But I wonder if yacc is suitable for writing an incremental compiler. Is it ? Can anyone refer me to books which explain how one writes incremental compilers ? And does anyonoe have experience doing so with yacc ? I would be interested in hearing about what it is like. Thank you. Sincerely, Allan Adler ADLER1@BRANDEIS.BITNET
