[antlr-interest] Modifying lexer state from parser

[Omry Yadan]

Hi,

I want my lexer to start skipping whitespaces after a certain condition 
is met in the Parser.

what I am trying to do is to access the lexer and modify it when this 
condition is met.

something like this (note the magical $lexer.m_conditionMet which is 
just wishful thinking):


class L extends Lexer;
{
    boolean m_conditionMet= false;
}


WS
  : ( ' '
    | '\t'
    )
    { if (m_conditionMet) $setType(Token.SKIP); };



class P extends Parser;


foo: bar{$lexer.m_conditionMet = true;}


Is that possible?


      Omry.
