paper on error correction algorithm in Emacs ada-mode

paper on error correction algorithm in Emacs ada-mode

[Stephen Leake]

I've posted a draft paper on the error correction algorithm used in the
Emacs ada-mode parser at
https://stephe-leake.org/ada/error_correction_algorithm.pdf. I'd
appreciate any comments.

I've read it, thanks.  I'm unsure what kind of comments you are asking
for: most of the paper deals with various algorithmic aspects of
tweaking parse trees in order to facilitate support for IDE features
in presence of parse errors, something which I guess is mainly of
interest for people who work on implementing such tolerant parsers?

Anything to make the paper better; more accessible, more useful, as well
as more correct.

Yes, that is the intended audience.
