[antlr-interest] ANTLR & Testing: Experiences and Practices?

[Matthew Ford]

Hi micheal,
Here is V1.1 of CodeSections which will allow you to handle multiple
versions of the code in the same file.
I use it for multiple versions tree walkers and for private/public versions
of C code.  I also use it to optionally add debugging code.

There are two version of CodeSections.  A commandline version and an Ant
version (both in the same src file ofcourse)  See the CodeSections.cs file
for details.


regards
matthew

Mods:
V1.1 27th October 2002 allow alternate names for same code section (see
testin.cs for examples)
V1.0 26th October 2002 initial release


--------------------------
Input File Format
--------------------------
alternative code sections start with
<<id>>=
starting in col1 and followed by alternative code seciton ids or whitespace
and is termimated by a newline
where id is  $ alpha or underscore followed by $ alpha,underscore or digits
(a Java identifier)
spaces are NOT allowed within id or between << id and >>=

sections continue until next section or EOF

<<*>>=
is the default section that is always output

To output other code sections list the id's of the sections to be output in
the arguments

java -jar CodeSections inputFile outFile [ids]*

If there are no ids listed just the <<*>>= sections will be output.

If you ask for an id that does not exist in the input file a warning is
printed on
System.out

See this file and the testin.cs for examples
