[antlr-interest] Does ANTLR *need* ASTNull?

[micheal_jor]

Hi,

I have run into an issue with ASTNULL and hetero-ASTs using Java as 
the target language (IIRC C# doesn't have ASTNULL and it isn't an 
issue with C++).

Specifically, there are a few situations where ASTNULL is assigned as 
the value of a vriable then, an attempt is made to cast that variable 
whose value is ASTNULL to an hetero-AST class ==> classCastException! 

Why does ANTLR-Java need ASTNULL?. 
Why isn't just "null" simply used as in ANTLR-C#?
