1/// \page runtime Navigating the C Runtime Documentation
2///
3/// If you are familiar with Doxygen generated documentation, then the layout of the files, typedefs
4/// and so on will be familiar to you. However there is also additional structure applied that helps
5/// the programmer to see how the runtime is made up.
6///
7/// \section modules Modules
8///
9/// Under the Modules menu tree you will find the entry API Classes. This section is further
10/// divided into typedefs and structs and the standard runtime supplied interface implementation
11/// methods.
12///
13/// The typedefs are the types that you declare in your code and which are returned by the
14/// 'constructors' such as antlr38BitFileStreamNew(). The underlying structures document
15/// the data elements of the type and what a function pointer installed in any particular
16/// slot should do.
17///
18/// The default implementations are the static methods within the default implementation file
19/// for a 'class', which are installed by the runtime when a default instance of one the
20/// typedefs (classes) is created.
21///
22/// When navigating the source code, find the typedef you want to consult and inspect the documentation
23/// for its function pointers, then look at the documentation for the default methods that implement
24/// that 'method'.
25///
26/// For example, under "API Typedefs and Structs" you will find "Base Recognizer Definition", which tells
27/// you all the methods that belong to this interface. Under "API Implementation Functions", you will
28/// find "Base Recognizer Implementation", which documents the actual functions that are installed
29/// to implement the class methods.
30///
31/// From here, the documentation should be obvious. If it is not, then you could try reading
32/// the actual source code, but please don't email the author directly, use the ANTLR Interest
33/// email group, which you should probably have signed up for if you have read this far into the
34/// C runtime documentation.
