yacc gurus

[Profetas]

Hi
I have been trying to add a mid-rule to my yacc grammar but I always get
shift and reduce conflicts

pel-0.0.3.y contains 12 shift/reduce conflicts and 12 reduce/reduce
conflicts.

does anobody know other way? I was using yacc and then I tried bison but
they are the same, I have done what is in the manual but there they have a
very limited mid-rule topic

Thanks The Prophet

You may get better results by asking this in comp.compilers.

And this is a C question in what way?

His point is that questions about yacc are off-topic here in
comp.lang.c.

Since yacc is written in C, and generates C code as output, it's not
entirely unreasonable to assume that questions about it are topical --
but they're not. Since this is a very busy newsgroup, we're a bit
sensitive about topicality.

Either comp.compilers or (for bison) one of the gnu.* newsgroups might
be able to help you.

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.

By this logic, since cfront (or f2c or p2c or any of the other xxx to C
converters) is written in C and generates C code as output it's not
entirely unreasonable to assume that questions about it are topical.

Right. Which is why it could surprise a newbie to discover that
questions about cfront, like questions about yacc, are not topical.
Read for comprehension, Dan. (Didn't someone quite recently warn
you that you were flailing around annoying people, and you ought to
stick to the good C-related answers you are /good/ at providing?)

He did not argued that such logic is valid, he just showed why some
people might consider those questions topical.

Since when "it is not entirely unreasonable" is supposed to mean "it is
illogical"?
