I think they *are* similar. I am trying to poke at the problem,
but parsers and G++'s parser are not my expertise. It may simply be that
Mark was too conservative in his patch for the other PR, like limiting it
to blev==0 (brace level).
Many of the open problems are C++-specific, but we unfortunately
have a limited group of C++ developers who can efficiently debug and fix
the problems. G++ is developed and maintained with care and competence,
but C++ is complex and G++ is delicate (especially the current parser
which Mark is rewriting).
We need to get the bugs fixed, but I also think that we should be
proud of the small number of bugs overall and the small number of bugs in
a C++ implementation which has become extremely more conformant to the
specs.
