Hi

I guess you are not talking about data type rules (which are actually
parsed)

For the rest: no.

Can you give some more hints on your usecase

Hi Christian,
Thanks for your reply Smile

Ok Let me explain you my use case,

I have a grammar something like:

SomeExpression:
SomeOtherExpr (rest part of the grammar);

SomeOtherExpr:
SomeAnotherExpr (rest part of the grammar);

SomeAnotherExpr:
INT | DOUBLE| LONG ;

For me , SomeExpression rule will return some value at the end which I am interested in.
So can I write the value converter for SomeExpression ?

Thanks in advance Smile

hi,

the problem is; your snippet is incomplete, you dont use assignments, so i cannot say.
if you dont use assignment then rulecalls mean "is a" and thus inheritance

SomeOtherExpr:
value=SomeAnotherExpr (rest part of the grammar);

SomeAnotherExpr:
INT | DOUBLE| LONG ;

Hi Christian,
I missed one point.
In my grammar, I have the assignment like:
value=SomeExpression
And this SomeExpression has sub rules and assignments as written above.
I want to write a value Converter for this SomeExpression. I tried writing it. The method is getting called but I get string as null value in toValue(final String string, final INode node) method.
Any suggestions??

Thanks in advance Smile

Please show all relevant parts of the grammar.
Strip it down to a simple example grammar.

Please note: do not use any assignments In datatye rules.BTW your
type is string (the grammar snippet indicates that)
