Interesting thread. I've been working on a hand-written D
parser (in Java, for the DDT IDE) and I too have found a slew
of grammar spec issues. Some of them more serious than the ones
you mentioned above. In same cases it's actually not clear, or
downright wrong what the grammar spec says. For example, here's
one off of my notes:
void func(int foo() { } );
The spec says that is parsable (basically a function
declaration in the parameter list), which makes no sense, and
DMD doesn't accept.
I'm wondering about the statement above, over in digitalmars.D
thread, that the declaration makes no sense.
http://dlang.org/expression.html#FunctionLiteral has
void foo(int function(int) fp);
Is/was void foo(int fp(int){}); intended to be accepted as an
alternate form of that declaration?
