Syntax Checker that's better than the normal syntax checker

Jacob Grover

I've been using the stupid built in syntax checker, it's been making
some mistakes is there any better syntax checker. Unrealistically, a
standalone application were you paste in your code and it checks it. But
anything other than the built in syntax checker will do.

Uh... what?

If the built-in syntax checker isn't catching an error... it's not an
error. The "built-in syntax checker" is the interpreter itself.

Unless you're talking about an IDE or something, in which case you
should probably tell us what you mean...

Maybe he's referring to ruby -c ?

Ah, that's a good point. And further perhaps he means "gives better
error messages", since we've probably all felt the pain of ruby -c
telling us that there's a syntax error on the last (blank) line of the
file.

ruby -cw surely!

Ruby's error messages are horribly obscure compared with Perl's, which
are really quite friendly. A typical one would be something like "(Blah
blah blah) error. Maybe an unterminated string starting on line 42?" --
which it usually is. Or "Class Thing not found. Maybe you forgot to
include Thing.pm?" -- which is usually the case.

Cool, now I can use it because I would look for an endless string or too
little or too many ends and so on.

So historic number of filibusters, obstruction and blocking is what
you advise Obama to do?

Looks like youre a bit lost.

The filibuster was invented by the 'rats. It's an excellent tool to keep the
minority in the game and from being bullied aside.
