We have a number of libraries that use flex and bison. They used to use lex and yacc - some ported without any modifications. Of particular note, one library relies on recursive calls to yyparse, which with yacc required a lot of extra bookkeeping for the global variables. Bison is better in this regard because most of the variables are on the stack, which makes recursive use a no-brainer. -------------------------------------------- Paul Berrevoets paul@halcyon.ca Halcyon Inc. http://www.halcyon.ca -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
