+/// \page buildrec How to build Generated C Code
+///
+/// \section generated Generated Files
+///
+/// The antlr tool jar, run against a grammar file that targets the C language, will generate the following files
+/// according to whether your grammar file contains a lexer, parser, combined or treeparser specification.
+/// Your grammar file name and the subject of the grammar line in your file are expected to match. Here the generic name G is used:
+///
+/// <table>
+/// <tr>
+/// <th> Suffix </th>
+/// <th> Generated files </th>
+/// </tr>
+/// <tr>
+/// <td> lexer grammar (G.g3l) </td>
+/// <td> GLexer.c GLexer.h</td>
+/// </tr>
+/// <tr>
+/// <td> parser grammar (G.g3p) </td>
+/// <td> GParser.c GParser.h </td>
+/// </tr>
+/// <tr>
+/// <td> grammar G (G.g3pl) </td>
+/// <td> GParser.c GParser.h GLexer.c GLexer.h</td>
+/// </tr>
+/// <tr>
+/// <td> tree grammar G; (G.g3t) </td>
+/// <td> G.c G.h </td>
+/// </tr>
+/// </table>
+///
+/// The generated .c files reference the .h files using <G.h>, so you must use <code>-I.</code> on your compiler command line
+/// (or include the current directory in your include paths in Visual Studio). Additionally, the generated .h files reference
+/// <code>antlr3.h</code>, so you must use <code>-I/path/to/antlr/include</code> (E.g. <code>-I /usr/local/include</code>) to reference the standard ANTLR include files.
+///
+/// In order to reference the library file at compile time (you can/should only reference one) you need to use the
+/// <code>-L/path/to/antlr/lib</code> (E.g. <code>-L /usr/local/lib</code>) on Unix, or add the path to your "Additional Library Path" in
+/// Visual Studio. You also need to specify the library using <code>-L</code> on Unix (E.g. <code>-L /usr/local/lib -l antlr3c</code>) or add <code>antlr3c_dll.lib</code>
+/// to your Additional Library Dependencies in Visual Studio.
+///
+/// In case it isn't obvious, the generated files may be used to produce either a library or an executable (.EXE on Windows) file.
+///
+/// If you use the shared version of the libraries, DLL or .so/.so/.a then you must ship the library with your
+/// application must run in an environment whereby the library can be found by the runtime linker/loader.
+/// This usually involves specifying the directory in which the library lives to an environment variable.
+/// On Windows, X:{yourwininstalldir}\system32 will be searched automatically.
+///
+/// \section invoke Invoking Your Generated Recognizer
+///
+/// In order to run your lexer/parser/tree parser combination, you will need a small function (or main)
+/// function that controls the sequence of events, from reading the input file or string, through to
+/// invoking the tree parser(s) and retrieving the results. See "Using the ANTLR3C C Target" for more
+/// detailed instructions, but if you just want to get going as fast as possible, study the following
+/// code example.
+///
+/// \code
+///
+/// // You may adopt your own practices by all means, but in general it is best
+/// // to create a single include for your project, that will include the ANTLR3 C
+/// // runtime header files, the generated header files (all of which are safe to include
+/// // multiple times) and your own project related header files. Use <> to include and
+/// // -I on the compile line (which vs2005 now handles, where vs2003 did not).
+/// //
+/// #include <treeparser.h>
+///
+/// // Main entry point for this example
+/// //
+/// int ANTLR3_CDECL
+/// main (int argc, char *argv[])
+/// {
+/// // Now we declare the ANTLR related local variables we need.
+/// // Note that unless you are convinced you will never need thread safe
+/// // versions for your project, then you should always create such things
+/// // as instance variables for each invocation.
+/// // -------------------
+///
+/// // Name of the input file. Note that we always use the abstract type pANTLR3_UINT8
+/// // for ASCII/8 bit strings - the runtime library guarantees that this will be
+/// // good on all platforms. This is a general rule - always use the ANTLR3 supplied
+/// // typedefs for pointers/types/etc.
+/// //
+/// pANTLR3_UINT8 fName;
+///
+/// // The ANTLR3 character input stream, which abstracts the input source such that
+/// // it is easy to privide inpput from different sources such as files, or
+/// // memory strings.
+/// //
+/// // For an 8Bit/latin-1/etc memory string use:
+/// // input = antlr3New8BitStringInPlaceStream (stringtouse, (ANTLR3_UINT32) length, NULL);
+/// //
+/// // For a UTF16 memory string use:
+/// // input = antlr3NewUTF16StringInPlaceStream (stringtouse, (ANTLR3_UINT32) length, NULL);
+/// //
+/// // For input from a file, see code below
+/// //
+/// // Note that this is essentially a pointer to a structure containing pointers to functions.
+/// // You can create your own input stream type (copy one of the existing ones) and override any
+/// // individual function by installing your own pointer after you have created the standard
+/// // version.
+/// //
+/// pANTLR3_INPUT_STREAM input;
+///
+/// // The lexer is of course generated by ANTLR, and so the lexer type is not upper case.
+/// // The lexer is supplied with a pANTLR3_INPUT_STREAM from whence it consumes its
+/// // input and generates a token stream as output. This is the ctx (CTX macro) pointer
+/// // for your lexer.
+/// //
+/// pLangLexer lxr;
+///
+/// // The token stream is produced by the ANTLR3 generated lexer. Again it is a structure based
+/// // API/Object, which you can customise and override methods of as you wish. a Token stream is
+/// // supplied to the generated parser, and you can write your own token stream and pass this in
+/// // if you wish.
+/// //
+/// pANTLR3_COMMON_TOKEN_STREAM tstream;
+///
+/// // The Lang parser is also generated by ANTLR and accepts a token stream as explained
+/// // above. The token stream can be any source in fact, so long as it implements the
+/// // ANTLR3_TOKEN_SOURCE interface. In this case the parser does not return anything
+/// // but it can of course specify any kind of return type from the rule you invoke
+/// // when calling it. This is the ctx (CTX macro) pointer for your parser.
+/// //
+/// pLangParser psr;
+///
+/// // The parser produces an AST, which is returned as a member of the return type of
+/// // the starting rule (any rule can start first of course). This is a generated type
+/// // based upon the rule we start with.
+/// //
+/// LangParser_decl_return langAST;
+///
+///
+/// // The tree nodes are managed by a tree adaptor, which doles
+/// // out the nodes upon request. You can make your own tree types and adaptors
+/// // and override the built in versions. See runtime source for details and
+/// // eventually the wiki entry for the C target.
+/// //
+/// pANTLR3_COMMON_TREE_NODE_STREAM nodes;
+///
+/// // Finally, when the parser runs, it will produce an AST that can be traversed by the
+/// // the tree parser: c.f. LangDumpDecl.g3t This is the ctx (CTX macro) pointer for your
+/// // tree parser.
+/// //
+/// pLangDumpDecl treePsr;
+///
+/// // Create the input stream based upon the argument supplied to us on the command line
+/// // for this example, the input will always default to ./input if there is no explicit
+/// // argument.
+/// //
+/// if (argc < 2 || argv[1] == NULL)
+/// {
+/// fName =(pANTLR3_UINT8)"./input"; // Note in VS2005 debug, working directory must be configured
+/// }
+/// else
+/// {
+/// fName = (pANTLR3_UINT8)argv[1];
+/// }
+///
+/// // Create the input stream using the supplied file name
+/// // (Use antlr38BitFileStreamNew for UTF16 input).
+/// //
+/// input = antlr38BitFileStreamNew(fName);

+/// // Our input stream is now open and all set to go, so we can create a new instance of our
+/// // lexer and set the lexer input to our input stream:
+/// // (file | memory | ?) --> inputstream -> lexer --> tokenstream --> parser ( --> treeparser )?
+/// //
+/// lxr = LangLexerNew(input); // CLexerNew is generated by ANTLR

+/// // NB: Nothing happens yet other than the file has been read. We are just
+/// // connecting all these things together and they will be invoked when we
+/// // call the parser rule. ANTLR3_SIZE_HINT can be left at the default usually
+/// // unless you have a very large token stream/input. Each generated lexer
+/// // provides a token source interface, which is the second argument to the
+/// // token stream creator.
+/// // Note tha even if you implement your own token structure, it will always
+/// // contain a standard common token within it and this is the pointer that
+/// // you pass around to everything else. A common token as a pointer within
+/// // it that should point to your own outer token structure.
+/// //
+/// tstream = antlr3CommonTokenStreamSourceNew(ANTLR3_SIZE_HINT, lxr->pLexer->tokSource);
+///
+/// if (tstream == NULL)
+/// {
+/// ANTLR3_FPRINTF(stderr, "Out of memory trying to allocate token stream\n");
+/// exit(ANTLR3_ERR_NOMEM);
+/// }
+///
+/// // Finally, now that we have our lexer constructed, we can create the parser
+/// //
+/// psr = LangParserNew(tstream); // CParserNew is generated by ANTLR3
+///
+/// if (psr == NULL)
+/// {
+/// ANTLR3_FPRINTF(stderr, "Out of memory trying to allocate parser\n");
+/// exit(ANTLR3_ERR_NOMEM);
+/// }
+///
+/// // We are all ready to go. Though that looked complicated at first glance,
+/// // I am sure, you will see that in fact most of the code above is dealing
+/// // with errors and there isn;t really that much to do (isn;t this always the
+/// // case in C? ;-).
+/// //
+/// // So, we now invoke the parser. All elements of ANTLR3 generated C components
+/// // as well as the ANTLR C runtime library itself are pseudo objects. This means
+/// // that they are represented as pointers to structures, which contain any
+/// // instance data they need, and a set of pointers to other interfaces or
+/// // 'methods'. Note that in general, these few pointers we have created here are
+/// // the only things you will ever explicitly free() as everything else is created
+/// // via factories, that allocate memory efficiently and free() everything they use
+/// // automatically when you close the parser/lexer/etc.
+/// //
+/// // Note that this means only that the methods are always called via the object
+/// // pointer and the first argument to any method, is a pointer to the structure itself.
+/// // It also has the side advantage, if you are using an IDE such as VS2005 that can do it
+/// // that when you type ->, you will see a list of all the methods the object supports.
+/// //
+/// langAST = psr->decl(psr);
+///
+/// // If the parser ran correctly, we will have a tree to parse. In general I recommend
+/// // keeping your own flags as part of the error trapping, but here is how you can
+/// // work out if there were errors if you are using the generic error messages
+/// //
+/// if (psr->pParser->rec->errorCount > 0)
+/// {
+/// ANTLR3_FPRINTF(stderr, "The parser returned %d errors, tree walking aborted.\n", psr->pParser->rec->errorCount);
+///
+/// }
+/// else
+/// {
+/// nodes = antlr3CommonTreeNodeStreamNewTree(langAST.tree, ANTLR3_SIZE_HINT); // sIZE HINT WILL SOON BE DEPRECATED!!
+///
+/// // Tree parsers are given a common tree node stream (or your override)
+/// //
+/// treePsr = LangDumpDeclNew(nodes);
