Re: gcc compile-time performance

[Robert Dewar]

<<The problem in C++ is that if one say mistypes say a class name in its
definition, a lot of subsequent code becomes meaningless to the compiler to
catch: The context information that it is a class name is lost. Catching a
missed "}" is a relatively simple problem to that as the meaning of "{"
does not change with context (like the language type that a name belongs
to).

Certainly one should do nearest spelling error correction in such cases, that
can definitely help.
