[antlr-interest] Bytes Limit

[Jim Idle]

This is also quite often caused by a poorly specified grammar (especially lexers) causing lots lookahead and states etc. A good way to determine this is to find the DFA in question in the generated source code and see what decisions/rules it is handling. This should help you pin down where things are getting so big and then you can look at the why.

Hello Marcelo,

i'm afraid you hit a hard limit with java binary class files. how is your grammar looking, is it unusually big?
have also a look at

good luck,
