Re: True Name Spaces, when?

I wrote
There are many cases for example when someone uses a StringReplace() during a parse, which is actually is reseting part of the pass to not be a single pass any more... since you are rewinding when a replace is done.


And I meant throwing around temporary buffers and doing work on these buffers such, as string replaces or pos() calls. Not actually doing a search and replace on the entire file being parsed, but rather just on a sub section of the file to check syntax of a certain part of what we are passing by at that point in time. I consider these buffers "sub passes" and therefore all single passes are never really a single pass. But, still, it is useful to know whether the compiler goes through generally as one big pass with subpasses, or whether it goes throw three big passes with more subpasses, etc. Hence why maybe I should just give up and admit that a single pass has some meaning.. but not any truth.
