Scoping and content assist relation [message #690803]

I have a simple grammar below, but the content assist displays possibilities like 'include' under 'package'. Should I customize content assist or change the scoping? My impression was that scoping only applies to references a given context?

Model:
	package=PackageDeclaration;

PackageDeclaration:
	'package' name=QualifiedName '{'
	elements+=AbstractPackageElement*
	'}';

AbstractPackageElement:
	ModuleDeclaration | TestDeclaration;

ModuleDeclaration:
	'module' name=QualifiedName '{'
	properties+=Property* &
	elements+=AbstractModuleElement*
	'}';

AbstractModuleElement:
	Include | PreCompileOption | Type;

Include:
	'include' name=STRING;

Feeding this sample input, gives an error "missing '}' at 'module'". Naturally, it should complain about 'include' being in the wrong place.

package myPackge{
	include "inc"
	module myModule {
	}
}

Thanks for helping!

Hi Balazs,

please be careful with the precedencies of &, | and sequential lists of
grammar elements. Your rule

ModuleDeclaration:
'module' name=QualifiedName '{'
properties+=Property* &
elements+=AbstractModuleElement*
'}';

should probably read like:

ModuleDeclaration:
'module' name=QualifiedName '{'
( properties+=Property* & elements+=AbstractModuleElement* )
'}';

Hope that helps,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks again! Now I get a lot of warnings like below. I guess my grammar smells bad.

Decision can match input such as "'property' RULE_ID RULE_ID" using multiple alternatives: 1, 2
As a result, alternative(s) 2 were disabled for that input
Semantic predicates were present but were hidden by actions.

It's hard to tell what's wrong without your complete grammar. However,
AntlrWorks may help to spot the errors.

Regards,
Sebastian
