[antlr-interest] Antlr Bug?

[Gary Bennett]

There may be a problem with the c# code generator.

I have been having problems with this grammar: It generates files but
they won't run.

## Grammar Start ##

options {
	language = "CSharp";
}

class TestParser extends Parser ;

options {
	buildAST = true;	// uses CommonAST by default
}

name: n:NAME
	{ Console.WriteLine(" Name: {0}", n.getText() ); } 
	;

class TestLexer extends Lexer;

WS	:	(' '
	|	'\t'
	|	'\n'
	|	'\r')
	{ $setType(Token.SKIP); }
	;

NAME: 'a'
	;

## Grammar End ##

In the generated c# code you get this:

	static public void initializeASTFactory( ASTFactory factory )
	{
		factory.setMaxNodeType(5);
	}

But this leads to an argument exception - it doesn't like the 5 at all.

Change the 5 to a 6 manually and it works!

Assuming that the c# code generator is ok then what should I have done
to the grammar to have ended up with a 6 in the call instead of a 5!
