[antlr-interest] C runtime, VS2005 barfs at generated Initializers for double!!

[Vamsi Juvvi]

Hi list/the-not-so-idle-idle:

   While preparing a small antlr presentation for my colleagues I managed to
generate code that VS 2005 simply refuses to compile.

   in my tree parser for a simple calculator example. I have

atom returns [double val]
    : (
            a=DECIMAL_LITERAL
        | a=HEX_LITERAL
        | a=OCTAL_LITERAL
       )
       { val = parseInt($a.text);}

    | a=FLOATING_POINT_LITERAL
      {val = parseDouble($a.text);}
    ;

The generated code for the atom method does this to initialize val

double val = 0.0D;

It does not compile unless I remove the D suffix on the 0.0. 0.0D is not a
legal double literal for Visual studio C/C++. Is there any way I can turn
this automatic initialization off ? Or is this a bug that'll need to be
fixed in the C templates ? I can workaround this using a struct to wrap my
double but that would be perverse.

thanks much for reading.
