Hello--
A nit about the Bison manual for 2.1:
First, in section 10.1.1 of the bison info manual, it
says that if you use the lalr1.cc skeleton, you'll get a list of
files.
This isn't totally correct. It doesn't mention that you have to
call your grammar "something.yy" to get the list of files mentioned.
If you should be so careless, as to name your grammar "something.y",
you will get
something.tab.c instead of something.cc
and if you specify -vd, you'll get
something.tab.h instead of something.hh.
Not only this, without -vd, (I guess just the -d part), you'll
NOT get any .h file.
And, the .tab.c file will automatically include the .tab.h file if -
d is
set; otherwise, if no -d option is set, no inclusion of the .tab.h
file
(which is good).
So, I think you ought to mention the importance of naming the input
properly, as the difference between what happens with a file name of
something.yy and a file name of something.y is pretty big!!
And, if you name your grammar input file with .yy, then you'll get a
gedcom55.tab.hh whether you specify a -d or not.
Now, I noted after my first try, that things were not going as
planned,
so I referred back to the info manual, and spotted the fact
that .yy was
used in the example (calc++), so I changed the name of the grammar
input
file, and voila, things work as advertised.
Some of this great detail might be mentioned elsewhere in the info
manual, but the relevant details being repeated (or at least
referenced)
in this section would have been helpful.
