public Class CTarget

Overrides org.antlr.codegen.Target.getTargetCharLiteralFromANTLRCharLiteral.

Doc from org.antlr.codegen.Target.getTargetCharLiteralFromANTLRCharLiteral.

Convert from an ANTLR char literal found in a grammar file to an equivalent char literal in the target language. For most languages, this means leaving 'x' as 'x'. Actually, we need to escape ' ' so that it doesn't get converted to \n by the compiler. Convert the literal to the char value and then to an appropriate target char literal. Expect single quotes around the incoming literal.

Overrides org.antlr.codegen.Target.getTargetStringLiteralFromANTLRStringLiteral.

Convert from an ANTLR string literal found in a grammar file to an equivalent string literal in the C target. Because we must support Unicode character sets and have chosen to have the lexer match UTF32 characters, then we must encode string matches to use 32 bit character arrays. Here then we must produce the C array and cater for the case where the lexer has been encoded with a string such as 'xyz\n',

Overrides org.antlr.codegen.Target.isValidActionScope.

Is scope in @scope::name {action} valid for this kind of grammar? Targets like C++ may want to allow new scopes like headerfile or some such. The action names themselves are not policed at the moment so targets can add template actions w/o having to recompile ANTLR.
