Loops using flex/bison..

[Matthew Tedder]

Hi,

  I wrote a little interpreter that's like a bucket with a big hole in the 
bottom.  I connected a flex-based lexer with a bison-based parser but don't 
know how this combination is supposed to be able to support loops?

  Is there a way to do this other than having flex output pcode into an array 
and having a special program feed that to the parser?

  All I need are FOR, WHILE, and GOTO/LABEL loops..  I figured out a goofy, 
but effective way to make my IF .. THEN .. conditionals execute statements 
only when a condition is set.  But I feel very inefficient having to put 
every single statement on the right side of bison's rules in an if(..) 
condition..

  It's a little BASIC interpreter.  I have some great ideas for enhancing it. 
 I also thought about using flex to translate BASIC to C.  Would it be 
possible to turn such a thing easily into a gcc front-end?
