Very correct. I am working hard to figure out why Byacc can't be used to create cc1plus's parser. In fact simply upgrading /usr/src/contrib/bison (which is version 1.25) to version 1.26a causes me the same problem as Byacc. There is a single line I can comment out of vers 1.26a, 1.27, and 1.28 that will allow me to use the newer Bison's to compile -CURRENT's cc1plus. I will either upgrade /usr/src/contrib/bison to 1.28 or remove it completely. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
