Hi All,
        I've been doing some work with Bison, and I was wondering if
anybody has some pointers on placing error productions. With what I
am currently doing, the errors cascade in odd ways.
        Are there any good books on YACC/Bison that have chapters on error
productions?


Thanks!

[I'm currently redoing the O'Reilly lex&yacc book, but the error handling
discussion still isn't as complete as I'd like. Does anyone have some good
examples of doing error recovery in yacc? Mostly you see variants of the
simple examples in Johnson's original paper. BTW, many old versions of AT&T
yacc have a bug that makes error recovery fail. See message 92-02-049. -John]
