[antlr-interest] Optimized code generation

[Ben]

I'm just learning Antlr, but I'll give this question a shot :)

Yes, backtracking decreases performance, often by a lot.  There are other ways of avoiding ambiguity, such as using syntatic/semantic predicates.  Parr's book (_The Definitive ANTLR Reference_) has a few chapters on these.

Hi All , 
 
Pls let me know what are all the option that I could use , to get the
generated code with more performance. ( Need to be fast in parsing ). 
 
I have enabled " backtracking = true " , will this hits the performance ??? 
Without this option some ambiquity is coming. 
 
Pls help me in providing any better performace tuning option that I could
set for code generation. 
 
Thanx in advance
