Ok, with some investigation, I have narrowed it down to a change I
made - but I don't see why the change is bad. In the following code,
the LEFT_BRACKET is the older (functional) method whereas
RIGHT_BRACKET is using my improved (non-functional) method:
LEFT_BRACKET : {!this.in_noparse}? => '[';
RIGHT_BRACKET : {!this.in_noparse}? => ']';
ESCAPED_PUNC : ESCAPED__LEFT_BRACKET | ']';
fragment
ESCAPED_LEFT_BRACKET:
{this.in_noparse}? => '[';
So apparently there is a problem when two rules refer to the same
string literal, with just a gated semantic predicate distinguishing
them? Does that sound right?
