[antlr-interest] generating C code from g3pl file for 64 bit linux

[Krishna Venuturimilli]

Well the generated code is using ANTLR_UINT32 variable and is assigning
ANTLR_MARKER type value to it; this doesn't work on 64 bit. So I was
wondering if the generated C code is dependent on 32 vs 64 bit.

Is there a way to make it use UINT64 instead of UINT32?

thanks
