In general, sorry if i discouraged before, it is really just a frustrating situation If you get stuck, just leave the PR open. I will try to dig into this too, I have been through it before. I do agree we can't stay on old releases forever. But the crazy shit they did between antlr 3.x and 4.x caused me pain: * made the mistake of not spelunking thru antlr guts to figure out how to prevent performance traps * had users report performance bugs (in all cases it was some grammar tweak to fix) * fix these performance bugs in subsequent releases * get frustrated with the leniency and figure out how to make the shit picky again. So I don't wish that on anyone. Currently the expressions is great because it is simple and performs well: Users can represent needs in a simple javascript-like fashion and trust that it has same performance as writing custom java code. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
