Hello,
I'm new to bison, first of all I've tried to write a simple "hello-world" like
program using flex/bison.
All I want is to see "boom!" message after reading two MLAH tokens, which
corresponds to input string of the same name i.e. "mlah".
This works fine, I'm able to see "boom!" message after typing mlah twice, the
things which I really don't get is why I see "syntax errror" once mlah is
entered third time? What I expected is the situation in which I see "boom!"
every two "mlah" occurences.
Can anybody please explain me what's going on?
$ cat fb.l
%{
#include "fb.y.h"
%}
%%
mlah {return MLAH;}
.* {}
%%
$ cat fb.y
%{
#include <stdio.h>
yydebug=1;
%}
%debug
%token MLAH
%%
boom: MLAH MLAH {printf("boom!\n");}
;
%%
$ cat fb.output
