[antlr-interest] Does @synpredgate work per rule?

[Colin Macdonald]

Hi all, quick question,

Searching the forums leads me to believe that @synpredgate works at the 
rule level.  However my attempts (in Java target) still end up with "if ( 
state.backtracking==0 )" code

Terence posted this, which seems to indicate that it will work

A month earlier he'd described the exact problem I'm facing with syntactic 
predicates and setting necessary scope variables in actions during 
backtracking.  But didn't have a solution at that time.

Thanks
