Giving yyparse() args / Yacc state?

Hi folks,


I have a C application with various "objects." Yes, I'm using structs
and whatnot to do the same basic thing as C++. Anyhow, lets say
something like this:


struct obj {
        int val1;
        int val2;
        etc...
}


and I want each object to be able to call yyparse() and have access to
its respective data. So I can have a little parser say things like:


(val1 > val2) | (va1 = val2)


and so on. But I don't want to have to mess with global variables if I
don't have to. One hack would be to reset a global "active_obj" to
point to the currently active object, but I'm wondering if I can set
things up like:


yyparse(obj *)


so that it can get passed in?


Advice / comments / etc ... appreciate. Please cc me via email if it's
not too much trouble.

[yyparse doesn't take any arguments. It should, but it doesn't. If you
really want it to, you can easily post-edit the generated y.tab.c. -John]
