Re: Two pass compiler using YACC?

I have a number of library routines that need to parse different forms of
input, and I ran into the same problem (multiple yacc parsers in one program).
The brute force solution I used was in my makefile :


#-------------------------------------------------------
parse.c: definition.y
yacc definition.y
sed -f Makestatic <y.tab.c >$@
rm y.tab.c
#-------------------------------------------------------
where Makestatic is:
#-------------------------------------------------------
/^extern int yychar/d
/^extern short yyerrflag/d
/^YYSTYPE/s//static &/
/^short yyexca/s//static &/
/^short yyact/s//static &/
/^short yypact/s//static &/
/^short yypgo/s//static &/
/^short yyr1/s//static &/
/^short yyr2/s//static &/
/^short yychk/s//static &/
/^short yydef/s//static &/
/^int yydebug/s//static &/
/^int yychar/s//static &/
/^int yynerrs/s//static &/
/^short yyerrflag/s//static &/
/^yyparse()/s//static &/
#-------------------------------------------------------


I then #include "parse.c" in the controlling code (instead of compiling it as
a separate module) and supply static versions of any of the externs deleted
in the script. This all works (at least on my Sun3s & 4s), the only price you
pay is two (or more) copies of the parsing code.
