[antlr-interest] Memory issue with ANTLR

[Jayani Withanawasam]

Thanks Mark,

If I do not increase the max heap size, I will not get the reference
issues.
So, as you have mentioned, this can be something to do with the C# ANTLR
runtime and grammar files.

I tried the command you sent also.(To increase heap size) But still I
get the same error.

Regards,
Jayani.

Hi Jayani,

It looks like you may have already increased the max heap size with the
-Xms32M -Xmx512M options, I guess java does not care if its M or m for
megabytes, I use m, like:

java -Xmx512m -classpath $(ANTLR_CLASSPATH) org.antlr.Tool
-Xconversiontimeout 1200000 -report mygrammar.g

Anyway back in your first email, it looked like you sort of got past
that when running it in visual studio, and instead got this error:

But I don't know how to fix this error (I don't know if
IAstRuleReturnScope is
something in your code or the C# ANTLR runtime).
