Changes (by Roland Haas):

status:

wontfix (was new)

Namely it still attempts to parse the files with piraha but then throws away the result.

The user visible side effect is that if piraha aborts (due to malformed ccl file that the old parser would have accepted) then one can no longer compile the code.

This is a problem if one wants to do some bisection to find errors in a mixed old / new code basis.

We should either remove the old parser completely or make it possible to completely skip any piraha parsing.

Keyword: piraha

Comment (by Roland Haas):

The non-piraha based parser was removed in git hash 2e0fc750 "Cactus: This PR removes the old Perl-based CCL parser." of cactus
