| The following changes (change numbers refer to perforce) were
 | ||
| made from version 3.1.1 to 3.1.2
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Runtime
 | ||
| -------
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5641 on 2009/02/20 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Release version 3.1.2 of the ANTLR C runtime.
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	Updated documents and release notes will have to follow later.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5639 on 2009/02/20 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Fixed: ANTLR-356
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	Ensure that code generation for C++ does not require casts
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5577 on 2009/02/12 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	C Runtime - Bug fixes.
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	 o Having moved to use an extract directly from a vector for returning 
 | ||
| 	   tokens, it exposed a
 | ||
| 	   bug whereby the EOF boudary calculation in tokLT was incorrectly 
 | ||
| 	   checking > rather than >=. 
 | ||
| 	 o Changing to API initialization of tokens rather than memcmp() 
 | ||
| 	   incorrectly forgot to set teh input stream pointer for the 
 | ||
| 	   manufactured tokens in the token factory;
 | ||
| 	 o Rewrite streams for rewriting tree parsers did not check whether the 
 | ||
| 	   rewrite stream was ever assigned before trying to free it, it is now 
 | ||
| 	   in line with the ordinary parser code.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5576 on 2009/02/11 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	C Runtime: Ensure that when we manufacture a new token for a missing 
 | ||
| 	token, that the user suplied custom information (if any) is copied 
 | ||
| 	from the current token.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5575 on 2009/02/08 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	C Runtime - Vastly improve the reuse of allocated memory for nodes in 
 | ||
| 	  tree rewriting.
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	A problem for all targets at the moment si that the rewrite logic 
 | ||
| 	generated by ANTLR makes no attempt
 | ||
| 	to reuse any resources, it merely gurantees that the tree shape at the 
 | ||
| 	end is correct. To some extent this is mitigated by the garbage 
 | ||
| 	collection systems of Java and .Net, even thoguh it is still an overhead to
 | ||
| 	keep creating so many modes.
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	This change implements the first of two C runtime changes that make 
 | ||
| 	best efforst to track when a node has become orphaned and will never 
 | ||
| 	be reused, based on inherent knowledge of the rewrite logic (which in
 | ||
| 	the long term is not a great soloution). 
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	Much of the rewrite logic consists of creating a niilnode into which 
 | ||
| 	child nodes are appended. At: rulePost processing time; when a rewrite 
 | ||
| 	stream is closed; and when becomeRoot is called, there are many situations
 | ||
| 	where the root of the tree that will be manipulted, or is finished with 
 | ||
| 	(in the case of rewrtie streams), where the nilNode was just a temporary 
 | ||
| 	creation for the sake of the rewrite itself. 
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	In these cases we can see that the nilNode would just be left ot rot in 
 | ||
| 	the node factory that tracks all the tree nodes.
 | ||
| 	Rather than leave these in the factory to rot, we now keep a resuse 
 | ||
| 	stck and always reuse any node on this
 | ||
| 	stack before claimin a new node from the factory pool.
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	This single change alone reduces memory usage in the test case (20,604 
 | ||
| 	line C program and a GNU C parser) 
 | ||
| 	from nearly a GB, to 276MB. This is still way more memory than we 
 | ||
| 	shoudl need to do this operation, even on such a large input file,
 | ||
| 	but the reduction results in a huge performance increase and greatly 
 | ||
| 	reduced system time spent on allocations.
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	After this optimizatoin, comparison with gcc yeilds:
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	time gcc -S a.c
 | ||
| 	a.c:1026: warning: conflicting types for built-in function ‘vsprintf’
 | ||
| 	a.c:1030: warning: conflicting types for built-in function ‘vsnprintf’
 | ||
| 	a.c:1041: warning: conflicting types for built-in function ‘vsscanf’
 | ||
| 	0.21user 0.01system 0:00.22elapsed 97%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
 | ||
| 	0inputs+240outputs (0major+8345minor)pagefaults 0swaps
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	and

| 	Reading a.c

| 	0.28user 0.11system 0:00.39elapsed 98%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
 | ||
| 	0inputs+0outputs (0major+66609minor)pagefaults 0swaps
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	And we can now interpolate the fact that the only major differnce is 
 | ||
| 	now the huge disparity in memory allocations. A
 | ||
| 	future optimization of vector pooling, to sepate node resue from vector 
 | ||
| 	reuse, currently looks promising for further reuse of memory.
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	Finally, a static analysis of the rewrte code, plus a realtime analysis 
 | ||
| 	of the heap at runtime, may well give us a reasonable memory usage 
 | ||
| 	pattern. In reality though, it is the generated rewrite logic
 | ||
| 	that must becom optional at not continuously rewriting things that it 
 | ||
| 	need not, as it ascends the rule chain.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5563 on 2009/01/28 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Allow rewrite streams to use the base adaptors vector factory and not 
 | ||
| 	try to malloc new vectors themselves.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5562 on 2009/01/28 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Don't use CALLOC to allocate tree pools, use malloc as there is no need 
 | ||
| 	for calloc.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5561 on 2009/01/28 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Prevent warnigsn about retval.stop not being initialized when a rule 
 | ||
| 	returns eraly because it is in backtracking mode
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5558 on 2009/01/28 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Lots of optimizations (though the next one to be checked in is the huge 
 | ||
| 	win) for AST building and vector factories.
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	A large part of tree rewriting was the creation of vectors to hold AST 
 | ||
| 	nodes. Although I had created a vector factory, for some reason I never got 
 | ||
| 	around to creating a proper one, that pre-allocated the vectors in chunks and 
 | ||
| 	so on. I guess I just forgot to. Hence a big win here is prevention of calling 
 | ||
| 	malloc lots and lots of times to create vectors.
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	A second inprovement was to change teh vector definition such that it 
 | ||
| 	holds a certain number of elements wihtin the vector structure itself, rather 
 | ||
| 	than malloc and freeing these. Currently this is set to 8, but may increase. 
 | ||
| 	For AST construction, this is generally a big win because AST nodes don't often 
 | ||
| 	have many individual children unless there has not been any shaping going on in 
 | ||
| 	the parser. But if you are not shaping, then you don't really need a tree.
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	Other perforamnce inprovements here include not calling functions 
 | ||
| 	indirectly within token stream and common token stream. Hence tokens are 
 | ||
| 	claimed directly from the vectors. Users can override these funcitons of course 
 | ||
| 	and all this means is that if you override tokenstreams then you pretty much 
 | ||
| 	have to provide all the mehtods, but then I think you woudl have to anyway (and 
 | ||
| 	I don't know of anyone that has wanted to do this as you can carry your own 
 | ||
| 	structure around with the tokens anyway and that is much easier).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5555 on 2009/01/26 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Fixed: ANTLR-288
 | ||
| 	Correct the interpretation of the skip token such that channel, start 
 | ||
| 	index, char pos in lie, start line and text are correctly reset to the start of 
 | ||
| 	the new token when the one that we just traversed was marked as being skipped. 
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	This correctly excludes the text that was matched as part of the 
 | ||
| 	SKIP()ed token from the next token in the token stream and so has the side 
 | ||
| 	effect that asking for $text of a rule no longer includes the text that shuodl 
 | ||
| 	be skipped, but DOES include the text of tokens that were merely placed off the 
 | ||
| 	default channel.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5551 on 2009/01/25 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Fixed: ANTLR-287
 | ||
| 	Most of the source files did not include the BSD license. THis might
 | ||
| 	not be that big a deal given that I don't care what people do with it
 | ||
| 	other than take my name off it, but having the license reproduced 
 | ||
| 	everywhere
 | ||
| 	at least makes things perfectly clear. Hence this mass change of 
 | ||
| 	sources and templates
 | ||
| 	to include the license.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5550 on 2009/01/25 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Fixed: ANTLR-365
 | ||
| 	Ensure that as soon as we known about an input stream on the lexer that
 | ||
| 	we borrow its string factroy adn use it in our EOF token in case
 | ||
| 	anyone tries to make it a string, such as in error messages for 
 | ||
| 	instance.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5548 on 2009/01/25 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Fixed: ANTLR-363
 | ||
|         At some point the Java runtime default changed from discarding offchannel
 | ||
|         tokens to preserving them. The fix is to make the C runtime also 
 | ||
| 	default to preserving off-channel tokens.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5544 on 2009/01/24 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Fixed: ANTLR-360
 | ||
| 	Ensure that the fillBuffer funtiion does not call any methods
 | ||
| 	that require the cached buffer size to be recorded before we
 | ||
| 	have actually recorded it.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5543 on 2009/01/24 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Fixed: ANTLR-362
 | ||
| 	Some users have started using string factories themselves and
 | ||
| 	exposed a flaw in the destroy method, that is intended to remove
 | ||
| 	a strng htat was created by the factory and is no longer needed.
 | ||
| 	The string was correctly removed from the vector that tracks them
 | ||
| 	but after the first one, all the remaining strings are then numbered
 | ||
| 	incorrectly. Hence the destroy method has been recoded to reindex
 | ||
| 	the strings in the factory after one is removed and everythig is once
 | ||
| 	more hunky dory.
 | ||
| 	User suggested fix rejected.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5542 on 2009/01/24 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Fixed ANTLR-366
 | ||
| 	The recognizer state now ensures that all fields are set to NULL upon 
 | ||
| creation
 | ||
| 	and the reset does not overwrite the tokenname array
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5527 on 2009/01/15 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Add the C runtime for 3.1.2 beta2 to perforce
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5526 on 2009/01/15 by jimi@jimi.jimivista.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Correctly define the MEMMOVE macro which was inadvertently left to be 
 | ||
| 	memcpy.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5503 on 2008/12/12 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Change C runtime release number to 3.1.2 beta
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5473 on 2008/12/01 by jimi@jimi.jimivista.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Fixed: ANTLR-350 - C runtime use of memcpy
 | ||
| 	Prior change to use memcpy instead of memmove in all cases missed the 
 | ||
| 	fact that the string factory can be in a situation where overlaps occur. We now 
 | ||
| 	have ANTLR3_MEMCPY and ANTLR3_MEMMOVE and use the two appropriately.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5471 on 2008/12/01 by jimi@jimi.jimivista.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Fixed ANTLR-361
 | ||
| 	 - Ensure that ANTLR3_BOOLEAN is typedef'ed correctly when building for

| 	C rtunime - make sure that ADAPTOR results are cast to the tree type on

 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5620 on 2009/02/18 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3

 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	Relocate the code generating templates to exist in the directory set

 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	When checking in your templates, you may find it easiest to make a copy 
 | ||
| 	of what you have, revert the change in perforce, then just check out the 
 | ||
| 	template in the new location, and copy the changes back over. Nobody has oore 
 | ||
| 	than two files open at the moment.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5578 on 2009/02/12 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3

| 	C Runtime - Bug fixes.
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	 o Having moved to use an extract directly from a vector for returning 
 | ||
| 	    tokens, it exposed a
 | ||
| 	    bug whereby the EOF boudary calculation in tokLT was incorrectly 
 | ||
| 	    checking > rather than
 | ||
| 	    >=. 
 | ||
| 	 o Changing to API initialization of tokens rather than memcmp() 
 | ||
| 	    incorrectly forgot to 
 | ||
| 	    set teh input stream pointer for the manufactured tokens in the 
 | ||
| 	    token factory;
 | ||
| 	 o Rewrite streams for rewriting tree parsers did not check whether the 
 | ||
| 	    rewrite stream
 | ||
| 	    was ever assigned before trying to free it, it is now in line with 
 | ||
| 	    the ordinary parser code.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5567 on 2009/01/29 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	C Runtime - Further Optimizations
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	Within grammars that used scopes and were intended to parse large 
 | ||
| 	inputs with many rule nests,
 | ||
| 	the creation anf deletion of the scopes themselves became significant. 
 | ||
| 	Careful analysis shows that
 | ||
| 	for most grammars, while a parse could create and delete 20,000 scopes, 
 | ||
| 	the maxium depth of
 | ||
| 	any scope was only 8. 
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	This change therefore changes the scope implementation so that it does 
 | ||
| 	not free scope memory when
 | ||
| 	it is popped but just tracks it in a C runtime stack, eventually 
 | ||
| 	freeing it when the stack is freed. This change
 | ||
| 	caused the allocation of only 12 scope structures instead of 20,000 for 
 | ||
| 	the extreme example case.
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	This change means that scope users must be carefule (as ever in C) to 
 | ||
| 	initializae their scope elements
 | ||
| 	correctly as:
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	1) If not you may inherit values from a prior use of the scope 
 | ||
| 	    structure;
 | ||
| 	2) SCope structure are now allocated with malloc and not calloc;
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	Also, when using a custom free function to clean a scope when it is 
 | ||
| 	popped, it is probably a good idea
 | ||
| 	to set any free'd pointers to NULL (this is generally good C programmig 
 | ||
| 	practice in any case)
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5566 on 2009/01/29 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Remove redundant BACKTRACK checking so that MSVC9 does not get confused 
 | ||
| 	about possibly uninitialized variables
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5565 on 2009/01/28 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Use malloc rather than calloc to allocate memory for new scopes. Note 
 | ||
| 	that this means users will have to be careful to initialize any values in their 
 | ||
| 	scopes that they expect to be 0 or NULL and I must document this.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5564 on 2009/01/28 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Use malloc rather than calloc for copying list lable tokens for 
 | ||
| 	rewrites.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5561 on 2009/01/28 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Prevent warnigsn about retval.stop not being initialized when a rule

 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5560 on 2009/01/28 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Add a NULL check before freeing rewrite streams used in AST rewrites 
 | ||
| 	rather than auto-rewrites.
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	While the NULL check is redundant as the free cannot be called unless 
 | ||
| 	it is assigned, Visual Studio C 2008
 | ||
| 	gets it wrong and thinks that there is a PATH than can arrive at the 
 | ||
| 	free wihtout it being assigned and that is too annoying to ignore.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| Change 5559 on 2009/01/28 by jimi@jimi.jimi.antlr3
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	C target Tree rewrite optimization
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	There is only one optimization in this change, but it is a huge one.
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	The code generation templates were set up so that at the start of a rule,
 | ||
| 	any rewrite streams mentioned in the rule wer pre-created. However, this
 | ||
| 	is a massive overhead for rules where only one or two of the streams are
 | ||
| 	actually used, as we create them then free them without ever using them.
 | ||
| 	This was copied from the Java templates basically.
 | ||
| 	This caused literally millions of extra calls and vector allocations
 | ||
| 	in the case of the GNU C parser given to me for testing with a 20,000 
 | ||
| 	line program.
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	After this change, the following comparison is avaiable against the gcc 
 | ||
| 	compiler:
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	Before (different machines here so use the relative difference for 
 | ||
| 	comparison):
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	gcc:
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	real    0m0.425s
 | ||
| 	user    0m0.384s
 | ||
| 	sys     0m0.036s
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	ANTLR C
 | ||
| 	real    0m1.958s
 | ||
| 	user    0m1.284s
 | ||
| 	sys     0m0.656s
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	After the previous optimizations for vector pooling via a factory,
 | ||
| 	plus this huge win in removing redundant code, we have the following
 | ||
| 	(different machine to the one above):
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	gcc:
 | ||
| 	0.21user 0.01system 0:00.23elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k

| 	0inputs+328outputs (0major+9922minor)pagefaults 0swaps

 | ||
| 	0inputs+0outputs (0major+130944minor)pagefaults 0swaps
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	The extra system time coming from the fact that although the tree 
 | ||
| 	rewriting is now optimal in terms of not allocating things it does 
 | ||
| 	not need, there is still a lot more overhead in a parser that is generated 
 | ||
| 	for generic use, including much more use of structures for tokens and extra 
 | ||
| 	copying and so on. I will
 | ||
| 	continue to work on improviing things where I can, but the next big 
 | ||
| 	improvement will come from Ter's optimization of the actual code structures we 
 | ||
| 	generate including not doing things with rewrite streams that we do not need to 
 | ||
| 	do at all.
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	The second machine I used is about twice as fast CPU wise as the system 
 | ||
| 	that was used originally by the user that asked about this performance.

| 	have many individual children unless there has not been any shaping going on in 
 | ||
| 	the parser. But if you are not shaping, then you don't really need a tree.
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	Other perforamnce inprovements here include not calling functions 
 | ||
| 	indirectly within token stream and common token stream. Hence tokens are 
 | ||
| 	claimed directly from the vectors. Users can override these funcitons of course 
 | ||
| 	and all this means is that if you override tokenstreams then you pretty much 
 | ||
| 	have to provide all the mehtods, but then I think you woudl have to anyway (and 
 | ||
| 	I don't know of anyone that has wanted to do this as you can carry your own 
 | ||
| 	structure around with the tokens anyway and that is much easier).

| 
 | ||
| 	Fixed: ANTLR-379
 | ||
| 	For some reason in the past, the ruleMemozation() template had required 
 | ||
| 	that the name parameter be set to the rule name. This does not seem to be a 
 | ||
| 	requirement any more. The name=xxx override when invoking the template was 
 | ||
| 	causing all the scope names derived when cleaning up in memoization to be 
 | ||
| 	called after the rule name, which was not correct. Howver, this only affected 
 | ||
| 	the output when in output=AST mode.
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 	This template invocation is now corrected.

 | ||
| 	Fixed: ANTLR-330
 | ||
| 	Managed to get the one rule that could not see the ASTLabelType to call 
 | ||
| 	back in to the super template C.stg and ask it to construct hte name. I am not 
 | ||
| 	100% sure that this fixes all cases, but I cannot find any that fail. PLease 
 | ||
| 	let me know if you find any exampoles of being unable to default the 
 | ||
| 	ASTLabelType option in the C target.

| 	Progress: ANTLR-327
 | ||
| 	Fix debug code generation templates when output=AST such that code
 | ||
| 	can at least be generated and I can debug the output code correctly.
 | ||
| 	Note that this checkin does not implement the debugging requirements
 | ||
| 	for tree generating parsers.

 | ||
| 	Most of the source files did not include the BSD license. THis might
 | ||
| 	not be that big a deal given that I don't care what people do with it
 | ||
| 	other than take my name off it, but having the license reproduced 
 | ||
| 	everywhere at least makes things perfectly clear. Hence this mass change of 
 | ||
| 	sources and templates to include the license.

| 	Fixed: ANTLR-354
 | ||
| 	Using 0.0D as the default initialize value for a double caused
 | ||
| 	VS 2003 C compiler to bomb out. There seesm to be no reason other
 | ||
| 	than force of habit to set this to 0.0D so I have dropped the D so
 | ||
| 	that older compilers do not complain.

 | ||
| 
 | ||
| 	Fixed: ANTLR-282
 | ||
| 	All references are now unadorned with any type of NULL check for the 
 | ||
| 	following reasons:
 | ||
| 	
 | ||
| 		1) A NULL reference means that there is a problem with the 
 | ||
| 		   grammar and we need the program to fail immediately so 
 | ||
| 		   that the programmer can work out where the problem occured;
 | ||
| 		2) Most of the time, the only sensible value that can be 
 | ||
| 		   returned is NULL or 0 which
 | ||
| 		   obviates the NULL check in the first place;
 | ||
| 		3) If we replace a NULL reference with some value such as 0, 
 | ||
| 		   then the program may blithely continue but just do something 
 | ||
| 		   logically wrong, which will be very difficult for the 
 | ||
| 		   grammar programmer to detect and correct.

| 
 | ||
| 	Fixed: ANTLR-357
 | ||
| 	The bug report was correct in that the types of references to things
 | ||
| 	like $start were being incorrectly cast as they wer not changed from 
 | ||
| 	Java style casts (and the casts are unneccessary). this is now fixed 
 | ||
| 	and references are referencing the correct, uncast, types.
 | ||
| 	However, the bug report was wrong in that the reference in the bok to 
 | ||
| 	$start.pos will only work for Java and really, it is incorrect in the 
 | ||
| 	book because it shoudl not access the .pos member directly but shudl 
 | ||
| 	be using $start.getCharPositionInLine().
 | ||
| 	Because there is no access qualification in C, one could use 
 | ||
| 	$start.charPosition, however
 | ||
| 	really this should be $start->getCharPositionInLine($start);

 | ||
| 	The code generation for the free method of a recognizer was not

| 	distinguishing tree parsers from parsers when it came to calling delegate free 
 | ||
| 	functions.
 | ||

| 
 | ||
| 	Fixed: ANTLR-350 - C runtime use of memcpy
 | ||
| 	Prior change to use memcpy instead of memmove in all cases missed the 
 | ||
| 	fact that the string factory can be in a situation where overlaps occur. We now 
 | ||
| 	have ANTLR3_MEMCPY and ANTLR3_MEMMOVE and use the two appropriately.
