Hi,

is there a way to use negative values with the builtin terminal rule 'INT'? It only seems to accept numbers without a leading minus.

I can build something like this:
SignedInt:
	sign=('-')? value=INT
;

But this does not behave very intuitively in ContentAssist, and the sign has to be parsed manually.

So, is there a better way to do that?

Hi,

this is what datatype rules are for.

SignedInt returns ecore::EInt: '-'? INT;

look at the Terminals grammar as you will have to import the Ecore for referencing the return type.

That works fine. Thank you.

To get the contentAssist to propose something one needs to add this to ProposalProvider:
	public void complete_SignedInt(EObject model, RuleCall ruleCall, ContentAssistContext context, ICompletionProposalAcceptor acceptor) {
		complete_INT(model, ruleCall, context, acceptor);
	}
