Hi,

I'd like to upgrade my flex/bison generated parser to a multi threaded
(pthreads) parser. I know that I have to create a reentrant flex
wrapper and use %pure_parser in bison.

I need to stop parsing (and do some other things) whenever a syntax
error occurs. However yyerror(...) does not have any parameter which
would help to find out in which thread the syntax error occured. I
could use pthread_self() and associate the necessary data with the
thread id, but this solution seems somewhat awkward. Is there a better
way to do it?

Thanks in advance,
