There are contexts where it is preferrable if the parser stops on the first error and does no longer change its state. The advantage is that it is easier to know the exact parser state when the error occurred if nothing gets changed anymore; this may help in debugging the source that is being compiled.
With this patch, the new command line argument -Jstoponerror lets the Java parser stop on the first error instead of going into error recovery and attempting to parse on.
No change for the parsers in C language.
