Because the fixed code may output results that you don't want.

int x 5;

Should it be int x = 5; or int x5;
The parsing operation is very hard and takes some time. There is a method
called Global correction to implement a compiler that changes the code but
besides the reason above it's too costly to implement.

Thanks
Mohamed
