tool Fixes #661. A parser rule reference within a lexer rule would get a bad error message and then an exception. Further, errors within the grammar tree visitor would go to standard error instead of to an error manager because none of the subclasses implemented getErrorManager(). Introduced an error type for this error PARSER_RULE_REF_IN_LEXER_RULE. Added to unit test. 2014-07-11 12:09:47 -07:00

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.

Release notes

The Definitive ANTLR 4 Reference

You can buy a book 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.

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...
