			ruleA : "keywordA" (ruleB | ruleC)*;
			

			ruleB : "keywordB" IDENT;
			

			ruleC : "keywordC" IDENT;
			

			IDENT : ( 'A'..'Z' | 'a'..'z' ) ( 'A'..'Z' | 'a'..'z' | '0'..'9' )*



Given this statement,



keywordA keywordB myIdentitier rubbish_now




how come ANTLR did not report an error? rubbish_now obviously does not follow any subrule in ruleA.

It's because ruleA isn't expecting anything after the subrule. Try 


ruleA : ""keywordA"" (ruleB | ruleC)* EOF;


And you will see an error message.
