Pardon the cross-posting, this is partly a request and partly discussion. I am writing a translator for changing files of type1 into files of type2. This involves some heavy semantic work, not simple lexical or syntactic resuffling. I am writing in lex and yacc. The yacc file has 181 terminals, 191 nonterminals 399 grammar rules and 803 states, plus several hundred lines of C code to perform the semantic action. Naturally, anything this big is bound to have bugs. But dbx can't help me - it can't operate on the output of yacc (or at least I can't figure out how to get it to). So what I need is either advice or another debugger. (If you're giving advice or other discussion, please edit the newsgroups: line. Email also welcome.) -- Alan Wexelblat ARPA: WEX@MCC.COM UUCP: {seismo, harvard, gatech, pyramid, &c.}!sally!im4u!milano!wex "Oh well, a touch of grey, Kinda suits you anyway."
