11 Mar 2008 There are certain things about ANTLR that, if understood, help in faster debugging
and provide a fuller appreciation of how the tool works. Learn how to use ANTLR to create
smarter parsing solutions.
In this tutorial
- Getting the facts about ANTLR
- Processing include files
- Include file processing
- Strategies for handling the INCLUDE directive
- Compilers
- Compiler fundamentals
- Understand the code
- Optimizing your include file processing
- Performance optimization
- Proper parser functioning
- Modify the main routine
- Error handling
- Recover from errors in user code
- Manipulate the exception class hierarchy
- Common lexer classes
- Exceptions for rogue or unexpected characters
- Why bother with the exceptions?
Objectives
In this tutorial, you learn how to create custom language parsing with the help
of ANTLR. In addition, you learn how to address common issues that arise with
compiler and parser creation.
Prerequisites
To fully appreciate this tutorial, you must have some familiarity with both
language parsing and with ANTLR. All code in this tutorial has been tested with
ANTLR version 2.7.2 and
compiled with the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)
version 3.4.4.
