                                                                          CodeGenerator generator,
                                                                          Grammar grammar,
                                                                          org.antlr.stringtemplate.StringTemplate recognizerST,

isValidActionScope

public boolean isValidActionScope(int grammarType,
                                  java.lang.String scope)
Is scope in @scope::name {action} valid for this kind of grammar? Targets like C++ may want to allow new scopes like headerfile or some such. The action names themselves are not policed at the moment so targets can add template actions w/o having to recompile ANTLR.

Overrides:
isValidActionScope in class Target

getTargetCharLiteralFromANTLRCharLiteral

public java.lang.String getTargetCharLiteralFromANTLRCharLiteral(CodeGenerator generator,
                                                                 java.lang.String literal)
Description copied from class: Target
Convert from an ANTLR char literal found in a grammar file to an equivalent char literal in the target language. For most languages, this means leaving 'x' as 'x'. Actually, we need to escape ' ' so that it doesn't get converted to \n by the compiler. Convert the literal to the char value and then to an appropriate target char literal. Expect single quotes around the incoming literal.

Overrides:
getTargetCharLiteralFromANTLRCharLiteral in class Target

getTargetStringLiteralFromANTLRStringLiteral

public java.lang.String getTargetStringLiteralFromANTLRStringLiteral(CodeGenerator generator,
                                                                     java.lang.String literal)
Convert from an ANTLR string literal found in a grammar file to an equivalent string literal in the C target. Because we must support Unicode character sets and have chosen to have the lexer match UTF32 characters, then we must encode string matches to use 32 bit character arrays. Here then we must produce the C array and cater for the case where the lexer has been encoded with a string such as 'xyz\n',

Overrides:
getTargetStringLiteralFromANTLRStringLiteral in class Target

performGrammarAnalysis

protected void performGrammarAnalysis(CodeGenerator generator,
                                      Grammar grammar)
Overrides the standard grammar analysis so we can prepare the analyser a little differently from the other targets. In particular we want to influence the way the code generator makes assumptions about switchs vs ifs, vs table driven DFAs. In general, C code should be generated that has the minimum use of tables, and tha meximum use of large switch statements. This allows the optimizers to generate very efficient code, it can reduce object code size by about 30% and give about a 20% performance improvement over not doing this. Hence, for the C target only, we change the defaults here, but only if they are still set to the defaults.

Overrides:
performGrammarAnalysis in class Target
Parameters:
generator - An instance of the generic code generator class.
grammar - The grammar that we are currently analyzing
