Subject: Compiling Ada

Message-ID: <29329@sri-unix.SRI.COM> (raw)

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? :-)
