Modifying Berkeley Yacc version 1.8 so that its output code
compiles under g++ (v2.5.7) only requires changing one line
of Yacc's source code. I'm using the modified Yacc to
facilitate a compiler I'm writing in C++. Here's a diff:


            diff skeleton.old ../byacc++.dir/skeleton.c
            80c80
            < " extern char *getenv();",
            ---
            > " extern char *getenv(char *name);",


This modification is, of course, quite different from creating a tool
which actually produces C++ classes as output.
