Back when I was in undergraduate school, lexical analysis and compiler design were all taught in Computer Science. They don't seem to do that much anymore, though.

Ain't that the truth. Now it's only about learning how "to code".
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

i never went to school for it. I wound up at microsoft at 18 instead. But compilers and parsers have always been an interest of mine.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Isn't the Roslyn compiler open source?
And maybe Honey can contribute

A bug in Microsoft's CodeDOM for the VB language forced me to change my code if I wanted to support VB.
Well, I feel like i need a shower, but the next rev will support VB code generation

If changing your code so it works with VB feels like you need a shower, just wait until you write actual VB code to test it out.
Bring out the peroxide and pressure washer.

Sometimes I accidentally leave my project in "Release" configuration, and I barely notice or don't notice at all.
The debugger attaches, breakpoints hit, and unlike C++ I have the entire stack frame and everything else at my fingertips, in C#, just like in debug mode.
There's very little actual code optimization done at this phase, or at least that used to be the case, and based on a little test @Super Lloyd (don't know how to tag here) ran some time back still seems to be. This is perhaps Microsoft's dirty little secret, they don't do much whole program optimization.
But mostly, the debugger works great because all the type information is there, even release, so you have the offsets of every member, and all the names.
It almost raises the question of why bother even having debug mode in .NET aside from conditional compiles (#define DEBUG) and metadata attributes related to it.
I think i may have hit a snag hitting a breakpoint in some scenarios but most of the time everything just works.
Not that I recommend this. I just find myself in release without noticing for awhile because of it.

With C#, I do both debug and release modes with full debug info.

honey the codewitch wrote: don't know how to tag here
It's pretty simple.
In many cases you can just use an "@", followed by the username: @OriginalGriff
And the system will replace it with the link, and send the email as it did with me.
But yours is harder: @honey the codewitch won't work, because that isn't what you started with, and it contains spaces. So I go to your homepage, and below your username is the correct code: @code-witch
For Super Lloyd, you do the same thing, and get @Super-Lloyd which is who you were trying to acknowledge.

Hi, Nagy, good to see you on here again. Has your supply of Gin run out? Are you going to ask for donations?

 That's owlful.

Give us this day our foamy head, and forgive us our spillage as we forgive those who spill against us. And lead us not to incarceration, but deliver us from hangovers. For thine is the beer, the bitter and the lager, for ever and ever. Barmen.

I'm not sure how you raptor head around that one.

I am looking to purchase a copy of Windows10 Pro on line.
I found a company selling it for $35.00. The company is MS Office Works. The price seems too good to be true.
Has anyone out there bought something from this company, or know anything about it.
If you have any experience with them, good or bad, please let me know.
TANSTAAFL!

Given that the MS price is £219 I'd suspect something dodgy is going on.
