Hi guys, I just wanted to give you an update on my Antlr4-Falcon-Simplification I have been working on:
I have actually come quite far with my work on falcon. Unfortunately I had to put quite a lot of work into JBurg first. I created a maven plugin for JBurg and ajdusted JBurgs build tob e able to publish Maven artifacts. The plugin allows us to let JBurg use whatever libs it needs without interfering with the rest. Then I refactored JBurg to use stringtemplate 4. Then I had to migrate our Falcon JBurg rules to JBurg 2.0 syntax. After that I updated Falcon to work with JBurgs DefaultAdapter instead of our IASNodeAdapter and could hereby completely remove any dependency on the JBurg libs. Now I still have to fine tune the templates as the CmcEmitter and CSSEmitter still have some small problems. I already have converted all grammars to Antlr4 and the generated parsers seem to be parsing their input niceley :) As soon as the BURM generation works, I'll continue directly building the Falcon AST in the first Antlr4 parser run. And as a result my version builds nicely with Maven ;-) Chris PS: All my comitted changes are in Falcons "falcon-antlr4" branch ... but you need my updates to JBurg which tom will hopefully apply after I finished my work and sent him all of my changes. Perhaps I'll have to help setup a sonatype account to which the artifacts can be published and help publishing the 2.0 release as soon as he has finished it.
