This will involve a lot of dirty tricks (globals etc) in Yacc.
If you need to use inherited attributes and if you would like
to use some other parser generator, try PCCTS. (see
comp.compilers.tools.pccts for details).


This is a (top down parser)-generator that is more or less designed
to make life easy using inherited attributes.
