Since C and java use common syntax for some stuff (e.g., function calls), you
might explore how close you can get by extracting /all/ behavior to another
file, and then just doing callouts in the grammar file - e.g., calling
functions inherited from the baseclass.

This would allow one ANTLR input file that requires minor preprocessing
changes, as with sed, to work for both target languages.  This would be ideal,
but I'm sure there will be other minor tweaks required...
    sed 's/language="java"/language="Cpp"/'

Hope this helps,
