A while ago, there was some discussion about ways in which Ada is difficult to compile. One of the comments was something about needing an infinite look ahead lexical analyser (parser?). If anyone out there remembers the specific reason for this (something to do with attributes conflicting with character literals, maybe?), I would appreciate it if they could send me email. Also, I'd be interested in a general discussion about compiling Ada. Anyone have any good stories? :-) -- "When you're down, it's a long way up When you're up, it's a long way down It's all the same thing And it's no new tale to tell" ../ray\..
