Make a block ignored by Parser [message #1733818] Wed, 01 June 2016 07:40 Go to next message

Hi,

I'm implementing an Editor for an existing Language.
In this Language a C integration is possible with the structure:
native do
/* C code*/
end

Since a real C integration would be difficult (or are there any recommendations?) I want to make the Parser ignoring the block between 'do' and 'end'.
How do I realize this?

I can't do it with the '->' operator in a terminal rule, because in other rules there are also 'do'-'end'-blocks used.

Can someone please help me with this?

sounds like a good usecase for a custom/stateful lexer.

or you enumerate all stuff like ( dont know if this works i a smooth way)

CODE: "keyword1"|...."keywordn" | ID | INT | ANY_OTHER | ....;

... but will it do what is required?
I don't think enumerating all possible C-code elements are a feasible option.

Hi,

thanks for the quick answers.

The meaning of the rule would look like
Native:
  ('native' | 'native/pre') 'do' -> 'end'
;

So the keywords are given and shall be highlighted, but everything between 'do' and 'end' shall be ignored and doesn't need to be highlighted. Basically like an ML_COMMENT, but without the '/*' and '*/'

do you mean something like this? :
Native:
	('native' | 'native/pre') 'do' e=enumRule 'end'
;
enum enumRule:
	ID | INT | STRING | ANY_OTHER
;

When I tried this it also doesn't accept anything within the block Confused

Ah yes that works better thanks!
I guess I have to see if it will suffice.

But I got a weird problem.. In a smaller Test-"language" it works, but in my final implementation it produces the error: " extraneous input 'content of block' expecting 'end' "
in both the rules are the same...

Another idea I have is to do a workaround with the Validator or something. Is there a possibility to suppress error messages at certain positions?

Else I guess I will give the custom Lexer a try.

Thanks in advance!
