Antlr4 Mismatch input - antlr4

Question

First of all, I have read the solutions for the following similar questions: q1 q2 q3
Still I don't understand why I get the following message:
line 1:0 missing 'PROGRAM' at 'PROGRAM'
when I try to match the following:
PROGRAM test
BEGIN
END
My grammar:

From what I've read, I think there's a mismatch between KEYWORD and PROGRAM, but removing KEYWORD altogether does not solve the problem.
EDIT:
Removing KEYWORD gives the following message:
line 3:0 mismatched input 'END' expecting {'INT', 'STRING', 'FLOAT', '+'}
This my grun output when KEYWORD is available:
[#0,0:6='PROGRAM',<KEYWORD>,1:0]
[#1,8:11='test',<IDENTIFIER>,1:8]
[#2,13:17='BEGIN',<KEYWORD>,2:0]
[#3,19:21='END',<KEYWORD>,3:0]
[#4,23:22='<EOF>',<EOF>,4:0]
line 1:0 mismatched input 'PROGRAM' expecting 'PROGRAM'
(program PROGRAM test BEGIN END)
This is the output when KEYWORD is removed:
[#0,0:6='PROGRAM',<'PROGRAM'>,1:0]
[#1,8:11='test',<IDENTIFIER>,1:8]
[#2,13:17='BEGIN',<'BEGIN'>,2:0]
[#3,19:21='END',<'END'>,3:0]
[#4,23:22='<EOF>',<EOF>,4:0]
line 3:0 mismatched input 'END' expecting {'INT', 'STRING', 'FLOAT', '+'}
(program PROGRAM (id test) BEGIN (pgm_body decl func_declarations) END)

Answer 1

The error about "missing 'PROGRAM'" has been solved when you removed the KEYWORD rule (note that you should also remove the OPERATOR rule for the same reasons).
The error you're encountering now is completely unrelated.
Your current problem concerns the definition of empty, which you didn't show. You've said that you tried both EMPTY : $ ; and EMPTY : ^$ ; (and then presumably empty: EMPTY;), but none of those even compile, so they wouldn't cause the parse error you posted. Either way, the concept of an EMPTY token can't work. When would such a token be generated? Once between every other token? In that case, you'd get a lot of "unexpected EMPTY" errors. No, the whole point of an empty rule is that it should succeed without consuming any tokens.
To achieve that, you can just define empty : ; and remove EMPTY altogether. Alternatively you could remove empty as well and just use an empty alternative (i.e. | ;) wherever you're currently using empty. Either approach will make your code work, but there's a better way:
You're using empty as the base case for rules that basically amount to lists. ANTLR offers the repetition operators * (0 or more) , + (1 or more) as well as the ? operator to make things optional. These allow you to define lists non-recursively and without an empty rule. For example stmt_list could be defined like this:
stmt_list : stmt* ;
And id_list like this:
id_list : (id (',' id)*)? ;
On an unrelated note, your grammar can simplified greatly by making use of the fact that ANTLR 4 supports direct left recursion, so you can get rid of all the different expression rules and just have one that's left-recursive.
That'd give you:
expr : primary
| id '(' expr_list ')'
| expr mulop expr
| expr addop expr
;
And the rules expr_prefix, factor, factor_prefix and postfix_expr and call_expr could all be removed.
