|    Making semicolons optional moves LALR(1)    |
|    05 Feb 10 22:32:31    |
      From: ng2010@att.invalid              For a hypothetical programming language that is LALR(1) and uses       semicolons as statement terminators, would a change that makes semicolons       only required on multi-statement lines and using the newline as an       implicit statement terminator make the language LALR(2)?       [Seems to me that it makes a newline syntactically equivalent to a semicolon,       unless you       have some plan for multi-line statements you haven't mentioned. -John]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
