[antlr-interest] ANTLR3 Mapping AST Tree to StringTemplate

[Kailey Joanette]

I'll ask our people here to look into picking up a copy of the book, I'm
sure it'll be invaluable when it comes down to trying to get this translator
working.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but the syntax for doing what I want with an AST
would look something like this:
 
modifier returns [StringTemplate code=template("access")]
        :       
        {StringTemplate e1=null;}
               (
                       ^(MODIFIER name='public') {code.setAttribute("name",
e1);}
            |   ^(MODIFIER name='protected') {code.setAttribute("name",
e1);}
            |   ^(MODIFIER name='private') {code.setAttribute("name", e1);}
            |   ^(MODIFIER name='static') {code.setAttribute("name", e1);}
            |   ^(MODIFIER name='abstract') {code.setAttribute("name", e1);}
            |   ^(MODIFIER name='final') {code.setAttribute("name", e1);}
            |   ^(MODIFIER name='native') {code.setAttribute("name", e1);}
            |   ^(MODIFIER name='synchronized') {code.setAttribute("name",
e1);}
            |   ^(MODIFIER name='transient') {code.setAttribute("name",
e1);}
            |   ^(MODIFIER name='volatile') {code.setAttribute("name", e1);}
            |   ^(MODIFIER name='strictfp') {code.setAttribute("name", e1);}
           )
        ;
 
And the ST grammar would obviously have an "access" rule with "name"
attribute
 
Thanks for the quick reply btw!
 
Now if I could just figure out how to manipulate my AST trees. Being this is
the first time I've ever had to do any language parsing/translating
whatsoever.
