language grammars such as C and C++ (good lord) are way too complex
for the
purposes of learning Bison.
I'd really like to see a language with about 10 or 15 keywords
written as an
example. Granted, I know the answer - if I want to see it, I
should write it
myself, but who has time for documentation ;)
You don't use the whole grammars of say C++, but only selected
subparts, say for the type of expressions that you want. Don't try to
copy the C++ informal grammar-like stuff, because you will get into
trouble; just use it as an inspiration.
