Ter--
Paul's post reminds me--it would be nice to have a generic EBNF->ANTLR
translator, including separating lexer rules from parser rules.
That's a relatively simple project, but it could be enhanced by
automatic generation of synpreds where there is ambiguity. EBNF
notations all have the same syntax, just with different keyword
symbols (= or := or ::= for the lefthand/righthand separator, for
example). If you provide a translator for one EBNF dialect, then it
can probably be used for any other one after a few changes to the
lexer.
Come to think of it, your new analysis code might take the synpred
generation down to a small enough problem that this can easily be done
as a one-student term project.
