Name clash with token type BEGIN

[August Karlstrom]

Hi,

According to section 1.2 in the Bison manual

"A terminal symbol that stands for a particular keyword in the language
should be named after that keyword converted to upper case".

When I follow this convention however, I get a syntax error and a
warning in parser.h where the token type for the keyword BEGIN is defined:

error: expected identifier before ‘(’ token
warning: "BEGIN" redefined

If I change

%token BEGIN

in parser.y to

%token TOKEN_BEGIN

I get no errors.

Any clues?


Regards,

August
