Speaking of yacc bugs, how come nobody has complained about this one? In the parser skeleton there are a few lines like this #ifndef YYSTYPE #define YYSTYPE int #endif When the %union feature is used, this creates a union typedef for YYSTYPE. Unfortunately, a typedef is not a #define and the default type isn't overidden. In the end I sent y.tab.c through a sed script to remove the #define. Maybe people don't use %union that much? It really is nifty. Ken

I am using HP-UX on an HP9000s500. This is a derivative of Ma Bell Un*x. Perhaps your yacc is broken. Charles Brown hplabs!hp-pcd!charles HP-UX is probably a trademark of Hewlett-Packard. Un*x is not a trademark of Ma Bell.
