Hi,
In case anyone is interested, the ANTLR book PDF is available:
http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/tpantlr/index.html
I have a major upgrade, which will update the PDF next week. A number
of chapters had not been edited.
You might find the following chapter (that did not fit into the book)
useful:
http://www.antlr.org/wiki/display/ANTLR3/Predicated-LL+Parsing+Examples
It describes a number of situations in which pure LL(*) (with its
arbitrary regular lookahead) is insufficient. It describes how
semantic and syntactic predicates augment LL(*). There are 60 more
pages in the book about LL(*) and predicates.
Basically, my LL(*)+auto-backtrack-mode is roughly equivalent to a
PEG (that does not do character level parsing; I still separate
lexer, losing closure property for grammar merging).
