Hi List,
The groovy-antlr4-grammar project is very hard to maintain and the
performance is terrible, so I am rewriting the
parser(https://github.com/danielsun1106/groovy-parser), which is based on the
Java grammar provided by the antlr offical and introduced some good idea from
the old grammar. The Java parser generated by antlr4 is proved efficient in the
most of senarios, so Groovy parser will be efficient too if monitoring the
performance from the beginning.
The groovy-parser project is now stand-alone in order to develop rapidly.
When the project is mature enough, I will make a PR to replace
groovy-antlr4-grammar. BTW, groovy-parser requires Java 8.
Currently groovy-parser supports all statements, most of
expressions(except method call expression, command expression, etc.). I wish
the groovy-parser could be done before the end of this year(2016).
Any suggestion and help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Daniel.Sun
