Hi,

in my quest to play parsing, I'm failing when I try to cope with
comments.

Here's an excerpt from my current file

     (define my-grammar
       (lalr-spec
        (start my-file)
        (grammar
         ;; boring grammar details elided
            )))
(define mach (make-lalr-machine aq-grammar))
     (define mtab (lalr-match-table mach))
     (define gen-lexer (make-lexer-generator mtab
                        #:comm-reader (make-comm-reader '(("#" . "\n")))))
     (define raw-parse (make-lalr-parser mach))
     (define (parse) (raw-parse (gen-lexer)))
;; (gen-lexer)
     (parse)

Comments are shell-like, from "#" to end of line. Grammar
works fine so-far, but when (parse) sees a hash-comment
(even just a one-line input

   # this is a comment

it panics:

     Backtrace:
     In ice-9/boot-9.scm:
       1736:10  6 (with-exception-handler _ _ #:unwind? _ # _)

nyacc/parse.scm:78:4: Throw to key `nyacc-error' with args `("~A:~A: parse failed at state ~A, on input ~S" "(unknown)" 1 0 " a comment")'.

I feel I'm doing something stupid. What can I do to understand
what's going on?

Thanks & cheers

make-comm-reader will not eat newlines at end of comment by default.
If you want the comment # ... \n to include the newline try adding #:eat-newline #t.
