Hi,

I think I've found a little error in the C grammar available at
http://antlr.org/grammar/1153358328744/C.g .

The lexer rule in question is:
OCTAL_LITERAL : '0' ('0'..'7')+ IntegerTypeSuffix? ;

- Only 1 leading zero is allowed, but gcc allows 1 or more:
OCTAL_LITERAL : '0'+ ('0'..'7')+ IntegerTypeSuffix? ;

It's a minor thing, but still...

regards
-- Mark Ruvald.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
