Re: Shift reduce errors due to embedded actions

[David Durham]

I short (and a bit over simplified), inserting the extra mid-rule
actions causes bison to have to execute that action before going too
much further in the input (1 token or 1 reduction, not sure)... So if
some rule cannot be distinguished from another rule up to that point of
the mid-rule action, it can't say, do you action, then realize, 'oh I
didn't need to do that...' then undo the results of that action...
