Re: warning: a ';' might be needed at the end of action code

Hi John,

Please, let's stay on help-bison.

Just have a look at data/skeletons.  Take yacc.c for instance, and remove
what you don't want to keep.  Then run bison --skeleton=my-yacc.c.

There is a catch though: the API for the skeletons is not guaranteed
to remain as is, there is no commitment of backward compatibility in
the future.  However, this API does not change a lot.

Wow... This is amazing...

Can't you generate C and compile C?

Your skeleton might be able to improve this part too in fact.
The translation of $$ and $2 etc. is under the control of the
skeleton.  For instance for C output, we have:

# b4_symbol_value(VAL, [SYMBOL-NUM], [TYPE-TAG])
# ----------------------------------------------
# See README.
m4_define([b4_symbol_value],
[m4_ifval([$3],
          [($1.$3)],
          [m4_ifval([$2],
                    [b4_symbol_if([$2], [has_type],
                                  [($1.b4_symbol([$2], [type]))],
                                  [$1])],
                    [$1])])])


# b4_lhs_value(SYMBOL-NUM, [TYPE])
# --------------------------------
# See README.
m4_define([b4_lhs_value],
[b4_symbol_value(yyval, [$1], [$2])])


# b4_rhs_value(RULE-LENGTH, POS, [SYMBOL-NUM], [TYPE])
# ----------------------------------------------------
# See README.
m4_define([b4_rhs_value],
[b4_symbol_value([yyvsp@{b4_subtract([$2], [$1])@}], [$3], [$4])])
