For the ChangeLog with timeline, see https://sourceforge.net/projects/antlr-mode/files/ The following is the ChangeLog between v2.2c to v3.2.0 without (intermediate) version numbers and changes already in the Emacs repository. * antlr-mode.el: Command `antlr-run-tool' now runs on the file for the current buffer by default. (antlr-run-tool-on-buffer-file): New user option. (antlr-run-tool-interactive): Use it. * antlr-mode.el: Allow `antlr-tool-version' and `antlr-language' be set in the Local Variables section of a file.

(antlr-font-lock-keywords): Correctly call `font-lock-value-in-major-mode'. * antlr-mode.el: Miscellaneous corrections and other changes. (antlr-insert-keyword-rule): Make it work in v2 and v4, too. (antlr-indent-line): Correctly calculate beginning of action. (antlr-grammar-header-regexp): Has a value which is valid for v3 and v4. (antlr-v4-grammar-header-regexp, antlr-v3-grammar-header-regexp): Delete. (antlr-tool-version-variables): tool-dependent variable for `antlr-grammar-header-regexp`' is optional. (antlr-upcase-p): Delete XEmacs bug workaround. * antlr-mode.el: Enhance options, add v4 language "Cpp". (antlr-v4-language-list): Add "Cpp". (antlr-v4-options-alists, antlr-v3-options-alists) (antlr-v2-options-alists): Do not hard-code languages. (antlr-read-language): New function used instead. (antlr-v4-options-alists): Add grammar option "contextSuperClass" and Cpp-only "exportMacro". (antlr-insert-option-do): Call the "right" antlr-mode for v4 grammars. (antlr-option-spec): Delete function. (antlr-insert-option-do): Do not use it. * antlr-mode.el: Correct command `antlr-insert-options'. (antlr-try-rule-or-grammar-option): New function. (antlr-option-level): Use it, correcting v3 and v4 behavior. (antlr-v2-options-alists): Correct "language" option. (antlr-syntactic-grammar-depth): Correct calculation (antlr-options-style): Make it really obsolete. (antlr-read-value): Do not use it. * antlr-mode.el: Disable command `antlr-show-makefile-rules' for ANTLR v3 and v4, these have "-depend" to show Makefile deps.

(antlr-tool-version): Is a symbol now, default to nil = automatic. For backward compatibility, numbers between 20000 and 29999 are set to antlr-v2 in antlr-set-tool-version-and-mode-line. This variable should not be customized anymore - change :type spec. (antlr-tool-version-variables, antlr-tool-mode-name) (antlr-v4-tool-mode-name, antlr-v3-tool-mode-name) (antlr-v2-tool-mode-name, antlr-language-list) (antlr-v4-language-list, antlr-v3-language-list) (antlr-v2-language-list, antlr-syntax-propertize) (antlr-v4-syntax-propertize, antlr-v3-syntax-propertize) (antlr-v2-syntax-propertize, antlr-v2-options-alist) (antlr-v4-skip-line-regexp, antlr-v3-skip-line-regexp) (antlr-font-lock-symbol-regexp) (antlr-v4-font-lock-symbol-regexp) (antlr-v3-font-lock-symbol-regexp) (antlr-v4-grammar-header-regexp, antlr-v3-grammar-header-regexp) New variables.

(antlr-search-forward, antlr-search-backward): Use it. Add extra regexp parameter for occurrences which should be skipped. (antlr-imenu-create-index-function, antlr-next-rule) (antlr-beginning-of-rule, antlr-indent-line): Provide `antlr-skip-line-regexp' when searching for ";". (antlr-rule-postlude-skip-alist): Make it a `defconst', re-compilation would use previous value. Add "import". (antlr-skip-rule-postlude): Allow function as SKIP. (antlr-skip-import-statement): New function for postlude skip. * antlr-mode.el: Correctly recognize ANTLR v4 lexer charsets, [...], and v3 templates, <<...>>, as literals.

If non-nil, both `antlr-end-of-rule' and `antlr-end-of-rule' jump to beginning of a rule with no or positive prefix arg, and to the end of a rule with negative prefix arg. Default nil means: `antlr-end-of-rule' jumps to beginning of a rule, `antlr-end-of-rule' jumps to end of a rule. (antlr-end-of-rule): Use it.

(antlr-class-header-regexp): New function. (antlr-imenu-create-index-function): Also collect v4 scanner modes. Correctly scan fragment rules. * antlr-mode.el: Correctly skip the part of the rule which comes after the semicolon. To simplify things, consider v2 class preamble actions as belonging to the previous definition. (antlr-skip-file-prelude): Skip final ACTION.

(antlr-beginning-of-body): Tool version-dependent error message. (antlr-options-alists): Consider v4 options. * antlr-mode.el (antlr-indent-line): For indentation cycling in Python, do not require a patched python.el anymore, but prog-mode.el and python.el from Emacs-24.5. Do not touch multi-line python actions which do not start in its own line - they are a bad idea anyway. * antlr-mode.el: Experimental indentation cycling for Python actions. Requires a patched python.el. Note: this patch is just a first proposal by me - things will change. (antlr-indent-line): Bind `python-submode-indentation-context' while calling `python-indent-line'. * antlr-mode.el: Use much less intrusive face settings, some minor font-lock changes.

(antlr-font-lock-additional-keywords): Change highlighting according to ANTLR change concerning grammar element labels, ANTLR v3/v4 only. Use `font-lock-negation-char-face' for ~, single dot. * antlr-mode.el: Be more robust / fix bug introduced with v3.0.5 - class definitions in ANTLR v2 grammars would look strange, makefile dependencies would not work even with ANTLR v2 grammars. (antlr-class-header-regexp): Revert accidentally change in regexp. (antlr-insert-makefile-rules): Be more robust against incomplete grammar files, i.e. those without any extracted dependency. * antlr-mode.el: Indentation for non-cc-based languages: JavaScript, Delphi, Ruby - Python actions are left as they are. (antlr-indent-line): For a line starting with the closing brace of bracket of an action / parameter section, use our own indentation engine, not that of the grammar language. (antlr-indent-line): Run indentation functions of `js-mode', `opascal-mode' and `ruby-mode' with buffer restriction starts after the opening brace/bracket. (antlr-indent-command): Preparation for future support for indentation cycling used by Python - do not insert a TAB with repeated call of this command. (antlr-set-tool-version-and-mode-line): Locally set indentation offsets/levels of grammar language according to offset used in the ANTLR grammar. * antlr-mode.el: Correct indentation of rule headers. (antlr-indent-line): When looking for the end of a rule header, do not stop at colon if that is followed by another one, because this the scope name of a preceeding grammar action. * antlr-mode.el: Support more action languages. (antlr-language-alist): Add entries for C, Delphi, JavaScript, ObjC, Python and Ruby, additional to Java and Cpp. (antlr-language-limit-n-regexp): Allow language name to contain digits. (antlr-font-lock-keywords-alist): Add font-lock specifications for the newly supported languages. (antlr-set-tool-version-and-mode-line): Handle non-cc-based languages, currently hard-coded. * antlr-mode.el: Preparation for non-cc-mode-based indentation. (antlr-indent-line): With non-cc-based languages, do not touch lines in braces and brackets, i.e. mainly actions. * antlr-mode.el: Bug fixes and minor changes. (antlr-indent-line): Introduced 3.0.4: lines starting with a colon would be incorrectly indented. (antlr-tool-version): v3 grammars with a class definition in a header action or containing a rule called "header" or "class" would be incorrectly categorized as v2 grammar. (antlr-set-tool-version-and-mode-line, antlr-mode): Set `indent-line-function' and friends after initializing cc-mode. (antlr-java-action-names): Renamed from `antlr-action-names', only include action names used with language Java. (antlr-font-lock-late-keywords): Check action names only in Java. * antlr-mode.el: Preparation for v3/v4 options support. (antlr-v3-options-alists): New variable. (antlr-options-alists): New function. (antlr-insert-option-interactive, antlr-options-menu-filter) (antlr-insert-option-do): Use it.

(antlr-syntactic-context): Bind `parse-sexp-ignore-comments' to t, parentheses inside comments would bring Emacs out of sync. (antlr-base-offset-alist): New user option. (antlr-indent-line): Use it. * antlr-mode.el: Delay language recognition and tab settings. (antlr-tool-version): Correctly recognize v2 grammars without header{...}. (antlr-set-tool-version-and-mode-line): Set language here. (antlr-mode): Do not set language here. * antlr-mode.el: Bug fixes. (antlr-language-limit-n-regexp): Also recognize 'LANG'. (antlr-imenu-create-index-function): in ANTLR v2 grammars, `which-function-mode' would not work, classes would not appear. (antlr-font-lock-checked-face): action names would not be highlighted, the doc string was inserted at the wrong place... * antlr-mode.el: Use "Antlr2"/"Antlr3"/"Antlr4" in mode line. (antlr-tool-version): Set default value to nil = automatic. (antlr-tool-version): New function. (antlr-set-tool-version-and-mode-line): New function. (antlr-after-body-hook): New variable. (antlr-mode): Run it as mode hook. (antlr-v4-mode): Do not update mode line anymore. * antlr-mode.el: Minor font-lock changes. (antlr-font-lock-literal-regexp): Also match strings surrounded by single quotes, and symbols and punctuation. (antlr-font-lock-late-keywords): Highlight regexp group 2 of that. * antlr-mode.el: Preparation for further v3 and v4 support. (antlr-v4-mode): New major mode for file suffix "g4". * antlr-mode.el: Adopt imenu and navigation to ANTLR v3 and v4. (antlr-imenu-create-index-function): Recognize fragment specification and named actions. (antlr-skip-exception-part): With v3 and v4, there is no 'exception' keyword, but an additional optional 'finally'. * antlr-mode.el: Adopt font-lock to ANTLR v3 and v4. (antlr-grammardef, antlr-attribute): New faces. (antlr-action-names, antlr-action-scope-names): New variables (antlr-font-lock-late-keywords): Recognize new elements. (antlr-font-lock-additional-keywords): Changed font-lock for $attr constructs. * antlr-mode.el: Newer cc-mode fontification is very eager, i.e. would overwrite that of antlr-mode. (antlr-font-lock-late-keywords): New variable, also using OVERRIDE in MATCH-HIGHLIGHT. (antlr-font-lock-keywords): Add at end of keywords. (antlr-font-lock-additional-keywords): Delete keywords here. * antlr-mode.el: Checked ANTLR up to latest v2. (antlr-tool-version): Set for ANTLR v2.7.7. (antlr-options-alists): Added options introduced with ANTLR v2.7.2, "classHeaderPrefix" and "noConstructors". * antlr-mode.el: redisplay during font-lock could signal "c-where-wrt-brace-construct: c-beginning-of-decl-1 returned label". (antlr-font-lock-defaults): Do not set `beginning-of-defun'. * antlr-mode.el: Delete support for old cc-mode versions. (antlr-c-init-language-vars): Delete function. (antlr-mode): Do not call it anymore. (antlr-mode-syntax-table): Adopt docstring to changed init. * antlr-mode.el: imenu creation could signal "c-where-wrt-brace-construct: c-beginning-of-decl-1 returned label". (antlr-slow-cache-diff-threshold): Delete variable. (antlr-syntactic-context): Do not use it here, do not call `beginning-of-defun' anymore. (antlr-mode): Allow /// etc as `comment-start-skip'. Still set `require-final-newline'. * antlr-mode.el (antlr-electric-character): With Emacs, use `last-command-event' instead `last-command-char'. * antlr-mode.el: imenu creation could signal "c-where-wrt-brace-construct: c-beginning-of-decl-1 returned label". (antlr-slow-cache-diff-threshold): Deletia. (antlr-syntactic-context): Do not use it here, do not call `beginning-of-defun' anymore. |

See the end of the file for license conditions.
This directory tree holds version 31.0.50 of GNU Emacs, the extensible,
customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor.
The file INSTALL in this directory says how to build and install GNU
Emacs on various systems, once you have unpacked or checked out the
entire Emacs file tree.
See the file etc/NEWS for information on new features and other
user-visible changes in recent versions of Emacs.
The file etc/PROBLEMS contains information on many common problems that
occur in building, installing and running Emacs.
The file CONTRIBUTE contains information on contributing to Emacs as a
developer.
You may encounter bugs in this release. If you do, please report
them; your bug reports are valuable contributions to the FSF, since
they allow us to notice and fix problems on machines we don't have, or
in code we don't use often. Please send bug reports to the mailing
list bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org. If possible, use M-x report-emacs-bug.
See the "Bugs" section of the Emacs manual for more information on how
to report bugs. (The file 'BUGS' in this directory explains how you
can find and read that section using the Info files that come with
Emacs.) For a list of mailing lists related to Emacs, see
<https://savannah.gnu.org/mail/?group=emacs>. For the complete
list of GNU mailing lists, see <https://lists.gnu.org/>.
The 'etc' subdirectory contains several other files, named in capital
letters, which you might consider looking at when installing GNU
Emacs.
The file 'configure' is a shell script to acclimate Emacs to the
oddities of your processor and operating system. It creates the file
'Makefile' (a script for the 'make' program), which automates the
process of building and installing Emacs. See INSTALL for more
detailed information.
The file 'configure.ac' is the input used by the autoconf program to
construct the 'configure' script.
The shell script 'autogen.sh' generates 'configure' and other files by
running Autoconf (which in turn uses GNU m4), and configures files in
the .git subdirectory if you are using Git. If you want to use it,
you will need to install recent versions of these build tools. This
should be needed only if you edit files like 'configure.ac' that
specify Emacs's autobuild procedure.
The file 'Makefile.in' is a template used by 'configure' to create
'Makefile'.
The file 'make-dist' is a shell script to build a distribution tar
file from the current Emacs tree, containing only those files
appropriate for distribution. If you make extensive changes to Emacs,
this script will help you distribute your version to others.
There are several subdirectories:
'src' holds the C code for Emacs (the Emacs Lisp interpreter and
its primitives, the redisplay code, and some basic editing
functions).
'lisp' holds the Emacs Lisp code for Emacs (most everything else).
'leim' holds the original source files for the generated files
in lisp/leim. These form the library of Emacs input methods,
required to type international characters that can't be
