New version of the Draft Thesis document



Hi!

I just want to inform you that I have just uploaded a modified draft of my
thesis at the following address:
http://www.sable.mcgill.ca/sablecc/thesis_final_draft.zip

It contains many corrections and an example of a "customized parser". A
customized parser can be used to reduce the size of the abstract syntax tree
(AST) while it is constructed. This is important when parsing large files.
On the other hand, working on a complete AST has advantages too. With a
complete AST, a simple 'file.write(ast.toString())' writes to disk a file
that can be parsed again to reproduce the same AST.

Have a nice day!
