Hehehe. So why does the EMAS C `compiler' (sic) regard *everything* as code
not to be compiled ?....

Murff....

This definition of "compiler" must rank as the BEST of the possible wrong
answers.  Written by a student in a introductory Computer Science course.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"A compiler's primary function is to compile, organize the compilation,
and go right back to compiling. It compiles basically only those things that
requre to be compiled, ignoring things that should not be compiled. The main
way a compiler compiles, is to compile the things to be compiled until the
compilation is complete."
