Hello,
I am trying to build a sophisticated AST using ANTLR. The attributes
.line and .pos allow me to obtain the start line and column position of
a token. However, is it also possible to get the end line and column?
(since I want to have that information in the AST as well to allow
underlining specific rules in the input text)
I think it would be possible by using .text and then counting chars and
newlines in that string. However, I think text building is costly and
not the right way to do it.
So what is the "best" way to get the end line and end column of a token
or rule in ANTLR?
Best regards,
Jan Finis
