[antlr-interest] Problem with Lexer.. may be a bug

[Alexandre Porcelli]

Hi All,

  I have a problem with my lex rules... I have 5 similar rules... when
I try to use all of then.. i got the following error message:

"ANTLR could not analyze this decision in rule Tokens; often this is
because of recursive rule references visible from the left edge of
alternatives.  ANTLR will re-analyze the decision with a fixed
lookahead of k=1.  Consider using "options {k=1;}" for that decision
and possibly adding a syntactic predicate."

  I could solve this problem (transforming all the 5 rules in just
one). Is this a bug? (attached the grammars).

PS: I'm using the latest version (antlr-04-21-2007.17)...

Best Regards,
Alexandre Porcelli
