[antlr-interest] Syntax errors (masked by -diagnostic option)

[Ramanand Mandayam]

Hi

I am using antlr-3.2.jar obtained from the antlr.org website and am trying to 
process a lexical grammar as follows:
    > java -cp /usr/local/antlr/antlr-3.2.jar antlr.Tool -o . Vlogpp_bug.g

I get the following error: 
    Vlogpp_bug.g:23:2: Syntax error in action: Vlogpp_bug.g:23:2: unexpected 
char: '$'

However when I use the -diagnostic option then I do not see a syntax error but a 
few warnings:
    > java -cp /usr/local/antlr/antlr-3.2.jar antlr.Tool -o . -diagnostic 
Vlogpp_bug.g 


    ANTLR Parser Generator   Version 2.7.7 (20060906)   1989-2005
    Generating vlg_Lexer.txt
    Vlogpp_bug.g:23: warning:lexical nondeterminism upon
    Vlogpp_bug.g:23:     k==1:'*'
    Vlogpp_bug.g:23:     k==2:'/'
    Vlogpp_bug.g:23:     between alt 1 and exit branch of block

    Generating vlg_LexerTokenTypes.txt

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
