Hi, all,
In my simple grammar (see the code below), I want to reference attributes of some entities, e.g., the age of a people. But when I use the grammar, an error occurs as below:
Couldn't resolve reference to Attribute 'age'.
My grammar is below:
Model:
entity += Entity+
expr += Expr*
;
Entity: 'entity' name=ID '{' attrs+=Attribute* '}';
Attribute: Type name=ID;
Expr: ref=[Attribute];
Type: 'int' | 'string';
and the instance is below:
entity People {
int age
}
age
What is the problem?
Thanks.
Robin

From outside the Entity, the age attribute has to be referred to with
the fully qualified name, i.e. 'People.age'. Unfortunately, you specify
the cross-reference as being
[Attribute]
which is equivalent to
[Attribute|ID]
and the ID rule does not allow to the separator char '.'
