[cdt-dev] cdt parser change in behavior

[Graydon Carla-RZ1029 <RZ1029@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to find out if a behavioral change in the consume() methods in AbstractGNUSourceCodeParser class was intentional (v. 1.128 as part of https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=264666).

 

The javadoc comments for consume(int) and consume(int, int) imply that a token will not be consumed unless token types match. This was the behavior for Ganymede, but for Helios both methods now consume the token regardless of whether or not there is a match. If this is intentional, then Freescale can work around it, but currently, we catch a BacktrackException in AbstractGNUSourceCodeParser.asmExpression() to handle some Freescale-specific syntax and the fact that the tokens are consumed regardless of a token type match is breaking our custom support.

 

Thanks. --Carla Graydon, Freescale Semiconductor
