Yes of course, by inclusion of headers, in a very much common way. You can then manipulate shorter *.y and *.l docs, but this is not going to fix any Bison usage issue you are having.
If yours is a serious book, it should have made a small annex stating which versions of Flex and Bison the book examples are expecting. If it doesn’t, then nothing stops you from investigating in which years was the book written, and guessing and eventually figuring out the Flex and Bison versions used by the examples in it. If you want an easy quick start, you might consider useful either to fall back to some other book which would use Yacc and Lex instead, and then use Bison in Yacc mode until you know the basics enough to be able to cope with more advanced contemporary Bison use; or directly fast forward and use the current Bison and Flex documentation. Considering you are having some trouble to use Make too, maybe your case would fit better sticking in C and the Yacc mode. > On 17 Feb 2019, at 14:17, workbe...@gmx.at <workbe...@gmx.at> wrote: > > Is there a way i can put my c source code not inside one the the lexer.l or > parser.y files ? so i can keep tem separate from the rules ? > > > best regards! > > On 17.02.19 13:24, workbe...@gmx.at wrote: >> For a beginner it's hard to find what i've to write, on what documentation >> should i refer to ? to original bison & flex manual respectiveley ? >> >> >> best regards! >> >> On 17.02.19 13:22, workbe...@gmx.at wrote: >>> So my Bison and Flex code is out of date ? >>> >>> >>> On 17.02.19 13:04, Uxio Prego wrote: >>>> Hi, >>>> review your Makefile, it has errors.
