Graham, I have a similar problem and scopes are working for me, but to do it I have to build the trees with code and don't have the trees building correctly, but do expect it to work. My problem is that I have field definitions with names and also allow alias names for my field definitions. So I

Hi Ben, I don't do ANTLR 2 any more, but found this. http://www.antlr2.org/doc/lexer.html#lexicalrules As a shorthand notation, you may suffix an alternative or rule with '!' to indicate the alternative or rule should not pass any text back to the invoking rule or parser (if nonprotected): //

It's nice to know others have the same problems as me. Since you are in this realm, other things to watch out for are 1. Don't rely on ToStringTree() alone. My current version is modified to return the token type value and token type name. If you hit a bug an the match does not work as expected,

There is not enough info in the e-mail for me to determine the exact problem. If there is a problem with the grammar ANTLRWorks should catch it when building. If ANTLRWorks correctly builds the lexer and parser, and then the error appears when parsing, I would check the input against what the gram

This is not an exact answer to your question, but a possible direction to take for solving your problem. I would suggest looking at the AST from the parser using ToTokenString() and ToStringTree(). ToTokenString() will print the AST as a stream of tokens, with DOWN and UP tokens noted in the erro

I have the lexing, parsing and tree rewriting completed and will now be doing a proof of concept for the next phase to see if StringTemplates will work as expected. This will be my first use of StringTemplates. Since ST4 is so new and is not documented in the books, should I start with ST3 or jump

As a work around, use dupTree(). Note: This is example code, change as necessary. a scope { CommonTree b1tree; } @init { $a::b1tree = null; } : b1 = b { $a::b1tree = (CommonTree)adaptor.DupTree((CommonTree)$b1.tree); } b2 = b ; List: http://www.antlr.org/mailman/listinfo/antlr-interest

Imaginary node modifies tree unexpectedly. Bug, Grrr, or not what I expected? In the following grammar, rule a invokes rule b twice sequentially. The first b is captured as b1, and the second b is captured as b2. If rule b does not create an imaginary token, then both the trees for b1 and b2 are c
