That's one of my gripes about compiler classes, they expend enormous
effort on the simplest part of a compiler - the lexer/parser.
In working on the D compiler, I easily spend less than 1% of the
effort on the lexer/parser.
Plug: you should sign up for my compiler construction seminar! We
don't waste much time on the simple stuff, and do the hard bits
instead. /Plug
I'd love to, but I'm broke. OTOH I might get lucky and have a job by the
next one. When/where/how much/link?
