Subject: eg bison errors To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com In-Reply-To: <4.3.1.2.20011221154040.0239bef0@pop.ma.ultranet.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hello, Please point me to the appropriate group or forum for asking this question. Thank you. I'm using bison 1.28 and flex 2.5.4 for compilation. To better my understanding of Bison, I would like to see some good bison grammars that compile successfully. I particularly need help understanding yyparse, yylex, and other pertinent yy commands to successfully build a pascal-like compiler. The lexer is for the most part written. The scanner (parser) is what remains. If I can get some working examples on bison, that would help me see that my bison application is working and help me to use bison well enough to allow command line reading and writing. I have used the examples for arithmetic & leo from this university course site. The main course site: http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~main/proglang/programs/prog01.html The example files for lexer and parser: http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~main/proglang/ http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~main/proglang/examples/ By compiling downloaded the O'Reilly examples, the 'implicit declaration' error resulted. I think that the error means that the function needs to be prototyped in the bison or flex file _or_ a library file such as #include needs to be included. Here is an error that I received when I compiled ch1-05.l & ch1-05.y using Bison 1.28 under cygwin. /bfeg/egoreilly/c15> $ g++ -Wall -c -gstabs ch1-05.tab.c /usr/share/bison.simple: In function `int yyparse()': /usr/share/bison.simple:361: implicit declaration of function `int free(...)' /usr/share/bison.simple:432: implicit declaration of function `int yylex(...)' Error: /usr/share/bison.simple:361: implicit declaration of function `int free(...)' To get rid of this error, I included #include inside of the bison file. Error: /usr/share/bison.simple:432: implicit declaration of function `int yylex(...)' To get rid of this error, I think that I can prototype int yylex(); inside of the bison file. That seems to work. Error: /usr/share/bison.simple:643: warning: previous implicit declaration of `yyerror' ch1-05.y:38: warning: `yyerror' was previously implicitly declared to return `int' This one about yyerror is perplexing indeed. :) I don't understand why yyerror is having a problem right now. Do you think that I might need to include other header files or prototypes to get rid of the yyerror? I wasn't getting this error message before, but now I am. How might I fix this error? ch1-05.l:454: warning: `void yyunput(int, char *)' defined but not used /usr/lib/libfl.a(libmain.o)(.text+0xd):libmain.c: undefined reference to `yylex' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Below is what I see at the cygwin prompt when I compile. $ flex -t ch1-05.l > ch1-05.cxx $ bison -d ch1-05.y $ gcc -Wall -gstabs -DFLEX_DEBUG ch1-05.cxx -lfl -o c1 ch1-05.l:454: warning: `void yyunput(int, char *)' defined but not used /usr/lib/libfl.a(libmain.o)(.text+0xd):libmain.c: undefined reference to `yylex' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status $ gcc -Wall -c -gstabs ch1-05.cxx ch1-05.l:454: warning: `void yyunput(int, char *)' defined but not used $ gcc -Wall -c -gstabs ch1-05.tab.c /usr/share/bison.simple: In function `yyparse': /usr/share/bison.simple:358: warning: implicit declaration of function `yyerror' ch1-05.y: At top level: ch1-05.y:31: warning: return type of `main' is not `int' ch1-05.y:38: warning: type mismatch with previous implicit declaration /usr/share/bison.simple:643: warning: previous implicit declaration of `yyerror' ch1-05.y:38: warning: `yyerror' was previously implicitly declared to return `int' $ gcc -Wall -gstabs ch1-05.tab.o ch1-05.lex.o -lfl -o c15 gcc: ch1-05.lex.o: No such file or directory ===== Fractal A. fractala AT yahoo DOT com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
