I suppose it might be supportable in C (we shuold produce an AST, but we will produce errors (you can suppress them), with invalid nodes for the variable references), it's certainly not supportable in C++ owing to the non-context-free nature of the C++ programming language.<br><br>- Dave</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><br></div>Since now, thank you very much!<br><br></div>Regards,<br></div> Marcus<br></div>
