I just tried this:
SL_COMMENT
: "//"
(~('\n'|'\r'))* ('\n'|'\r'('\n')?)
{
//*CCC- Allow comments to flow through to the rewrite engine
// $setType(Token.SKIP);
newline();
}
|
"//" (~('\n'|'\r'))*
;
And I got an warning saying:
D:\scm\tools\parsers\grammar\ANTLR\java.g:1235: warning:lexical
nondeterminism between alts 1 and 2 of block upon
D:\scm\tools\parsers\grammar\ANTLR\java.g:1235: k==1:'/'
D:\scm\tools\parsers\grammar\ANTLR\java.g:1235: k==2:'/'
D:\scm\tools\parsers\grammar\ANTLR\java.g:1235:
k==3:'\u0003'..'\t','\u000b','\u000c','\u000e'..'\uffff'
D:\scm\tools\parsers\grammar\ANTLR\java.g:1235:
k==4:<end-of-token>,'\u0003'..'\t','\u000b','\u000c','\u000e'..'\uffff'
I think I'm really lost. Help!
