Sure, that's possible too .. lots of possibilities. At present we have an operator that grabs the first char of a string, which handles all these cases: expensive at the moment (because the string gets constructed at run time, just to pull a char out of it). We probably need a systematic review of features: strings, 'c' binding things, keywords, grammar .. We have 221 tokens, and 233 non-terminals. Ocaml has a limit of 246 constructors with arguments per type. I tried building a dypgen parser and it makes a variant with tokens+non-terminals constructors .. breaking Ocaml limit. -- John Skaller <skaller at users dot sf dot net> Felix, successor to C++: http://felix.sf.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
