[antlr-interest] non-determinism warning

[Tarun Khanna]

Hi All,

I stumbled across this problem once more, so here I am looking for some 
standard solution to such a problem.

Consider the following production ->

F: LP exp RP | (DOT IDENT)* (DOT TAB)?

There is non-determinism because the parser doesn't know, when to stop 
matching the first DOT and start looking for the second DOT.

Syntactic or semantic predicates can not be used as, there are no 
alternates. I don't want to use a look ahead of more than 1.

Please help...........
