That's wonderful. I suspect that much of the heat you're getting right now is because people are confused or don't really understand what the plans are for CamlP4 and OCaml.

Most > people consider that parsing = LALR and no other technic can exist. I prefer recursive descent, but my big gripe with yacc(s) is that they always seem to be stuck in the original 70s BNF. Can't someone just write an upwardly compatible yacc clone that supports a rich BNF? -- Brian ------------------- Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr
