Here's the project page: http://github.com/aemoncannon/antlr-elisp/tree/experimental The generated parser for ActionScript 3 is over 30k lines long and fails to byte-compile with the message: as3_elispParser.el:31515:33:Error: Invalid character: 256, #o400, #x100 Here's the source in question: http://aemon.com/file_dump/as3_elispParser.el I don't think the error is actually related to the content of the file, as deleting arbitrary chunks seems to make the error go away. There are lots of "Warning: reference to free variable ...." warnings, but I understand where those are coming from and I'm not worried about them. Bear in mind there are *lots* of macros being expanded. Most of the forms with the prefix 'a3el' are macros. Any ideas?
