[antlr-interest] Java Target - How to Generate the Parser and Lexer at Runtime?

[Sameh W. Zaky]

OK, I will clarify my question (sorry that I was not clear in my previous
mail).

The 2 files are different mainly in the constructors

*When I use the method you told me about in the first message, the output
Parser.java has the constructors:*
*public **RulesGrammarParser(TokenStream input) {*
*            this(input, new RecognizerSharedState());*
*        }*
*public RulesGrammarParser(TokenStream input, RecognizerSharedState state) {
*
*            super(input, state);*
*             *
*        }*


*But when I use click 'Run..' in ANTLRWorks I get the output Parser.java has
the constructors:*

*public RulesGrammarParser(TokenStream input) {*
*            this(input, DebugEventSocketProxy.DEFAULT_DEBUGGER_PORT, new
RecognizerSharedState());*
*        }*
*public RulesGrammarParser(TokenStream input, int port,
RecognizerSharedState state) {*
*            super(input, state);*
*            DebugEventSocketProxy proxy =*
*                new DebugEventSocketProxy(this, port, null);*
*            setDebugListener(proxy);*
*            try {*
*                proxy.handshake();*
*            }*
*            catch (IOException ioe) {*
*                reportError(ioe);*
*            }*
*        }*
*public RulesGrammarParser(TokenStream input, DebugEventListener dbg) {*
*        super(input, dbg, new RecognizerSharedState());*

*}*


*In addition to this method:*
*protected boolean evalPredicate(boolean result, String predicate) {*
*        dbg.semanticPredicate(result, predicate);*
*        return result;*
*    }*

*and these declarations:*
*public static final String[] ruleNames = new String[] {*
*        "invalidRule", "in", "evaluation", "gt", "consequence", "lte", *
*        "times", "lte_math", "divided_by", "enumeration_value",
"gte_math", *
*        "range", "check", "variable", "last_connection", "numeric_value", *
*        "term", "gte", "modulus", "plus", "source_name", "connection",
"lt", *
*        "source", "function", "equal", "name_of_quality", "condition",
"primary", *
*        "minus", "value_of_quality", "arithmeticExpression"*
*    };*
*     *
*        public int ruleLevel = 0;*
*        public int getRuleLevel() { return ruleLevel; }*
*        public void incRuleLevel() { ruleLevel++; }*
*        public void decRuleLevel() { ruleLevel--; }*


And by input text, I mean the input.. The text that I write in ANTLRWorks
when I click 'Run..'

Thanks for your time :-)
