Passing a parameter to yylex thru yyparse

Hello,


I'm writing a parser using Bison 1.2.4 and Flex 2.5.1.


I'm calling yyparse from a C function, and I'd like to pass a parameter
(void*) to yylex. I want yylex to set up my parameter while scanning. I
don't want the parameter to be global.


So I've got to pass the parameter to yyparse, and then yyparse has to
pass it to yylex.
I don't know if it's possible to do so, without modifying to much the
generated parser. If possible, I'd like to modify only the grammar file.


Thanks for any help.
