Well I never said separate passes, it will be a scanner controlled by the parser, which will be recursive descent, i.e. usual form of match(token) type scanning.

I will have multiple representations, but that will be mainly due to character types, i.e. utf-8, wide, etc.

But if the tokens are not copied into the AST but a token is a record consisting of a start and end position within the buffer then it cannot be a file, the whole thing has to be read into memory at the start, i.e. before scanning.
