In many cases, it is pointless to continue after an error, or at the least the compiler may need to pop a few levels before it makes sense to emit more messages. After an error, it is better to suppress following error messages, unless you are reasonably confident they are not caused by earlier errors. So if a few more errors are missed because we turn on flag_syntax_only, I don't see that it's a big deal. Not that I care much either way about this issue. --Per Bothner Cygnus Solutions bothner@cygnus.com http://www.cygnus.com/~bothner
