Unfortunately, they’re not so willing. All they’d agree to do is to check in the generated files into version control, and we are supposed to just ship these, and patch the generated file if we patch the source. This is… probably untenable. bye, //mirabilos -- Sometimes they [people] care too much: pretty printers [and syntax highligh- ting, d.A.] mechanically produce pretty output that accentuates irrelevant detail in the program, which is as sensible as putting all the prepositions in English text in bold font. -- Rob Pike in "Notes on Programming in C"
