Re: Bitwise confusion?

[<tonyp@...>]

And for those who are more Pascal oriented (i.e., not equal is <> which I 
personally find more logical than !=), the case '<' can be changed to:

case '<': {
 next(ls);
 if (check_next1(ls, '=')) return TK_LE;
 else if (check_next1(ls, '<')) return TK_SHL;
 else if (check_next1(ls, '>')) return TK_NE;
 else return '<';
}

It's the lexer that needs to be hacked and it's pretty easy;
just add this in function llex near to "case '~'":

     case '!': {
       next(ls);
       if (check_next1(ls, '=')) return TK_NE;
       else return '!';
     }
