Question

I have a BoardFile.g4 grammar file that has (only relevant parts):

grammar Board;

//Tokens
GADGET : 'squareBumper' | 'circleBumper' | 'triangleBumper' | 'leftFlipper' | 'rightFlipper' | 'absorber' | 'portal' ;
NAME : [A-Za-z_][A-Za-z_0-9]* ;
INT : [0-9]+ ;
FLOAT : '-'?[0-9]+('.'[0-9]+)? ;
COMMENT : '#' ~( '\r' | '\n' )*;
WHITESPACE : [ \t\r\n]+ -> skip ;
KEY : [a-z] | [0-9] | 'shift' | 'ctrl' | 'alt' | 'meta' | 'space' | 'left' | 'right' | 'up' | 'down' | 'minus' | 'equals' | 'backspace' | 'openbracket' | 'closebracket' | 'backslash' | 'semicolon' | 'quote' | 'enter' | 'comma' | 'period' | 'slash' ;
KEYPRESS : 'keyup' | 'keydown' ;

//Rules
file : define+ EOF ;
define : board | ball | gadget | fire | COMMENT | key ;
board : 'board' 'name' '=' name ('gravity' '=' gravity)? ('friction1' '=' friction1)? ('friction2' '=' friction2)? ;
ball : 'ball' 'name' '=' name 'x' '=' xfloat 'y' '=' yfloat 'xVelocity' '=' xvel 'yVelocity' '=' yvel ;
gadget : gadgettype 'name' '=' name 'x' '=' xint 'y' '=' yint ('width' '=' width 'height' '=' height)? ('orientation' '=' orientation)? ('otherBoard' '=' name 'otherPortal' '=' name)? ;
fire : 'fire' 'trigger' '=' trigger 'action' '=' action ;
key : keytype 'key' '=' KEY 'action' '=' name ;

name : NAME ;
gadgettype : GADGET ;
keytype : KEYPRESS ;
gravity : FLOAT ;
friction1 : FLOAT ;
friction2 : FLOAT ;
trigger : NAME ;
action : NAME ;
yfloat : FLOAT ;
xfloat : FLOAT ;
yint : INT ;
xint : INT ;
xvel : FLOAT ;
yvel : FLOAT ;
orientation : INT ;
width : INT ;
height : INT ;

This generates a lexer and parser. However, when I use it with respect to the following file, it gives the following error:

line 12:0 extraneous input 'keyup' expecting {<EOF>, KEYPRESS}

File for analysis:

panel name = keys Board gravity = 5.0 friction1 = 0.0 friction2 = 0.0

# define a ball
ball name=Ball x=0.5 y=0.5 xVelocity=2.5 yVelocity=2.5

# add some flippers
leftFlipper name=FlipL1 x=16 y=2 orientation=0
leftFlipper name=FlipL2 x=16 y=9 orientation=0

# add keys. lots of keys.
keyup key=space action=apple
keydown key=a action=ball
keyup key=backslash action=cat
keydown key=period action=dog

I looked at other questions about this error in SO, but no one helped me. I can’t understand what is going wrong. Why am I getting this error?

Answer 1

A string is "keyup"designated as a token NAME: this is a problem.

, . KEYPRESS, "" , , :

• ,
• , , , .

:

NAME : [A-Za-z_][A-Za-z_0-9]* ;

INT : [0-9]+ ;

KEY : [a-z] | [0-9] | 'shift' | 'ctrl' | 'alt' | 'meta' | 'space' | 'left' | 'right' | 'up' | 'down' | 'minus' | 'equals' | 'backspace' | 'openbracket' | 'closebracket' | 'backslash' | 'semicolon' | 'quote' | 'enter' | 'comma' | 'period' | 'slash' ;

KEYPRESS : 'keyup' | 'keydown' ;

a NAME KEY, KEYPRESS .

INT KEY, , , KEY KEYPRESS.

NAME INT KEY KEYPRESS, , , .

:

KEY : [a-z] | 'shift' | 'ctrl' | 'alt' | 'meta' | 'space' | 'left' | 'right' | 'up' | 'down' | 'minus' | 'equals' | 'backspace' | 'openbracket' | 'closebracket' | 'backslash' | 'semicolon' | 'quote' | 'enter' | 'comma' | 'period' | 'slash' ;

KEYPRESS : 'keyup' | 'keydown' ;

NAME : [A-Za-z_][A-Za-z_0-9]* ;

SINGLE_DIGIT : [0-9] ;

INT : [0-9]+ ;

.. [0-9] KEY SINGLE_DIGIT ( INT!).

:

integer : INT | SINGLE_DIGIT ;

key : KEY | SINGLE_DIGIT ;

INT integer ( INT: ) KEY KEY.

- NAME [a-z] KEY (.. char NAME, KEY).
