Hello there,


I get the following Warning:


conflicts: 7 shift/reduce
pcode.y:64.12-66.5: warning: rule useless in parser due to conflicts:
$@1: /* empty */




is this a error?
why is it display?
give it a glue?


thanks
Jens
[Yes, it's an error. It's telling you that your grammar can't be
turned into a LALR parser, and the parser it did generate will never
reduce that rule. Solution: find the conflicts and fix them. -John]
