[antlr-interest] Re: lexer frustrations

[megan camille]

thanks everyone for your responses. I am sorry my problem wasn't clear 
in the first email!
I will try again, but this time as a request for the next version of the 
lexer.
This concerns syntactic predicates in the lexer. When the lexer has the 
input 'EndTest' and it TRIES but FAILS to match a rule of the following 
form:

END : ("End" LINE_TERMINATOR) => ENDEXIT
    ;

I would like it to exit the failing match with input equal to 'EndTest'. 
Currently this will exit
with 'ndTest'.

It seems more intutive to me that failing syntactic predicates should 
not consume input.

thanks!
