kandi X-RAY | AntlrVSIX Summary

AntlrVSIX is a C# library typically used in Plugin, Visual Studio Code applications. AntlrVSIX has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

AntlrVSIX is a tool to support editing, analysis, refactoring, and conversion of context-free grammars, including Antlr, Bison, ISO 14977, LBNF, and W3C EBNF. It contains extensions for Visual Studio 2019, Visual Studio Code, Gnu Emacs, a Language Server Protocol (LSP) server, and a stand-alone command-line tool known as Trash. Trash is analogous to Bash but for parsing, in the lingua-franca of parsing: parse trees and XPath. All clients use the LSP server implemented in this repository. The clients each are implemented elsewhere, but a thin shim is provided in this repository to get the client to work with the server. For Visual Studio 2019, the client is implemented using Microsoft's client. The server is implemented using Antlr, Antlr4BuildTasks, XPath2, S-expressions for Antlr parse trees, and a number of other tools. Most of the code is implemented in C#. The extension for VS Code is written in Typescript. Supported are colorized tagging, hover, go to def, find all refs, replace, and reformat. Beyond the basic LSP commands, the tool supports analysis, refactoring, and conversion. NB: Antlrvsix for Visual Studio 2019 v8.3 will not offer semantic highlighting by default because the MS LSP client in VS2019 does not support semantic highlighting. In fact, it is 3 years behind the protocol. In order to support it for VSCode, I had to rewrite the entire language server protocol library (replacement here)--in a week--in order to bring it up to date. MS is too slow. If you want semantic highlighting, you can turn on the feature in the Antlrvsix options. Or, better, you could edit your grammar file using VSCode with Antlrvsix-vscode or Mike's vscode-antlr extension for VSCode. This problem will be addressed in release v8.4 or v9.0.

ANTLR4 runtime problem in visual studio 2019

QUESTION

ANTLR4 runtime problem in visual studio 2019

Asked 2020-Aug-24 at 07:30

I'm trying to get antlr working in VS. I’ve not touched VS for a very long time. I've added the AntlrVSIX extension per the Antlr online docs, this created a sample calculator project for me but I can't compile it (I uninstalled and reinstalled AntlrVSIX but it made no difference to the following problem).

VS complains “The type or namespace name 'Antlr4' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)” and points to the line “using Antlr4.Runtime.Misc;” (and lots more similar).

If I look in menu Tools:NuGet Package Manager:Manage NuGetPackages for Solution… it clearly shows Antlr4.Runtime.Standard present and installed (showing version 4.8.0).

I guess I have to add a reference to this dll to my project so I I right click on References:Add Reference... in Solutions Explorer but I can’t find it in any list, however I search.

There is a Browse button which I assume I could use to link to the DLL directly, so I’ve searched the disk, found the dll and linked to that. This now works in that all those errors go away, but this can’t possibly be the right way.

So how do you add a reference to it properly, using References:Add Reference...? VS knows it’s there, it displays it, but doesn’t let it be referenced like that because it won’t show it within VS via References:Add Reference...

...

On your specific question, yes, you don't want to add a reference to the dll. Instead, you need to add a "" in the csproj for these dependencies. All this lives in Nuget.org. So, in VS2019, right click on a project in the Solution Manager, then look for "Manage Nuget packages" to add Antlr4BuildTasks and Antlr4.Runtime.Standard.

Note, I've been updating the Antlrvsix extension, but haven't made a release for 2 months, longer than my usual schedule, because the next version has a huge number of changes. I will be cutting version 8 in a week. The template in VS2019 was removed because it is old and out of date. It uses an ancient version of the Antlr4BuildTasks. Instead, use the Antlr4BuildTasks.Templates v8.1 to create a C# project from scratch. Please follow the directions here. You don't need to download the Antlr tool kit, Java, or set any environmental variables. You also don't even need to use VS2019. You only need Net Core 3.1 and to install Antlr4BuildTasks.Templates. Then, type "mkdir foo; cd foo; dotnet new antlr; dotnet restore; dotnet build; dotnet run" at a command-line shell to create a C# application with Antlr4. Once you create the application, you can modify that to what you need. If you start from a Net Standard or Net Core project that doesn't have Antlr yet, you will need to add in the project reference for Antlr4.Runtime.Standard 4.8 and Antlr4BuildTasks 8.1, add in all grammars, and driver to set up and call the parser--harder to do, but it can be done through VS, or you can edit the CSPROJ file more easily and faster. The Antlr4BuildTasks looks at your CSPROJ file and will see that Antlr4.Runtime.Standard 4.8 is referenced, then will use the correct version of the Antlr JAR file to generate the parser and lexer. Any questions, let me know.
