This is a question about the standard Yacc tool distributed with Unix.


I notice that Yacc uses a #define named YYMAXDEPTH and that this value has
been set at 150.
(1) I notice that even for moderately nested constructs, this seems
insufficient. (I get a Yacc stack overflow). Has anybody else faced
the same problem ?
(2) If the answer to (1) is Yes, what is a reasonable value for
YYMAXDEPTH ?
