INTRODUCTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Welcome to ANTLR v3! ANTLR (ANother Tool for Language Recognition) is
|
||
|
|
a language tool that provides a framework for constructing
|
||
|
|
recognizers, interpreters, compilers, and translators from grammatical
|
||
|
|
descriptions containing actions in a variety of target
|
||
|
|
languages. ANTLR provides excellent support for tree construction,
|
||
|
|
tree walking, translation, error recovery, and error reporting. I've
|
||
|
|
been working on parser generators for 25 years and on this particular
|
||
|
|
version of ANTLR for 9 years.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You should use v3 in conjunction with ANTLRWorks:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and gUnit (grammar unit testing tool included in distribution):

The book will also help you a great deal (printed May 15, 2007); you
|
||
|
|

What is ANTLR?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ANTLR stands for (AN)other (T)ool for (L)anguage (R)ecognition
|
||
|
|
and generates LL(*) recursive-descent parsers. ANTLR is a language tool
|
||
|
|
that provides a framework for constructing recognizers, compilers, and
|
||
|
|
translators from grammatical descriptions containing actions.

How is ANTLR v3 different than ANTLR v2?
|

How do I install this damn thing?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You will have grabbed either of these:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://antlr.org/download/antlr-3.5-complete-no-st3.jar
|
||
|
|
http://antlr.org/download/antlr-3.5-complete.jar
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It has all of the jars you need combined into one. Then you need to
|
||
|
|
add antlr-3.5-complete.jar to your CLASSPATH or add to arg list; e.g., on unix:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ java -cp "/usr/local/lib/antlr-3.5-complete.jar:$CLASSPATH" org.antlr.Tool Test.g
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Source + java binaries: Just untar antlr-3.5.tar.gz and you'll get:
