Extend your lexer with comprehensive error handling and reporting.
Create an error reporting system:
LexerError struct with message, line, columnHandle these error cases:
/* */123abc patternsImplement error tokens:
TOKEN_ERROR with descriptive messageAdd functions:
lexer_get_errors(): Return array of collected errorslexer_has_errors(): Check if any errors occurredlexer_error_count(): Return number of errorsClang became the preferred C++ compiler largely on the strength of its diagnostics, and that quality starts in the lexer: unterminated strings and stray bytes must be reported with exact positions instead of crashing. Production tools like ESLint and rust-analyzer must keep lexing after an error so one typo does not blank out all feedback in your editor.
