Makefile.yacc - Not part of the regular stella build! YaccParser.cxx - C++ wrapper for generated parser, includes hand-coded lexer YaccParser.hxx - Include in user code, declares public "methods" (actually functions) calctest.c - Not part of stella! Used for testing the lexel/parser. module.mk - Used for regular Stella build stella.y - Yacc/Bison source for parser y.tab.c, y.tab.h - Generated parser. NOT BUILT AUTOMATICALLY! I've only tested stella.y with GNU bison 1.35 and (once) with Berkeley Yacc 1.9. Hopefully your favorite version will work, too :) Even though they're generated, y.tab.c and .h are in SVN. This is so that people who don't have a local copy of bison or yacc can still compile Stella. If you modify stella.y, you MUST run "make -f Makefile.yacc" in this directory. This will regenerate y.tab.c and y.tab.h. Do this before "svn commit". If you're hacking the parser, you can test it without the rest of Stella by running "make -f Makefile.yacc calctest" in this directory, then running calctest with an expression as its argument: ./calctest '2+2' = 4 If you're trying to benchmark the lexer/parser, try adding -DBM to the g++ command that builds calctest.
