I’ve started two new tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(1) I’m adding a Rust parser to AntlrVSIX. The grammar I’m using is an old grammar from Jason Orendorff<\/a>. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been updated for several years. Also, it looks like it isn’t correct because there are cases where tokens are not correctly defined, e.g., ‘>’ ‘=’ instead of ‘>=’. It’s incorrect because the parser would allow a space between the ‘>’ and ‘=’ in the input, which is probably not intended. I’m first updating the grammar by separating the parser and lexer grammars, then I’ll add in rules recognized by another grammar<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (2) I’m really disappointed in the fact that no one seems to have written a general wrapper for command-line tools for Msbuild. I wrote a wrapper for the Antlr Java tool, but I’ve noticed that I’m going to have to write yet again another wrapper for Rust’s tools. I now realize that all of these wrappers can be generalized into a single wrapper with a specification of inputs and outputs. When I’m finished with the Rust grammar, I plan to write this tool, and rewrite the Antlr Java wrapper with it. It is no wonder why it seems everyone is using Visual Studio Code. I would too, but it’s written is the most awful of all languages, Javascript.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve started two new tasks. (1) I’m adding a Rust parser to AntlrVSIX.
