[WebIDL] Add mode to preprocess-idls.pl to validate fast regex based scanner with the normal IDL parser
Comment 1 Sam Weinig 2020-09-06 15:14:36 PDT
I keep finding myself running into issues with preprocess-idls.pl, mostly due to its very optimistic parsing of IDL files not matching the actual IDL grammar.

One day, I would like to remove this alternative parsing, but as a first step, I want to add a mode I can run preprocess-idls.pl in that uses the real IDL parser to validate that the regex based one is getting the right results.

Oh bummer, looks like I can't 'use experimental 'smartmatch';'
