Hi all,
Is prioritization of rules in Xtext possible?

I mean, say that I have a rule:

SomeRule:
(ID | Rule) ;

Rule:
"_"INT
;

So, here SomeRule allows either a ID or Rule. When I type in the editor I want this SomeRule to look first for "ID" and then for "Rule". Can I prioritize like this ?

Well, here Rule is also a part of ID as "_"INT is compatible with ID, but, situation for me is a little complex and I just wanted to know whether it can be done.


Thanks in advance Smile

Usually that is a usecase for semantic predicates, but they are on the
parser level and your example must resolve a lexer ambiguity.
