How can you add member variables to the parser/lexer class definitions of ANTLR 2.x?

Member variables and methods can be added by including a bracketed section after the options section that follows the class definition. For example, for the parser:

class JavaParser extends Parser;
options {
        k = 2;                           // two token lookahead
        exportVocab=Java;            // Call its vocabulary "Java"
        codeGenMakeSwitchThreshold = 2;  // Some optimizations
        codeGenBitsetTestThreshold = 3;
        defaultErrorHandler = false;     // Don't generate parser error handler
s
}

{

  /*
      Class variables or methods go here
  */

  private int myvar;

  public int getMyVar() { return myvar; }

}

Included below is some C++ code to extend the scanner to keep track of columns:

class JavaLexer extends Lexer;

options {
        exportVocab=Java;  // call the vocabulary "Java"
        testLiterals=false;    // don't automatically test for literals
        k=4;                   // four characters of lookahead
}
{  //
   // Start local extensions to the scanner
   //

private:
  int column;  // text column number (numbered from 1)

public:

  // Extension specific initialization.  This is included
  // since the class constructor is automaticly generated.
  void init() {
    column = 0;
  }

  int getCol() { return column; }

  void consume() {
    CharScanner::consume(); // call consume() in the base class
    if (inputState->guessing == 0) {
      column++;
    }
  }

  void newline() {
    CharScanner::newline();  // call newline() in the base class
    column = 1;
  }


  RefToken makeToken( int t ) {
    RefToken tok = CharScanner::makeToken( t );
    tok->setColumn( column );
    return tok;
  }

  //
  // end local scanner extensions
  //
}
