This prevents unintended use of default copy/assignment
constructor/operators. As long as the constructor/operator is not used
there is no problem. In the case of CircularQueue it might not be necessary
to do this, I disabled all copy assignment constructors for classes that do
not explicitly support them.

Ignore them or use the appropriate #pragma or whatever MSVC uses. Depending
on the version of antlr, the version of windows and the version of MSVC
(and the STL you use) you may not succceed building a dll. Search the
archives for some discussions on the subject (you may have to switch to
STLPort).

Cheers,

Ric
