[antlr-interest] "Illegal target of jump or branch" in method: specialStateTransition

[Philippe Frankson]

Hi all,

I use teamcity to launch automatically a bunch of tests on our
application.
However, one test is failing. Error message: "Illegal target of jump or
branch".
One reason of the problem could be that the size of the function is too
big.
However that function is generated automatically by ANTLR 3.4.
The function 'specialStateTransition' in the inner class  DFA13 is
indeed quite long (about 3000 lines).
In previous versions of ANTLR that function didn't exist so I never had
that kind of error.
You can see the stack trace here below for detail.

Any idea how to solve this ? 
Would it be possible to split that function to avoid such problem ?

Thank you for any feedback
Philippe
