Hi,
i'm using a bison based parser to read a pascal like description
language. The whole parser is inside a DLL, so it can be called from
different applications. If the parser recognizes an error, it returns it
perfect. But when i call the function again with a new (corrected) file,
it right there at the last error.


Does anyone knows a way to 'reset' the parser state ?


Any ideas are welcome !

to restart your lexer. -John]
