Re: Suggestion for improving C++ parser memory usage

Nope, I'm just an observer. But I don't think memory usage reductions
should be discarded on the grounds that you need at least half a gig of
RAM to compile C++, that sounds crazy to my ears.
Significant memory reductions are certainly of interest, but it seems
very dubious that this particular suggestion would pay off, and it also
seems that it would murkify the parser for no appreciable gain.
That being said, if you want to try to work out a patch, go ahead!
If the complexity/memory-savings tradeoff doesn't make sense then by all
means ignore me :)
