[antlr-interest] Visual Studio 2008 C++ and ANTLR 3

[Robert Soule]

Antlr 3.1.2 won't generate c++, but I have had no problems linking with
c++ code. If you want your antlr grammar to output c++, such as in:

myrule : a { cout << "a"; } b ;

Then you will need to throw in some hacks to get the #includes right. I used:

@header{
#ifndef _MyLangauge_H
  #include <iostream>
  #include <string>
  using namespace std;
#endif
}

where "_MyLangauge_H" is the include guard generated by the antlr tool.
