http://www.antlr.org/article/1055465962038/index.html We have recently completed the conversion of cplusplus.g to CPP_parser.g to run under ANTLR 2.7.1. (to produce C++ code). A relatively inexperienced programmer (in C++ and ANTLR) took about a year for the conversion and it was rather more difficult than we had hoped. ... PCCTS and ANTLR use completely different approaches to generate Lexer source code, so the lexer part of the old grammar file, cplusplus.g, must be replaced with a new one. ... (and so on) Err, do I have to? :-) This really doesn't look like a straightforward port at all; it certainly doesn't do anything like building out of the box with antlr. I could make it use the internal copy of pccts, of course, but we generally prefer not to do that in Debian. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
