Missing token and extraneous input - antlr

I use Python3.g4 grammar from here and try to modify it. I want to add type hints, starting with 3 chars "#t ". They can be on separate line and after statements.
Added and modified rules:
simple_stmt
: small_stmt ( ';' small_stmt )* ';'? type_comment? NEWLINE
| type_comment NEWLINE
;
type_comment
: TYPE_COMMENT
;
TYPE_COMMENT
: '#' 't' ' ' ~[\r\n]*
;
Other relevant rules:
stmt
: simple_stmt
| compound_stmt
;
fragment COMMENT
: '#' ~[\r\n]*
;
compound_stmt
: if_stmt
| while_stmt
| for_stmt
| try_stmt
| with_stmt
| funcdef
| classdef
| decorated
;
while_stmt
: WHILE test ':' suite ( ELSE ':' suite )?
;
suite
: simple_stmt
| NEWLINE INDENT stmt+ DEDENT
;
With input
a = 1 #t int
#t int
#t str
s = "string"
I get following errors:
line 3:0 missing NEWLINE at '#t int'
line 5:0 extraneous input '#t str' expecting NEWLINE
When line
| type_comment NEWLINE
changed to
| type_comment
I receive other similar errors. What is the correct version of this grammar?

My guess would be that the #t ... gets matched by a rule defined before your TYPE_COMMENT. Try to define TYPE_COMMENT as the first lexer rule. If that doesn't help, please post your entire grammar.

Antlr4: Nested if-then-else in input requires a statement to parse correctly

I have simplified my grammar and am testing it in http://lab.antlr.org/. It works for
// if column not exists CURRENTSCHEMA.TABLE_EXISTS.NO_SUCH_COLUMN
// if column not exists CURRENTSCHEMA.TABLE_EXISTS.NO_SUCH_COLUMN
alter table TABLE_EXISTS add column (NO_SUCH_COLUMN decimal(5,4));
// end if
xyz; <-------- required! Why???
// end if
NOTE: there must be a NL char after the last // end if, else the parsing does not work at all. How to fix that is a separate question. When I add to the line comment a (NL | EOF) as termination sequence it complains about missing a NL.
but if I remove that xyz; (I call that a statement) then it does not. It looks as if each if-then-else must have at least one statement.
However I have defined a statement as either a text with semicolon or a line comment and a line comment with // if ... // end if is considered a directive.
With the xyz; the tree is the expected, a line comment of type directive with a statement which has another line comment with directive. Without the xyz is is a line comment with directive and within is a regular line comment and a statement.
statement :
trailing
| linecomment
| text* ';' (NL | WS)* ;
Can anybody spot my mistake? I have checked the ordering, the length of the tokens but obviously I am missing something essential or I am simply blind.
This is how it should look like, two nested directive nodes.

Handling blank lines when White Space is important in ANTLR4

This may be a newbee question, since I don't have a lot of ANTLR experience, but I've done a lot of research and troubleshooting and have not found a solution so resorting to asking. I am trying to write a parser for a very odd format file (PCGEN open source role playing game character editor) that I plan to use for several uses, not the least of which is learning ANTLR. I am to the point that I have everything I want working on the LEX and Parse, except that it stops parsing when it hits blank lines. I know I could add a line to throw away all whitespace, but the file format is such that strings are not really quoted, and white space is usually important, so the only white space that should be ignored is a totally blank line. When I run the Lexer it gives the tokens for the entire file, so I thought the Parser would process the tokens without concern for where they came from, so I am missing something simple. Here is the beggining of my input:
PCGVERSION:2.0
# System Information
CAMPAIGN:Advanced Player's Guide|CAMPAIGN:Ultimate Magic|CAMPAIGN:Ultimate Combat
VERSION:6.07.05
ROLLMETHOD:3|EXPRESSION:2d6+6
PURCHASEPOINTS:N
And this is my current grammar:
grammar PCG;
pcgFile : lines=line+;
line : statement (NEWLINE | EOF)
;
statement : KEYWORD ASSIGN
| KEYWORD ASSIGN YES_NO
| KEYWORD ASSIGN TEXT
| KEYWORD ASSIGN VERSIONNUM
| KEYWORD ( ASSIGN INT )+
| KEYWORD ASSIGN INT
| KEYWORD ASSIGN SUB_START statement SUB_END
| statement SEP statement
;
NEWLINE : '\r\n' | 'r' | '\n' ;
YES_NO : ('Y'|'N');
KEYWORD : [A-Z]+;
INT : [0-9]+;
TEXT : ~(':'|'|'|'\r'|'\n'|'['|']')+;
ASSIGN : ':';
SEP : '|';
COMMENT : '#' ~[\r\n]*->skip ;
VERSIONNUM : ([0-9]+ ('.' [0-9]+)?)
| ('.' [0-9]+)
| ([0-9]+ ('.' [0-9]+) ('.' [0-9]+)?)
;
ROLL : INT [dD] INT (('+'|'-') INT)?;
SUB_START : '[';
SUB_END : ']';
Any help would be appreciated.
You need to allow for more than 1 new line between statements. Do that by removing the rule and rewriting to this:
pcgFile : NEWLINE* statement ( NEWLINE+ statement )* NEWLINE* EOF;
The main problem is that your lexer matches # System Information as a TEXT token. Whenever 2 or more rules match the same amount of characters, the rule defined first will "win" *. So that's TEXT. When you place COMMENT before TEXT, it will work:
grammar PCG;
pcgFile : NEWLINE* statement ( NEWLINE+ statement )* NEWLINE* EOF;
statement : KEYWORD ASSIGN
| KEYWORD ASSIGN YES_NO
| KEYWORD ASSIGN TEXT
| KEYWORD ASSIGN VERSIONNUM
| KEYWORD ( ASSIGN INT )+
| KEYWORD ASSIGN INT
| KEYWORD ASSIGN SUB_START statement SUB_END
| statement SEP statement
;
NEWLINE : '\r\n' | 'r' | '\n' ;
YES_NO : ('Y'|'N');
KEYWORD : [A-Z]+;
INT : [0-9]+;
COMMENT : '#' ~[\r\n]* ->skip ;
TEXT : ~(':'|'|'|'\r'|'\n'|'['|']')+;
ASSIGN : ':';
SEP : '|';
VERSIONNUM : ([0-9]+ ('.' [0-9]+)?)
| ('.' [0-9]+)
| ([0-9]+ ('.' [0-9]+) ('.' [0-9]+)?)
;
ROLL : INT [dD] INT (('+'|'-') INT)?;
SUB_START : '[';
SUB_END : ']';
Keep in mind that ~(':'|'|'|'\r'|'\n'|'['|']')+ is dangerous: it could easily match a lot of characters.
* because the lexer works like this, input like 12 will never be tokenised as a VERSIONNUM token since INT matches this too an occurs before VERSIONNUM. Fix it by doing something like this:
statement : ...
| KEYWORD ASSIGN versionnum
| ...
;
versionnum : VERSIONNUM
| INT
;
...
INT : [0-9]+;
...
VERSIONNUM : [0-9]* '.' [0-9]+ ('.' [0-9]+)?
;

How to allow an identifer which can start with a digit without causing MismatchedTokenException

I want to match the following input:
statement span=1m 0_dur=12
with the following grammar:
options {
language = Java;
output=AST;
ASTLabelType=CommonTree;
}
statement :'statement' 'span' '=' INTEGER 'm' ident '=' INTEGER;
INTEGER
: DIGIT+
;
ident : IDENT | 'AVG' | 'COUNT';
IDENT
: (LETTER | DIGIT | '_')+ ;
WHITESPACE
: ( ' '
| '\t'
| '\r'
| '\n'
) {$channel=HIDDEN;}
;
fragment
LETTER : ('a'..'z' | 'A'..'Z') ;
fragment
DIGIT : '0'..'9';
but it cause an error:
MismatchedTokenException : line 1:15 mismatched input '1m' expecting '\u0004'
Does anyone has any idea how to solve this?
THanks

I think your grammar is context sensitive, even at the lexical analyser(Tokenizer) level. The string "1m" is recognized as IDENT, not INTEGER followed by 'm'. You either redefine your syntax, or use predicated parsing, or embed Java code in your grammar to detect the context (e.g. If the number is presented after "span" followed by "=", then parse it as INTEGER).

Why is this grammar giving me a "non LL(*) decision" error?

I am trying to add support for expressions in my grammar. I am following the example given by Scott Stanchfield's Antlr Tutorial. For some reason the add rule is causing an error. It is causing a non-LL(*) error saying, "Decision can match input such as "'+'..'-' IDENT" using multiple alternatives"
Simple input like:
a.b.c + 4
causes the error. I am using the AntlrWorks Interpreter to test my grammar as I go. There seems to be a problem with how the tree is built for the unary +/- and the add rule. I don't understand why there are two possible parses.
Here's the grammar:
path : (IDENT)('.'IDENT)* //(NAME | LCSTNAME)('.'(NAME | LCSTNAME))*
;
term : path
| '(' expression ')'
| NUMBER
;
negation
: '!'* term
;
unary : ('+' | '-')* negation
;
mult : unary (('*' | '/' | '%') unary)*
;
add : mult (( '+' | '-' ) mult)*
;
relation
: add (('==' | '!=' | '<' | '>' | '>=' | '<=') add)*
;
expression
: relation (('&&' | '||') relation)*
;
multiFunc
: IDENT expression+
;
NUMBER : DIGIT+ ('.'DIGIT+)?
;
IDENT : (LCLETTER|UCLETTER)(LCLETTER|UCLETTER|DIGIT|'_')*
;
COMMENT
: '//' ~('\n'|'\r')* '\r'? '\n' {$channel=HIDDEN;}
| '/*' ( options {greedy=false;} : . )* '*/' {$channel=HIDDEN;}
;
WS : (' ' | '\t' | '\r' | '\n' | '\f')+ {$channel = HIDDEN;}
;
fragment
LCLETTER
: 'a'..'z'
;
fragment
UCLETTER: 'A'..'Z'
;
fragment
DIGIT : '0'..'9'
;
I need an extra set of eyes. What am I missing?
The fact that you let one or more expressions match in:
multiFunc
: IDENT expression+
;
makes your grammar ambiguous. Let's say you're trying to match "a 1 - - 2" using the multiFunc rule. The parser now has 2 possible ways to parse this: a is matched by IDENT, but the 2 minus signs 1 - - 2 cause trouble for expression+. The following 2 parses are possible:
parse 1
parse 2
Your grammar in rule multiFunc has a list of expressions. An expression can begin with + or - on behalf of unary, thus due to the list, it can also be followed by the same tokens. This is in conflict with the add rule: there is a problem deciding between continuation and termination.

Parse sentences with different word types

I'm looking for a grammar for analyzing two type of sentences, that
means words separated by white spaces:
ID1: sentences with words not beginning with numbers
ID2: sentences with words not beginning with numbers and numbers
Basically, the structure of the grammar should look like
ID1 separator ID2
ID1: Word can contain number like Var1234 but not start with a number
ID2: Same as above but 1234 is allowed
separator: e. g. '='
#Bart
I just tried to add two tokens '_' and '"' as lexer-rule Special for later use in lexer-rule Word.
Even I haven't used Special in the following grammar, I get the following error in ANTLRWorks 1.4.2:
The following token definitions can never be matched because prior tokens match the same input: Special
But when I add fragment before Special, I don't get that error. Why?
grammar Sentence1b1;
tokens
{
TCUnderscore = '_' ;
TCQuote = '"' ;
}
assignment
: id1 '=' id2
;
id1
: Word+
;
id2
: ( Word | Int )+
;
Int
: Digit+
;
// A word must start with a letter
Word
: ( 'a'..'z' | 'A'..'Z') ('a'..'z' | 'A'..'Z' | Digit )*
;
Special
: ( TCUnderscore | TCQuote )
;
Space
: ( ' ' | '\t' | '\r' | '\n' ) { $channel = HIDDEN; }
;
fragment Digit
: '0'..'9'
;
Lexer-rule Special shall then be used in lexer-rule Word:
Word
: ( 'a'..'z' | 'A'..'Z' | Special ) ('a'..'z' | 'A'..'Z' | Special | Digit )*
;
I'd go for something like this:
grammar Sentence;
assignment
: id1 '=' id2
;
id1
: Word+
;
id2
: (Word | Int)+
;
Int
: Digit+
;
// A word must start with a letter
Word
: ('a'..'z' | 'A'..'Z') ('a'..'z' | 'A'..'Z' | Digit)*
;
Space
: (' ' | '\t' | '\r' | '\n') {skip();}
;
fragment Digit
: '0'..'9'
;
which will parse the input:
Word can contain number like Var1234 but not start with a number = Same as above but 1234 is allowed
as follows:
EDIT
To keep lexer rule nicely packed together, I'd keep them all at the bottom of the grammar instead of partly in the tokens { ... } block, which I only use for defining "imaginary tokens" (used in AST creation):
// wrong!
Special : (TCUnderscore | TCQuote);
TCUnderscore : '_';
TCQuote : '"';
Now, with the rules above, TCUnderscore and TCQuote can never become a token because when the lexer stumbles upon a _ or ", a Special token is created. Or in this case:
// wrong!
TCUnderscore : '_';
TCQuote : '"';
Special : (TCUnderscore | TCQuote);
the Special token can never be created because the lexer would first create TCUnderscore and TCQuote tokens. Hence the error:
The following token definitions can never be matched because prior tokens match the same input: ...
If you make TCUnderscore and TCQuote a fragment rule, you don't have that problem because fragment rules only "serve" other lexer rules. So this works:
// good!
Special : (TCUnderscore | TCQuote);
fragment TCUnderscore : '_';
fragment TCQuote : '"';
Also, fragment rules can therefor never be "visible" in any of your parser rules (the lexer will never create a TCUnderscore or TCQuote token!).
// wrong!
parse : TCUnderscore;
Special : (TCUnderscore | TCQuote);
fragment TCUnderscore : '_';
fragment TCQuote : '"';
I'm not sure if that fits your needs but with Bart's help in my post
ANTLR - identifier with whitespace
i came to this grammar:
grammar PropertyAssignment;
assignment
: id_nodigitstart '=' id_digitstart EOF
;
id_nodigitstart
: ID_NODIGITSTART+
;
id_digitstart
: (ID_DIGITSTART|ID_NODIGITSTART)+
;
ID_NODIGITSTART
: ('a'..'z'|'A'..'Z') ('a'..'z'|'A'..'Z'|'0'..'9')*
;
ID_DIGITSTART
: ('0'..'9'|'a'..'z'|'A'..'Z')+
;
WS : (' ')+ {skip();}
;
"a name = my 4value" works while "4a name = my 4value" causes an exception.
