The SPAD parser/lexer is line oriented, which means it does not incrementally parse user input by design. The SPAD parser drops column information after the lexical stage (see PARSE-NewExpr). The AST is not documented. Moreover, it is ambiguous. The system is not extensible or flexible by any rational measurement. > (2) And, as expected, your questions were rhetorical. Of course they were. I was trying to explain the work I am doing and you effectively dismissed it by saying "you dont need to wait for a new compiler", which is not true. Moreover, I feel my work has advantages which are visible not only to developers but users as well. I will be more than happy to discount your autoconf patch when it is ready based on the fact that we already have a build system which more or less works, if your interested in that kind of collaboration.
