ANTLR v4 Honey Badger early access

Jan 30, 2012

* Moving to github.

Jan 28, 2012

* ~[] stuff is allowed and works inside sets etc...

Jan 22, 2012

* Added ranges, escapes to [a-z] notation in lexer:

    a-z is the inclusive range
    escape characters with special meaning: trnbf\'" such as \t
    \uXXXX Unicode character with text digits
    \- is the - character
    \] is the ] character

    Missing final range value gives just first char.
    Inverted ranges give nothing
    Bad escape sequence gives nothing

Jan 21, 2012

* Added modeNames to gen'd lexers
* added lexer commands
  skip
  more
  popMode
  mode(x)
  pushMode(x)
  type(x)
  channel(x)

  WS : (' '|'\n')+ -> skip ;

  use commas to separate commands: "-> skip, mode(FOO)"
* Lexer fields mv from x to _x like type changed to _type.

* labels on tokens in left-recursive rules caused codegen exception.
* leave start/stop char index alone in CommonTokenFactory; refers to original text.
* reuse of -> label on multiple alts in rule caused dup ctx object defs.

Jan 11, 2012

* -> id labels work now for outermost alternatives, even for left-recursive
  rules; e.g.,

  | a=e '*' b=e {$v = $a.v * $b.v;}     -> mult
* Fixed a bug where visitTerminal got a NPE
* in tree views, spaces/newlines were blanks. I converted to \n and middle dot
  for space.

Jan 5, 2012

* Deleted code to call specific listeners by mistake. added back.
* Labels allowed in left-recursive rules:
    e returns [int v]
      : a=e '*' b=e {$v = $a.v * $b.v;}
      | a=e '+' b=e {$v = $a.v + $b.v;}
      | INT         {$v = $INT.int;}
      | '(' x=e ')' {$v = $x.v;}
      ;


Jan 4, 2012

* '_' was allowed first in symbol names in grammar
* fix unit tests
* Allow labels in left-recursive rules
* lr rules now gen only 1 rule e->e not e->e_ etc... altered tests to build parse trees.
* no more -trace, use Parser.setTrace(true)
* add context rule option; not hooked up
* 1+2*3 now gives new parse tree: (e (e 1) + (e (e 2) * (e 3)))
