Hi folks,


I have a problem with some yacc productions. I remember that yacc can
parse any source file using a recursive production


- with a fixed amount of stack space if the production is
    left recursive
- with a amount of stack space linear to the source file size if the
    production is right recursive


is this correct or was it the other way around ?


Thanks a lot
Christian
