4.2.3. Skip Rule

[Tip]Description

A skip rule represents an "empty" or "do nothing" instruction.

[Important]Syntax
SkipRuleAST ::= skip ;
[Note]Semantics

The rule does not do anything, the execution continues with the next rule.

Remark.  Typically, it is used within a nested rule if a nested rule must be defined in a rule where nothing should be done. For instance in a choose rule the expected actions can be the side effect of applying a GT rule and thus the ASM rule invocation in the do part frequently does nothing.
