[antlr-interest] How to use lexer getCharPositionInLine() function in Cpp target

[Gokulakannan Somasundaram]

getCharPositionInLine() function is present inside Lexer. You can just call
it as similar to Java.
just replace the MACRO GETCHARPOSITIONINLINE() with
this->getCharPositionInLine() ?

I can't understand second part of your question.

Thanks,
Gokul.
