The only (minor) problem I had was that GNU make (version 3.71, in the +djgpp port) complained about "multiple targets" in both the antlr and dlg +makefiles. I got around the error by, in each makefile, commenting out the +$(SRC) dependency, for example: + + antlr: $(OBJ) #$(SRC) + +I don't know why this is happenning, since you haven't changed that part of +the makefile at all, and I think this used to work ok... + +Here are the makefiles I built from within the MSVC 2.0 environment for antlr +and dlg and Windows NT console executables. Please feel free to pass them +on. Of course, as soon as 1.31 "goes gold", I will send you nice new +binaries. I'm not going to bother to keep doing both Borland and djgpp for +DOS however. Instead, I'll just keep the djgpp version up to date and also +provide WinNT binaries. + +Dave +=============================================================================== + + How to port PCCTS 1.10 (and 1.32 hopefully) to Visual C++ + + By + + John Hall <jhall@ivy.wpi.edu> + +Here is how to compile an ANTLR grammar in Visual C++. These steps +describe how to have your ANTLR grammar parse the input file the user +selects when they choose File Open in your Windows application. (Even +if you aren't using Visual C++, the steps should be portable enough to +other compilers.) + + * Make sure that ANTLR and DLG generate ANSI code (use the -ga + switch). + + * Set the following compiler flags in Visual C++ (these are in the + Memory Model category of the compiler options in the Project + Options menu): + + FLAG MEANING + ==== ============================================================== + /AL Large memory model (multiple data segments; data items must be + smaller than 64K). + + /Gtn Allocates all items whose size is greater than or equal to n + in a new data segment. (I let n be 256: /Gt256.) + + /Gx- All references to data items are done with far addressing in + case they are placed in a far segment. + + * Add the following member variable to the attributes section of your + derived CDocument class (you will need to make sure you also + include stdio.h): + + FILE *fp; + + * Add the following method to your derived CDocument class: + + BOOL CAppDoc::OnOpenDocument(const char* pszPathName) + { + // Call CDocument's OnOpenDocument to do housekeeping for us + // DON'T add anything to the loading section of Serialize + if (!CDocument::OnOpenDocument(pszPathName)) + return FALSE; + + // Open input file + if ((fp = fopen(pszPathName, "r")) == NULL) + return FALSE; + + // Parse input file + ANTLR(start(), fp); + + // Close input file + fclose(fp); + return TRUE; + } + + (Note: additional code may be necessary, depending on your parser. + For example, if your parser uses PCCTS's symbol table library, you + will need to insert calls to zzs_init and zzs_done.) + + * Compile the generated C files as C++ files. (I renamed the files + to have a .CPP extension to fool Visual C++ into thinking they were + C++ files. One might also use the /Tp switch, but that switch + requires you separately include the filename.) [I used this step + as an easy out for all the external linking errors I was getting + that I couldn't fix by declaring things extern "C".] + + * Make sure the __STDC__ portion of the generated files gets + compiled. (Either define __STDC__ yourself or else change all + occurrences of __STDC__ to __cplusplus in the generated files. You + can define __STDC__ in the Preprocessor category of the compiler + options.) + + ================================================================ + = Note 23-Sep-97: This is probably not necessary any more. = + = With 1.33MRxxx the use of __STDC__ was replaced with the = + = macro __USE_PROTOS to control the compilation of prototypes. = + ================================================================ + +That last step is important for Visual C++, but may not apply to other +compilers. For C++ compilers, whether __STDC__ is defined is +implementation dependent (ARM, page 379). Apparently, Visual C++ does +not to define it; it also does not support "old style" C function +definitions (which is okay, according to page 404 of the ARM). Those +two things together caused problems when trying to port the code. +When it saw this: + +#ifdef __STDC__ +void +globals(AST **_root) +#else +globals(_root) +AST **_root; +#endif + +it skipped the __STDC__ section and tried to process the "old style" +function definition, where it choked. + +When you finally get your parser to compile and link without error, +you may get General Protection Fault errors at run time. The problem +I had was that a NULL was passed to a variable argument function +without an explicit cast. The function grabbed a pointer (32-bits) +off the stack using va_arg, but the NULL was passed silently as the +integer 0 (16 bits), making the resulting pointer was invalid. (This +was in PCCTS's sample C parser.) + +There is one other thing I might suggest to help you avoid a run-time +error. Make sure you redefine the default error reporting function, +zzsyn. To do this, put "#define USER_ZZSYN" in your #header section +and put your own zzsyn somewhere. You can then pop up a MessageBox or +print the error to some output window. +=============================================================================== |
