[antlr-interest] C# target

[Sam Harwell]

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in the C# target for ANTLR 3.

The wiki page you linked to here has a link to documentation on setting up a
Visual Studio project to use the C# target:
http://www.antlr.org/wiki/display/ANTLR3/Antlr3CSharpReleases

When generating a grammar for the CSharp2 or CSharp3 target with a release
from that wiki article, the only way I've tested is using the Antlr3.exe
binary included in the release. In particular, ANTLRWorks may or may not be
capable of generating a proper grammar for these targets.

I have found here
http://www.antlr.org/wiki/display/ANTLR3/Antlr3CSharpReleases
a antlr-dotnet-csharpruntime-3.4.1 that after some compilations fixes
understand the files generated with antlrworks-1.4.3.
The fixes were : rename a boolean into bool and replace skip by Skip.
So is it normal it 's not inside the distribution archive ?
And while I am at it, it would be great if you could avoid to put macos
hidden files inside your archive because it's useless for windows/linux
users.

Can I suggest you to regenerate a new archive without hidden files ?

mkdir tmp && cd tmp
wget http://www.antlr.org/download/antlr-3.4.tar.gz
tar xvf antlr-3.4.tar.gz
find . -type f -iname ".*" -exec rm -rf {} \; rm antlr-3.4.tar.gz tar zcvf
antlr-3.4.tar.gz antlr-3.4

Thanks
