/// \section generate Generating C
|
|
///
|
|
/// Before discussing how we compile or call the generated C code, we need to know how to invoke the C code generator.
|
|
/// This is achieved within the grammar file itself, using the language option:
|
|
///
|
|
/// \verbatim
|
|
options { language = C;}
|
|
\endverbatim
|
|
///
|
|
/// The code generator consists of a single .java file within the standard ANTLR tool jar, and a code generation template,
|
|
/// used by the StringTemplate engine, which drives code generation for all language targets. In fact you can make copies of the C.stg
|
|
/// and AST.stg templates and make changes to them (though you are encouraged not to, as it is better to provide bug fixes or
|
|
/// enhancements which we are happy to receive requests for and will do out best to incorporate.
|
|
///
|
|
/// If you are working in the Windows environment, with Visual Studio 2005 or later, you may wish to utilize the custom rulefile
|
|
/// provided in the C source code distribution under the <code>./vs2005</code> directory for this purpose. If you are using a pre-built
|
|
/// library then you can also download this rule file directly from the FishEye source code browser for ANTLR3.
|
|
///
|
|
/// In order to use the rulefile, you must adopt the following suffixes for your grammar files, though they are otherwise optional:
|
|
///
|
|
/// <table>
|
|
///
|
|
/// <tr>
|
|
/// <th> Suffix </th>
|
|
/// <th> Grammar should contain... </th>
|
|
/// </tr>
|
|
/// <tr>
|
|
/// <td> .g3l </td>
|
|
/// <td> A lexer grammar specification only. </td>
|
|
/// </tr>
|
|
/// <tr>
|
|
/// <td> .g3p </td>
|
|
/// <td> A parser grammar specification only. </td>
|
|
/// </tr>
|
|
/// <tr>
|
|
/// <td> .g3pl </td>
|
|
/// <td> A combined lexer and parser specification. </td>
|
|
/// </tr>
|
|
/// <tr>
|
|
/// <td> .g3t </td>
|
|
/// <td> A tree grammar specification. </td>
|
|
/// </tr>
|
|
///
|
|
/// </table>
|
|
///
|
|
/// You may also wish to use these suffixes if you are building your projects using Makefiles, as this makes the output deterministic.
|
|
/// However in this case a much better solution is probably to utilize the -depend option of the Antlr tool, which should tell your
|
|
/// Makefile what the grammar files generates, irrespective of its suffix. ANTLR does not care about the actual suffix you use for
|
|
/// your grammar file, so building for multiple platforms is relatively easy.
|
|
///
|
|
/// <b>NOTE:</b> Your grammar source, regardless of suffix must be named the same as the grammar statement within it. Grammar xyz
|
|
/// must be contained within a file called xyz.<i>anything</i>
|
