Re: [cdt-dev] LR Parser update for RC4 candidate

I posted this to bugzilla but will post it here as well...

While I wasn't involved in the creation or posting of this patch, and I'm not trying to argue against the veto, I do wish to point out that because the parser is generated, a small amount of changes to the grammar can result in megs of changes to the generated files. If you look at the patches, most of the changes are in generated code, especially the parser action tables, which are always huge.

There's only about a page of changes to the grammar. So the "real" size of the patch is not nearly so large as it is perceived to be.

Anyway... This should probably be material for 7.0.1 at this point.

-1. I can't think of anything constructive to say, so I won't. This request should have never been considered let alone made.
