Re: compiling bison generated .c file in visual studio

[Ramaswamy]

Hi,

    The problem is that when its is required to have pointer to the same structure there are 2 options -

 

typedef struct xyz

{

    ...

    struct xyz *pParent;...

} xyz;

 

    As u see we have to use the struct keyword as well when withing the same func. Otherwise u may do as follows -

 

typedef struct xyz xyz;

 

struct xyz

{

    ...

    xyz *pParent;

};

 

    How is this file generates by bison. I presume that its only used. I do not see where we have the problem here with the bison generated file. Bye.

Subject: compiling bison generated .c file in visual studio

I am trying to compile the file that I generated by running my grammar file through bison.

When I try and build this file in Windows XP Visual Studio 6 I get over 100 errors. Please let me know what the correct sequence of steps are to be able to build the .c file generated by bison and where all the supporting files should be located for linking. Thanks.
