Hi


What kind of Abstract Data Type would you suggest for an identifier
table, that has to hold all identifier names and their types (not
content).


Right now I'm doing it with a Binary Tree ("it" as in programming).
What do experienced compiler writers use ? I've also considered a hash
table in which each entry is the head of a linked list.


Thanks, and bye
