<sod>  Hmmm, how is it that the [[Dragon Book]] uses ''pass'' rather than ''parse'' in the relevant context? I would like to believe that Aho, Sethi, and Ullman knew what they were writing about. Strange, or what, [[User:VampWillow|VampWillow]]? --[[User:Wernher|Wernher]] 21:15, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 
 :Ah well, these 'Johnny come lately's do get things wrong occasionally, but as I was taight how to write compilers (and the rest) back in the mid-70s, and *the* book on the subject was the 1971 '''Compiler Construction for Digital Computers''' by David Gries which uses 'parse' then, I think, I rest my case! 
:It is, however, a ''very'' common mistake, as with newer compilers repeating their transit through the source code then the original usage of ''parsing the lexical strings to create the output streams/code/etc'' rather than being well-written and just going through the once, then the original spelling got lost somewhat (and some youngsters like to think they invented computer languages! ;-) --[[User:VampWillow|[[User:VampWillow|Vamp]][[User talk:VampWillow|Willow]]]] 21:40, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC) <eod> <sod> Hmmm, how is it that the [[Dragon Book]] uses ''pass'' rather than ''parse'' in the relevant context?
