Many thanks to all of you who have helped me with this one.


What perhaps not everyone realised is that just because I was using
lex and yacc, this didn't necessarily mean that I was using C or C++.


I am actually using TP Lex & Yacc, and writing in Object Pascal, so I
don't have any problems with the odd habits that C++ compilers have!


In the end, I solved the problem by implementing my own garbage
collector, which uses a bit of object oriented trickery and multiple
destructors. I'm rather proud of it <g>. For those of you who code in
Wirth related languages, you may like to take a look at the source,
which has been posted on comp.sources.delphi. I suspect some of you
may find it useful, because it's very compact, and easily portable.


Martin Harvey.
