Re: [cedet-semantic] Arbitrary parsing depth with `semantic-lex`

[Eric M. L. <er...@si...>]

Hi,

  If you create a lexer with no block analyzers, then it will parse
all the characters.  If you are re-using an existing lexer, then that
would be a bit of a problem.  Looking in the code I don't see a magic
switch.  I think using a really big number would be the way to go
for a quick hack.

  Here is another cool trick.  If you pass in the number 1.0e+INF,
then you will never reach it, but the current depth will always be
less. I don't know if that number is unique to Emacs 23 CVS (which is
what I'm running) or not.

Good Luck
Eric
