Ok, my mark() implementation was knackered.  All better now.



It seems that ANTLR is less happy about me trying to parse 'fragments'
now.

i.e. if I set up the input "test", and then invoke

  MyParser.identifier()

the generated parser now says

  NoViableAltException(-1!=[()* loopback of ..blah..]

whereas this seemed to work with the earlier ANTLR releases, at least
for some rules.


Is this sort of usage just not intended to work?

In the cases where I had problems in the past, I'd just append some
other token to the language fragment I was attempting to parse.

Is there a 'correct' way to fix this?  e.g. putting EOF all over the
place?


ta!
