[stringtemplate-interest] 2. Attempt: ANTLR code generation target/Stringtemplate: modifying the C-Runtime I

[Terence Parr]

Hi Udo, IJust spent a few minutes trying to figure out exactly what's going on with your issue: missing <token> value, but without digging through all of the ANTLR templates and the code that injects attributes, I'm afraid I won't be able to track down why attribute token has no value. Sorry.
