Is YYLocation a struct?  If so, you should not use `new`, because that
incurs a GC allocation per construction.

If not, it probably should be made one, since as far as I can tell it's
only used for storing a start/end point for position, is not
polymorphic, and therefore does not need to be a class.

Ditto.
