Hello,
I would suggest to look into the solution for abbreviated keywords, which
could work out here as well, if I correctly understand your concern.
You could realize a generic lexer rule for identifier. Code associated
with that rule could look into the database and obtain the correct token
id depending on the content (text) of the identifier matched by the lexer.
The parser would then only work with token IDs and look like a "normal"
Antlr grammar without lots of predicates.
Freundliche Grüße / Best Regards

[antlr-interest] Using predicates for keywords
Hi,
I want to use an abstract syntax in wich the keyword e.g. for an if
statement is available at runtime with a database call. So I don't want to
hard code 'if' in the parser but use an expression for a ifkeyword which
checks the database and returns wether the token is an if keyword or not.
I've tried with syntactic and semantic predicates, but even after reading
the sections from the antlr reference I don't know which way is the right
one for me.
The grammar would like something like this:
Statement:
Ifexpresseion
| loopexpression
;
Ifexpression: ifkeyword condition thenkeyword actionexpression;
Loopexpression: loopkeyword condition ':' actionexpression;
So how to code the ifkeyword and loopkeyword rules?
Thx in advance.
Btw.: thx to Jim for the help compiling the generated C code.
Mit freundlichem Gruß
