- Lesser use of shared_ptr, e.g. in listeners and some loops.
- Removed useless access methods for children in ParseRuleContext. The child list is public. Fixed initialization for start and stop nodes.
- Simplified parent + child organization in Tree and all derived classes. Instead of using overridable functions in various descendants we have now central parent + child fields in the base tree class (where they belong actually, considering this is about forming a tree). Users have to cast to the appropriate classes if necessary.
- Removed obsolete getChildren() function in Trees helper. We can just return the child vector.
- Changed edges member to an unordered_map, as this is a sparse container. This speeds up certain grammars by 1000% (e.g. highly recursive expression rules) and avoids wasting a lot of memory. This change also simplifies handling significantly.
- Had to escape tabs + linebreaks in DefaultErrorStrategy when generating a text representation. Also removed a few explicit string instance creations on the way.
- Member vars in parser context classes that take (optional) Token references must be initialized.
- Fixed a warning that copyFrom() would hide a virtual function in a ParserRuleContext.
- Another attempt to limit genrating double semicolons.
In order to be able to build with cmake and to have a complete source package including the demo the deployment scripts were moved to the root Cpp folder and updated.
Also the releasing-antlr.md doc file has been updated.
Apparently context references can disappear while such a ref is held in the (temporary) merge cache. Hence we need to do a full ref for the merge cache key pair.
Closes issue #12.
- Added new rule to test grammar to get code generation for wildcard capture.
- Updated the Cpp.stg template file for that.
- Made the Unicode hack (auto extend 0xFFFF to 0x10FFFF) dependent on a parameter, so we only use this hack when deserializing an ATN. This avoids trouble with intervals used in other contexts (like string offsets).
- Added a few operator != overloads, to fix compilation after recent changes.
- Simplified operands comparison in SemanticContext (uses the Arrays class now). Some cleanup in that class too.
- The abstract parse tree visitor now uses const& for Any references, to avoid reallocating new instances over and over again.
- The lexer counts syntax errors the same way as the parser does. So we can directly determine if there was any error by simply examining that (which avoids having to use a temporary listener).
- Fixed an endless recursion in Any, caused by the removal of one of the (apparently) unneeded copy constructors. As it turned out both are required. That leads to a warning in VS about a duplicate copy c-tor, which had to be suppressed therefore.
- Raised the warning level to W4 in both VS 2013 and VS 2015 and fixed all warnings resulting from that.
The translation from Java generics to templates in C++ lead to the need of virtual template functions, which is not supported by C++. Instead we use now the Any class for results of visits and no longer need templates for that part.
- Only require JRE
- Support out of tree build from antlr repostitory
- Support Superproject build with ExternalAntlr4Cpp cmake module
ExternalAntlr4Cpp module has quickstart documentation for people to be
able to start working quicly with antlr4cpp from the base demo sources
see source file for example.
