> Not if you're writing an IDE.

This thread is so weird. The topic at hand is a compliers course. ibains complains about a desire for qualified IDE developers. It's like complaining that your family doctor isn't an orthopedic surgeon. Why should a compilers course spend the requisite time for these highly specialized IDE algorithms?

Specifically. What part of this course should be removed to make room for IDE-specific algorithms? Or, would an advanced IDE algorithms course (with this course as a prerequisite) be a more sensible approach?
