Assignments and function output have same sintax [message #985883]

I've got a situation that can be summarized with this little code:

Instruction:
   EmptyInstruction | Assignment;

EmptyInstruction: ';';

Assignment:
   variable=[Variable]':='expression=Expression';' ;

Function:
   'FUNCTION' name=ID
   instructions+=Instruction*
   output=[Function]':='expression=Expression';' ;

I know where is the problem, but how can I resolve the non-LL decision?

Very thank you for help.

I see no problem with this (Xtext 2.3.1). Enhanced with some more rules it works for me:

Grammar:

Model:
	(functions += Function)*;
	
Instruction:
   EmptyInstruction | Assignment;

EmptyInstruction: {EmptyInstruction} ';';

Assignment:
   variable=[Variable]':='expression=Expression';' ;

Function:
   'FUNCTION' name=ID
   vars += Variable*
   instructions+=Instruction*
   output=[Function]':='expression=Expression';' ;

Variable: name=ID ';';
Expression: value=INT | var=[Variable];

DSL:

FUNCTION a
  b;
  c;
  b := 1;
  c := b;
  a := c;

I solve with option

backtrack=true

UPDATE:
Problem comes out also in this situation:

RealValue:
INT '.' INT;

Array:
name=ID 'ARRAY' '[' initial=INT '..' final=INT ']' ';';

When, in my DSL, I try to write something like this:

v ARRAY [1..10];

I'll receive an error: after the '.' it wants an INT.

Very thank you!

backtrack=true

is strongly discouraged. It suspends all those warnings, so you have no idea, something else is broken too.
Besides that, you have no control, which way the parse will take ignoring the warning. Consider using syntactic predicated '=>' instead.

Very thank you for suggest, I was able to disable the backtrack. For the moment it works fine.

Now I'm going to finish the grammar,
thanks!

Ciao Tommaso

as they already told you, stay away from backtrack=true :)

you can find an example expression language here

http://xsemantics.sourceforge.net/xsemantics-documentation/Expressions-example.html#Expressions

hope this helps

Yes, I was able to rewrite the grammar unambiguous.
backtrack=true is just a memory Confused

Thanks for replies!
