[antlr-interest] Way to "cut" parsing?

[Jim Idle]

You may or may not need catch clauses - usually you do not. You will almost
certainly need to influence error recovery by adding the empty rule to do
some magic token eating though, as this is what keeps antlr within the inner
rules as long as possible.

Will do. Just to be sure, what I have to do is to add a *catch* clause to
the rules in which I want parsing to be cut, and customize recovery (or
remove recovery) there. Right?

Guilty as charged! I will look into that too.

Thanks!
