   * **SANITY_CHECK**: By default, the parser generator does some various sanity checks before generating the various files. This setting in the legacy JavaCC tool allowed you to turn this off. (//Why would anybody turn this off?//) This setting is gone and is now effectively always true.   * **SANITY_CHECK**: By default, the parser generator does some various sanity checks before generating the various files.

   * **CACHE_TOKENS**: I never even understood what the point of this setting was. It must have been some kind of //speculative// peephole optimization, except I don't think it was even correct. There would be problems with switches of lexical state in some cases. Also, I doubt it offered any noticeable performance gain. The setting is now gone and is always effectively false. (Which was the default before, which everybody was using anyway.)   * **CACHE_TOKENS**: I never even understood what the point of this setting was.

   * **TRACK_TOKENS** : There is no real reason for this setting to exist any more, since, by default, Tokens are added to the AST and they have their line/column information. In fact, all Node objects have line/column information.   * **TRACK_TOKENS** : There is no real reason for this setting to exist any more, since, by default, Tokens are added to the AST and they have their line/column information.
