I=B4ve run the tests with the same Beta-16 but didn=B4t get the same =
results, in fact the code generated was correct, I also ran the test =
case with DJPP byacc and got good code too.
I used a 16Mb 486dx Win95 box.

Asunto:     	Bug in byacc/cygwin32

Windows-95, Pentium, Beta-16

A %union in a yacc grammer produces bad output from byacc.
I suspect that the problem lies with buffers being output
at the wrong times in cygwin32 rather than a bug in byacc
itself, but I only have the cygwin32 version of byacc to try...
I have reproduced this in two large grammers. Here is a
small case.

this grammer produces correct output:
---
%{
extern int yylex ();
extern void yyerror (char *);
%}

%token A B

%%

test_program:		test_program_sequence
		;
test_program_sequence:	test_program_sequence stmt
		|	/* empty */
		;
stmt:			A
		|	B
		;

%%
---

Adding a %union:
---
%{
extern int yylex ();
extern void yyerror (char *);
%}

%union=20
	{
	long INTEGER;
	double FLOAT;
	}

%token A B

%%

test_program:		test_program_sequence
		;
test_program_sequence:	test_program_sequence stmt
		|	/* empty */
		;
stmt:			A
		|	B
		;

%%
---
and compiling with "byacc -d -o test.c test.y"
causes errors in the .c andf .h files. Here is the
..h file from the grammer above:
---
#define A 257
#define B 258
typedef union=20
	{
	long INTEGER;
	double FLOAT;
	}yerror (char *);
#line 6 "test1.y"
typedef union=20
	{
	long INTEGER;
	double FLOAT;
	} YYSTYPE;
 YYSTYPE;
extern YYSTYPE yylval;
---
Note that the %union generates two typedefs, with the first
walking onto the user-code in the grammer. e.g. the "yerror (char *)"
at the end of the irst typedef is a fragment of the code from
%{
extern int yylex ();
extern void yyerror (char *);
%}
