You might receive warnings about missing templates here. You can ignore them as they don’t affect the validity of the code.

Care to supply fr.stg? This is because the locale language has been detected as French, but there is no French translation of the error and warning messages yet.

This is because you have something like:

printf("text is %s\n", $x.text->chars);

ANTLR does not know about C stuff itself, so it sees a % in your format code and thinks you are trying to do something with a string template. Make this go away by escaping the %:

printf("text is \%s\n", .....

You can ignore these, they will go away in the next beta. I just missed the boat on changing the lexer code gen template for C.

To get to the bottom of this, I would need to see your grammar. But it is probably something specified incorrectly that later releases of ANTLR would catch as a warning/error. One thing you could look for is over complicated use of $attribute stuff in C code expressions. In general you want to assign the results to some local variable and use that.
