I'm parsing a 7-bit ASCII stream ... 2 questions Question 1: can't I just fall-thru wrt to lexer rules, where lexer rules are specific-to-general, and avoid indeterminisms at run-time? For example:
NULL : '\u0000' ; SOH : '\u0001' ; ... // (EACH CONTROL CHARCTER HAS ITS OWN LEXER RULE) HTAB : '\u0009' // horizontal tab ; LF : '\u000A' // carriage return ; CR : '\u000D' // carriage return ; SP : '\u0020' // SPACE ; DQUOTE : '\u0022' // (Double Quote) ; DIGIT : '\u0030'..'\u0039' // 0-9 ; ... // (THEN I WANT TO DENOTE RANGES ... ) UPPER_CASE : '\u0041'..'\u005A' // A..Z ; TWEEN_CASE : '\u005B'..'\u0060' ; LOWER_CASE : '\u0061'..'\u007a' // a..z ; ... // (AND IF NOTHING ABOVE MATCHES, AT LEAST WE'RE MATCHING HERE ... ) CHAR : '\u0000'..'\u007F' // any 7-bit US-ASCII character ; Question 2: I'm at a loss how to match the notation in the spec I'm writing a grammar for where binary digits are '0' or '1' and digits are '0'..'9'. (ABNF-ish) It is prefered to make the grammar rule names match that (whether lexer or parser, it doesn't matter) Can I write a binary_digit parser rule that works with DIGIT above somehow? Thanks much for any help. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "il-antlr-interest" group.
