Hi there,


Sure !

I've downloaded bison-1.875c, installed it (it compiled cleanly on my Slackware
9.1 / gcc 3.2.2;  all tests returned "OK").

I've tried bison 1.875c, and the "bison -t -d -l --report=all ircparser.y"
step DID complete gracefully (Wow!  I got impressed but not seeing any errors
:-)):

________________________________________________________________________
ircparser.y: conflicts: 7 shift/reduce, 7 reduce/reduce
________________________________________________________________________

The compilation step also worked great:

________________________________________________________________________
gcc -o "ircparser" "ircparser.tab.c" "jbtcore_scanner.c" -DYYERROR_VERBOSE=1
-g
address@hidden:~/projects/jbtparser.bison$
________________________________________________________________________


Great !

Everything seems ok for translation/compilation bugs in my case for now!

Now as I'm still developing this grammar, I can't test much of the %destructor
functionality in runtime for now, but I will give more feedback about its
behaviour if I find anything suspect when I get further.

Don't hesitate to contact me on this topic, if I can be of any help for tests.

Is any new release of Bison planned soon ?


Great work, guys !  Congrats! :)
