Although metalua
(http://metalua.luaforge.net/) would error out when given incorrect Lua syntax, may be modifying/relaxing its internals is
the right approach for you (perhaps creating another 'token' type indicating possibly incorrect syntax )

Hi, folks
I need to write a lua-based Parser that can build and repair a Lua AST for the LuaEclipse project.
Although is relatively easy to create parsers with LPEG, error-detection and 'online' matching is a pain.
Besides, I am not familiar with all the issues of this particular problem, so I am looking for examples.
Therefore, I wonder if anyone has ever written an incremental parser for Lua that I could use as a reference.
Interesting papers on the subject are welcome too.
Thanks in advance!
