"OP" wrote in message news:[email protected]... I just looked at parse.c and I had no idea there is a precedence table. Why is there one rather than it being embedded like a switch statement which tries to handle all the higher precedence operations calling a function running the next set of precedence? I guess that does sound like a loop/table but I imagined it in switch statements.
The precedence table is mostly just used for leaving off redundant parens when printing expressions, not for parsing.
