I only had a quick look at the parser, and one thing that strikes me is:
+Patterns:
+ /* EMPTY */
+ | Patterns Pattern
+ | Pattern
+ ;
+
+Pattern:
+ C_INCLUDE include_object pattern { include_item(priv, $2, $3); }
It seems confusing to mix Pattern(s) (the rules) and pattern (the token).
Maybe instead using Include(s) or Item(s) on the bison side, and/or
name_pattern on the lexer side?
