In my personal opinion, the result of using lex/yacc tends to end up just having to fight the assumptions the tools make. -The parsing is done in four phases: +The parsing is done in five phases: - full-file tokenization - pre-processing (which can cause another tokenization phase of another file) - semantic parsing. - lazy type evaluation + - inline function expansion and tree simplification Note the "full file" part. Partly for efficiency, but mostly for ease of use, there are no "partial results". The library completely parses one |
