I added -s and -r switches to Bison (the GNU yacc-compatible parser generator) which allow the user to specify how many shift/reduce conflicts and how many reduce/reduce conflicts are expected. No message is produced if the numbers specified are correct. I got tired of seeing every Makefile that used yacc say: @echo "expect 17 shift/reduce conflicts" yacc .... I've sent in the changes so they will probably appear in a future Bison release. -- {dasys1,ncoast,well,sun,ihnp4}!hoptoad!gnu gnu@postgres.berkeley.edu Alt.all: the alternative radio of the Usenet.
