[antlr-interest] Building interactive interpreters?

Hi,
I'm new to ANTLR and I'd like to use it to build an interactive
interpreter (generating C or, even better, a C++ parser).
If I've understood correctly, ANTLR wants to tokenize all the input
upfront, which makes building interactive parsers cumbersome.
I think I can work around this limitation by trying to parse whole
statements each time I get some input from the command line, and then
wait for more input, without displaying any error, if the parsing fails
because there are not enough tokens. While this approach may work, I
don't like it very much.
Is there a better method? I hope I'm missing something ;-)
Regards,
Giovanni
