Can a yacc grammar have multiple entry points? For example, if I have
a grammar that can parse C++ method declarations, can I use it to
parse standalone method parameters? The knowledge of parsing the
parameters is obviously embedded in the method parser, so how to use
this knowledge to parse the parameters alone?


Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks
