RE : RE : problem with lexer.dat

[Pascal AUDANT <paco@orbitek.com>]

I just though of something,
I use JBuilder from Borland as a development environment...
Can it affect sablecc and prevent it from correctly reading the
lexer.dat file ?

Thanx for the previous answer even though I haven't tried it yet :)

Pascal,

The Lexer and Parser classes expect the lexer.dat and parser.dat files
to be respectively in the same directory as the Lexer.class and
Parser.class files (be it on the file system, or in a .jar file).

So, assuming your grammar is in the directory c:\mygrammar, you
would do as follows:

...> C:
C:\...> cd \mygrammar
C:\mygrammar> java -jar ...[path-to-jar]...\sablecc.jar
littlegrammar.sablecc
...
[sablecc output]
...
C:\mygrammar> edit Main.java
...[create the Main class of your little compiler]...
C:\mygrammar> javac Main.java
...
C:\mygrammar> edit sampleinput.txt
...[create some input file to test your compiler]...
C:\mygrammar> java Main sampleinput.txt


This should work without complaining about missing or corrupted .dat
files.
(In my experience, I have not heard of corrupted .dat files other than
though bad usage of source-control systems like CVS [if you forget to
disable
keywords/end-of-line conversion]).

If this works, then look for the .dat files in the subdorectories.  If
you
package your compiler, you put leave these files in the same *relative*
pathes, otherwise the lexer & parser classes won't find them.

Have fun!
