Compilers have codewalkers in their front ends; so do cross-reference
|

generators and some database front ends. Other utility programs that try
|
||
to do too much with source code may turn into codewalkers. As in

require a codewalker to implement.</span>”</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="codes.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../C.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="coefficient-of-X.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">codes </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> coefficient of X</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
