C++ Parser Merge

C++ Parser Merge

[Mark Mitchell]

I'm recovering from the Norwalk Virus (don't worry -- you can't catch
it by email), but I think I'm capable of doing the merge.

There are three major components:

(1) V3 changes

    These are for random invalid bits in V3 that the old parser didn't
    catch, but the new one does.  Nothing controversial, I don't
    think.

(2) Testsuite changes

    The parser changes necessitate changes to the testsuite; some new 
    errors, some changed messages, etc.

    Most of these are non-controversial; I'll call out any that I
    think people might have something to say.

(3) The front end code itself.

I intend to do the merge in the order above.

There will undoubtedly be fall-out, but I don't think it will be too
great -- we've run a fair amount of real code, beyond what is in our
testsuites, through the parser, with good results.

Thanks for the update!

Just out of curiosity, is fast/slow is the new parser?

Thanks for the great work!

OK.  But please don't do any more of that; that's the kind of thing
that can produce lots of little conflicts all over the place.

Thanks,

I'll check in today a patch to cp/class.c that ansifies function
definitions.

C++ Parser Merge

[Mark Mitchell]

I plan to merge the C++ parser on December 27th.

Geoff Keating gave me his permission to go ahead of the PCH branch, for
which I am very grateful.

I would appreciate it if changes to the C++ front end, especially changes
that touch lots of code, be kept to a minimum.

Thanks,
