[antlr-interest] No errors on missing tokens?

[Bill Andersen]

Partial answer to my own question, in case anyone is interested.

I added all the missing token definitions to my lexer.  When I then compiled the lexer and parser and looked at the .tokens files, all the tokens and their type #s lined up.  So it seems that:

1) Given a complete lexer, the compilation of the parser grammar is using the lexer's .tokens properly

2) Compiling the parser yielded no errors for a complete lexer .tokens file

3) Compiling the parser signalled no errors for an incomplete lexer .tokens file

The lexer .tokens file has a max token # of 108.  This should produce errors but is not.  BTW, compiling the parser grammar yields a .tokens file with a max token # of 158.
