[antlr-interest] antlr-2.7.3 and CPP_parser_v_3.2 grammar

[Spam Dumpster]

Greetings,

I a new to ANTLR and I am attempting to use David Wigg's C++ v3.2
grammar with ANTLR 2.7.3.  However, I get errors when I
parse his example (i.e., "Quadratic.i") or another simple C++
class.

I've tried setting things up several times, but I think I'm still
overlooking something.  I am wondering if anyone else has had a similar
problem and can point me in the right direction.

Regards,
Bob

- I'm using Visual C++ 6.0 with Windows XP SP3.

- This is the content of the simple C++ class file, temp.cpp.

class X {
public:
     X() : x(0) { }
     ~X {}
     int f() { return (++x);  }
     int x;
};

- These messages were printed to cerr:

cerr test.cpp:4:5: unexpected token: ~
cerr test.cpp:4:6: unexpected token: X
cerr test.cpp:4:8: expecting RCURLY, found '{'
cerr test.cpp:5:13: unexpected token: {
cerr test.cpp:5:30: expecting EOF, found '}'


*** Here is what I did to build the parser. ***

1. Extracted antlr-2.7.3.tar.gz into D:\Devel\antlr\antlr-2.7.3.

2. Initialized the CPP_parser Visual C++ project.
     a) Created a Visual c++ console application project called
        CPP_parser.

     b) This creates these directories:
         D:\Devel\antlr\CPP_parser
         D:\Devel\antlr\CPP_parser\Debug

     C) Project settings

        o C++ Tab
        - Precompiled headers
             Not using precompiled headers
        - Preprocessor
           Additional include directories:
             D:\Devel\antlr\antlr-2.7.3\lib\cpp

        o Link Tab
        - Object/library modules:
             added lib\src.lib
          (I haven't added the lib\src.lib file to the directory
          yet.)

        o Browse info tab
        - Build browse info file
             Checked

     D) Extracted CPP_parser_v_3.2.zip into
        D:\Devel\antlr\CPP_parser.


3. Creating the static ANTLR library.
     a) Created a Visual c++ static library project called "src."
        Pre-compiled header and MFC support were not checked.

     b) Project setttings

        o C++ Tab
        - Precompiled headers
             Not using precompiled headers
        - Preprocessor
           Additional include directories:
             C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include,
             D:\Devel\antlr\antlr-2.7.3\lib\cpp

        o Library Tab
        - Output file name
             Debug\src.lib

        o Browse info tab
        - Build browse info file
             Checked

     C) Copied these files into
        D:\Devel\antlr\antlr-2.7.3\lib\cpp\antlr.
        - D:\Devel\antlr\CPP_parser\LLkParser.hpp
        - D:\Devel\antlr\CPP_parser\CharScanner.hpp

     D) Changed the tabsize(?) initializer in the three
        CharScanner constructors in
        D:\Devel\antlr\antlr-2.7.3\lib\cpp\src\CharScanner.cpp
        from tabsize(8) to tabsize(4).

     E) Copied the following files into
        D:\Devel\antlr\antlr-2.7.3\lib\cpp\src.
        - D:\Devel\antlr\CPP_parser\LLkParser.cpp
        - D:\Devel\antlr\CPP_parser\Parser.cpp

     F. Changed the name of the file dll.cpp in
        D:\Devel\antlr\antlr-2.7.3\lib\cpp\src\ to
        dll.cpp.saved.

     G. Added all of the *.cpp files in
        D:\Devel\antlr\antlr-2.7.3\lib\cpp\src\
        to the project.

     H. Clicked on the Build src.lib menu item.
        The library compiles with 3
        "C4355: 'this' : used in base member initializer list"
        warnings and compiles and builds with no errors.

     J. Copied Debug\src.lib to
        D:\Devel\antlr\CPP_parser\lib\src.lib.
        See 2.C "Link Tab" above.

4. Building the parser.

     A. Addedd D:\Devel\antlr\antlr-2.7.3\antlr.jar to the CLASSPATH
        environment variable.

     B. Entered the following commands in a console window:
        > D:
        > cd D:\Devel\antlr\CPP_parser
        > java antlr.Tool CPP_parser.g

     C. Added the following files to the CPP_parser Visual C++
        project.
        - CPPLexer.cpp
        - CPPParser.cpp
        - Dictionary.cpp
        - Main.cpp
        - MyCode.cpp
        - Support.cpp

     D. Clicked Build CPP_parser.exe
        The program compiles with 87
        "warning C4101: 'pe' : unreferenced local variable"
        warnings, and compiles and links with no errors.
