Re: yacc samples?

Hello,


First of all, i don't whether anybody else has already replied to
this. I might have missed the mail as our mail server was down for
sometime in between.


I don't know how much this will help you in your requirement. But
still thought may be this way if the point i am giving is wrong, i will be
corrected by someone who knows it better.

The first part can be done with a rule of form :


if_statement : IF cond statement ENDIF
| IF cond statement ELSE statement ENDIF


where the capital lettered words like IF, ELSE and ENDIF stand for the
corresponding terminal symbol returned by lex as a token.


This won't be having any shift-reduce or reduce-reduce conflicts i
presume, as there is an end marker to the if statement in the form if
ENDIF.


For the second one, you can give a rule of form :


decl_statement : type var_list ';'


var_list : variable
                  | var_list ',' variable

I hope this will serve your purpose.

As such i don't know any site or any such source. It will be
useful for me also if anyone can give me a pointer.
