/** ANSI C ANTLR v3 grammar Translated from Jutta Degener's 1995 ANSI C yacc grammar by Terence Parr July 2006. The lexical rules were taken from the Java grammar. Jutta says: "In 1985, Jeff Lee published his Yacc grammar (which is accompanied by a matching Lex specification) for the April 30, 1985 draft version of the ANSI C standard. Tom Stockfisch reposted it to net.sources in 1987; that original, as mentioned in the answer to question 17.25 of the comp.lang.c FAQ, can be ftp'ed from ftp.uu.net, file usenet/net.sources/ansi.c.grammar.Z. I intend to keep this version as close to the current C Standard grammar as possible; please let me know if you discover discrepancies. Jutta Degener, 1995" Generally speaking, you need symbol table info to parse C; typedefs define types and then IDENTIFIERS are either types or plain IDs. I'm doing the min necessary here tracking only type names. This is a good example of the global scope (called Symbols). Every rule that declares its usage of Symbols pushes a new copy on the stack effectively creating a new symbol scope. Also note rule declaration declares a rule scope that lets any invoked rule see isTypedef boolean. It's much easier than passing that info down as parameters. Very clean. Rule direct_declarator can then easily determine whether the IDENTIFIER should be declared as a type name. I have only tested this on a single file, though it is 3500 lines. This grammar requires ANTLR v3.0.1 or higher.
