Did you ever have a large source file, with #include misspelled as
#incldue, or a missing semicolon after a struct definition, and when you
compile it you get an error message about that, but then also a thousand
additional error messages because the compiler wouldn't give up, and
kept reading the whole thing, reporting every expression that doesn't
parse because the types are all messed up?

comp.lang.c can be like that.

Here we got a poster whose brain is missing a semicolon on line 17, but
instead of ending on that judgement, we imitate that optimistic
compiler, patiently reading the jumbled expressions and finding the
little pieces that are grammatical enough to reply to, pointing out
every mistake we can find, oblivious to the irrelevance of it all.
