• getting AST from yacc

    From iwlnx@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 25 09:45:06 2023
    I am a bit old and do not learn as well as in the past. I have a very
    large yacc file that works fine.

    What I want is to produce an AST tree from the yacc .y file. I have read
    many things on the net

    about this but they all start at too high a level for me to grasp.

    Any help for an old slow old man (related to this problem)?

    [The short answer is that yacc doesn't do that, but it's not hard to write action
    code that builds a AST as it does the rule reductions. If you can find a copy of
    my "flex & bison" it has some examples that build AST. -John]
