[antlr-interest] Using paraphrase option when using the C target in ANTLR

[Heiko Folkerts]

Hi all,
I am currently trying to improve the quality of our error messages generated bvy our ANTLR generated parser. Since our error messages are generally in german I'd like to take advance of the paraphrase option for rules and tokens to assign a clear name to those things. Unfortunately I get errors from ANTLR when using the following token definition:
ALPHASTRING
options { paraphrase="Zeichenkette";}
: ('a'..'z' | 'A'..'Z' | '0'..'9' | '/' | '-' | '\u00c0' .. '\u00d6' | '\u00d8' .. '\u00fc')+;

ANTLR reports: "unexpected token "Zeichenkette"

So can't I use paraphrases in the C target? I am using antlr3.2. 
Is there a workarround for the paraphrases?

Regards
Heiko
