[antlr-interest] Compile errors with CSharp2 Target

[Sam Harwell]

Hi Simon,

Using the 3.3.1 build I posted last night, the only issue with the C# target
is the use of {$channel=HIDDEN;}. To match .NET naming conventions, the
hidden channel constant is Hidden, so they need to be changed to
{$channel=Hidden;}.

I updated the grammar you sent by:

1. Fixing the CSharp3 build issue (requires the 3.3.1 build I posted last
night).
2. Left factoring to remove the backtrack, memoize, and k=2 options.
3. Using the extended AST operators of the CSharp3 target to remove
unnecessary rewrite rules.

I haven't tested the result aside from making sure it compiles properly with
the CSharp3 target.

Sam

we can check this and any other errors. I forgot which ANTLR versions
require what runtimes exactly, but you need 3.1 or 3.2 for CSharp2. CSharp3
requires ANTLR 3.3 and other assemblies than I've provided, as the targets
aren't compatible with each other yet. Not sure if those assemblies are
provided in distro or where else you can find them. Sam should know more.

Ah, thanks to everyone for pointing out the obvious - I looked more
thoroughly in the grammar and in the end did find some stray bits of Java
code which, once eliminated let it compile just fine using
CSharp2.   I still have the same errors with CSharp3 (incorrect escape
sequences when generated with antlr 3.1.3, different errors with antlr
3.3).   I've attached the "purified" Php.g grammar that succeeds in
CSharp2 but fails in CSharp3 in case it is useful - however I think I will
proceed with CSharp2 at this point.

Thanks again for the help!

Simon
