Re: [Vala] lexical analysis using libvala

[Maga Abdurakhmanov <maqdev gmail com>]

Victor, it was the first way i tried out. I've almost implemented lexer and
parser for Vala using antlr rules. And there is a basic plugin for netbeans
using that lexer.

But there still to much things to fix and do and i'm very limited in my
time.
libvala has already implemented lexer and parser and evolve with the vala
itself. And in the future all new constructions of language will be easier
to support.
