Dear c.c.


I'm writing a compiler and an interpreter and is currently at the
parsing stage where symbol table mgmt is to be introduced.


My question is simply: what data structure is typically chosen?
Hash-tables? Trees? The program lang beeing parsed has syntax and
semantics pretty close to C++.


Also, any suggestions on how to best organize the runtime structure
for such a language - I understand how to do it for a structural
language, but I'm a bit unsure about how to handle OO features such as
MI, overloading and polymorphism.


Thanks in advance!
