|    Question on Part V in Let's Build a Comp    |
|    14 Dec 09 10:27:01    |
      From: steve@steveandmimi.com              I'm working through Let's Build a Compiler (http://compilers.iecc.com/crenshaw/       ) and I've run into a problem. The definition of Block after the first       iteration of DoIf is:              procedure Block;       begin        while not(Look in ['e']) do begin        case Look of        'i': DoIf;        'o': Other;        end;        end;       end;              This seems to go into an infinite loop if Look is anything other than       'e', 'i', or 'o'.              The definition after DoWhile is introduced works correctly:              procedure Block;       begin        while not(Look in ['e', 'l']) do begin        case Look of        'i': DoIf;        'w': DoWhile;        else Other;        end;        end;       end;              Should the 'o:' case in the first version actually be 'else'?              -Steve              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
