I have noticed and corrected a number of portability problems with
byacc's generated parser, also adjusted things so that it does not
provoke a couple of gcc warnings that are not commonly requested but
that my project uses.
More specifically:
- stdlib.h is not available in pre-C89 environments. I made its
inclusion conditional on __STDC__ || __cplusplus, which is not
perfect but will do. Otherwise, I declare malloc and realloc by
hand.
- 'const' is not available either in K+R C. #define it to nothing
if neither __STDC__ nor __cplusplus is defined.
- Change the declarations of yyname[] and yyrule[] placed in y.code.c
in -r mode to match their actual definitions in y.tab.c.
- gcc can be asked to issue warnings if a function definition is
seen without a previous prototype - even if the definition is
written in prototype form. The project I'm using byacc with has
this warning turned on. I therefore added explicit prototypes for
both yygrowstack and yyparse, conditioned on __STDC__ ||
__cplusplus.
A patch is appended. Also, I don't have a patch for this, but I have
to change the line in the Makefile reading
MAN1=yacc.1 yyfix.1
to use MAN= instead, or yyfix.1 is not installed. This may be a
problem with my copy of pmake.
Please cc: me directly on any responses, I am not subscribed to this
list.
Thank you.
