Shift/Reduce conflicts are not necessarily errors - constructs such as
nested IF produce them. Shift/Reduce conflicts are merely an
indication of ambiguity in the grammar.


In the following:


    if ( ... )
        if ( ... )
            statement1;
    else
        statement2;


indentation (which the parser ignores) makes it clear that the else is
attached to the outer IF (a reduction of the inner IF), but the ELSE
could equally well be attached to the inner IF (a shift).


The default behavior for (LA)?LR generators when faced with a
Shift/Reduce conflict is to shift so that more context can be
examined.


In any event, we need to see the errors/warnings to help you.
