I have a question on the general best practice and speed between of using tokens vs rules to construct parts of the grammar. Our language has many phrases that share words, a simplified sample being 'first' and 'first second'. Would I be better off putting them in as tokens or rules from a speed of parsing perspective. Some of my tokens also contain whitespace.
i.e rule1: FIRST; rule2: FIRST WS SECOND; FIRST: 'first'; SECOND: 'second' WS: ' '; or rule1: RULE1; rule2: RULE2; RULE1: 'first second'; RULE2: 'first'; Thanks, Richard List: http://www.antlr.org/mailman/listinfo/antlr-interest Unsubscribe: http://www.antlr.org/mailman/options/antlr-interest/your-email-address -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "il-antlr-interest" group.
