Putting the in the .y file would not suffice, as those functions need  
to be put in a file compiled by the C++ associated C-compiler; one  
cannot then use C++ containers. If the C-parser is compiled using a C+ 
+ compiler, would it succeed, in view of that support for this has  
been terminated, then the parser stack will not invoke copy  
constructors when reallocating: it will only work with POD semantic  
types.
