/**
* This class provides access to the current version of the ANTLR 4 runtime
* library as compile-time and runtime constants, along with methods for
* verifying a minimum level compatibility before executing code which depends
* on the ANTLR 4 runtime library.
*
* Targets generate a tiny bit of code that executes upon loading of
* a parser or lexer, which should check its version against what is contained in this object. For example,
* here is something from the Java templates:
* <p>
* The runtime version information is provided by {@link #VERSION} and
* {@link #getRuntimeVersion()}. Detailed information about these values is
* provided in the documentation for each member.</p>
*
* public class <parser.name> extends <superClass> {
* static { RuntimeMetaData.checkVersion("<file.ANTLRVersion>"); }
* ...
*
* This way, previous versions of target X that are incompatible (e.g., 4.1 and 4.2) will result in
* a warning emitted through the appropriate channel for that target. This can be a msg to stderr or
* an exception; it's up to the target developer. I have decided to throw an exception for Java target
* as a message might not be seen if the parser were embedded in a server or something.
* <p>
* The runtime compatibility check is implemented by {@link #checkVersion}.
* Detailed information about incorporating this call into user code, as well as
* its use in generated code, is provided in the documentation for the
* method.</p>

/**
* This method provides the ability to verify that the version of the ANTLR
* 4 used to execute a parser is compatible with the Tool used to generate
* the parser code and/or the version of the runtime the parser was compiled
* against.
*
* <p>
* Starting with ANTLR 4.2.3, the code generator emits two constants in each
* generated parser: a hard-coded constant indicating the version of the
* tool used to generate the parser and a reference to the compile-time
* constant {@link #VERSION}. At runtime, this method is called to ensure
* that, according to the version numbers, the semantics of the generated
* code are known to be compatible with the version of the ANTLR runtime
* used to execute code.</p>
*
* <p>
* The definition of "semantic changes" which are considered by this method
* depend on the value of {@code extendedSemantics}. When this value is
* {@code false}, as is the case for calls to this method in generated code,
* "semantic changes" means changes in the runtime that alter the behavior
* of parsers that use only standardized language features, which does not
* include the behavior of target-language-specific features such as
* embedded actions, custom semantic predicates, and runtime methods that
* are never called by the generated code but may be overridden in separate
* user code. When this value is {@code true}, "semantic changes" indicates
* a wider check across frequently used aspects of the runtime. The latter
* case may or may not consider all breaking changes across releases; for
* details on the specific methods in place see the release notes for the
* affected version(s).</p>
*
* <p>
* Note that if this method throws an exception when
* {@code extendedSemantics} is {@code false}, the lexer or parser which
* resulted in the exception will be prevented from executing, so this
* behavior is reserved for changes that are true breaking changes in the
* behavior. These changes, if any, are mentioned in the release notes for
* the affected release.</p>
*
* <p>
* Also note that some breaking changes between releases could result in
* other types of runtime exceptions, such as a {@link LinkageError}, prior
* to calling this method. This method is primarily intended to catch
* semantic changes that do not result in binary compatibility problems
* which would be detected by the class loader. As with semantic changes,
* changes which break binary compatibility between releases are mentioned
* in the release notes accompanying the affected release.</p>
*
* <p>
* <strong>Additional note for target developers:</strong> The compatibility
* check implemented by this class is designed to address specific
* compatibility issues that may arise during the execution of Java
* applications. Other targets should consider the implementation of this
* method in the context of that target's known execution environment, which
* may or may not resemble the design provided for the Java target.</p>
*
* @param toolVersion The version of the tool used to generate a parser.
* This value may be null when called from user code that was not generated
* by, and does not reference, the ANTLR 4 Tool itself.
* @param compileTimeVersion The version of the runtime the parser was
* compiled against. This should always be passed using a direct reference
* to {@link #VERSION}.
* @param extendedSemantics {@code false} to only check compatibility for
* the API used in generated code, not counting embedded actions and
* semantic predicates; otherwise, {@code true} to check compatibility
* across a wider range of frequently-used features that are commonly used
* in user-defined embedded actions and/or semantic predicates.
*
* @exception ANTLRVersionMismatchException if the version of the ANTLR
* runtime used to execute a compiled parser contains semantic changes which
* would alter the behavior of the generated code

* method in the generated code, and did not expose the VERSION
* field. For the specific purposes of this compatibility check, the
* "first public release" of ANTLR 4 can be treated as 4.2.3.
* * If an incompatibility is introduced in a version after 4.2.3,
