Mike Lischke 8280beb564 Refactoring of further int values, mostly converting them to size_t.
- Switched most symbolic signed constants to unsigned variants. Redefined EOF in particular to become (size)-1, to avoid having to use signed token type values.
- Introduced INVALID_INDEX for all previous -1 values to indicate e.g. not found indexes etc.
- Added 2 helpers to convert between symbolic and numeric form (mostly for intervals and toString()).
- Removed many no longer needed type casts to size_t.
- Updated templates for these changes.
- Limited runtime tests to C++ tests only, to see how Travis CI copes with that.

ANTLR v4

ANTLR (ANother Tool for Language Recognition) is a powerful parser generator for reading, processing, executing, or translating structured text or binary files. It's widely used to build languages, tools, and frameworks. From a grammar, ANTLR generates a parser that can build parse trees and also generates a listener interface (or visitor) that makes it easy to respond to the recognition of phrases of interest.

Given day-job constraints, my time working on this project is limited so I'll have to focus first on fixing bugs rather than changing/improving the feature set. Likely I'll do it in bursts every few months. Please do not be offended if your bug or pull request does not yield a response! --parrt

The Definitive ANTLR 4 Reference

Programmers run into parsing problems all the time. Whether its a data format like JSON, a network protocol like SMTP, a server configuration file for Apache, a PostScript/PDF file, or a simple spreadsheet macro language—ANTLR v4 and this book will demystify the process. ANTLR v4 has been rewritten from scratch to make it easier than ever to build parsers and the language applications built on top. This completely rewritten new edition of the bestselling Definitive ANTLR Reference shows you how to take advantage of these new features.

You can buy the book The Definitive ANTLR 4 Reference at amazon or an electronic version at the publisher's site.

You will find the Book source code useful.

Additional grammars

This repository is a collection of grammars without actions where the root directory name is the all-lowercase name of the language parsed by the grammar. For example, java, cpp, csharp, c, etc...
