  > Who knows how to teach yacc and lex to communicate without globals.


  I use static globals, when needed.


        If I really want it only available for lex and yacc. A static global
in a %{ %} section at the top of the yacc file and a #include "lex.yy.c"
in the final C section of the yacc file does it easily. if you don't
mind a copy of lex.yy.c being kept.


      I usually use a header file containing a wrapper macro that
defines a readable function name into some strange name function only
when a preprocessor constant is defined, otherwise the macro expands
to nothing or 0. using a static global in the intial C section of
the lex file and a short function in the final C section, makes the
communication one way and controlled better than a straight global
access would.
