Summary

0000017: ocamlyacc loops

Description

Full_Name: Markus Mottl
Version: 2.99
OS: SunOS 5.6
Submission from: alford.dai.ed.ac.uk (129.215.25.74)

Hello,

I have just found a bug in ocamlyacc which makes it loop
forever while eating up memory. The following short file
demonstrates this:

file: foo.mly
-------------
%type < int
> t
-------------

The intention was to split up somewhat longer declarations
over several lines for readability. Obviously, ocamlyacc
cannot handle multi-line type declarations.

A workaround is to declare the type separately elsewhere
and then refer to the corresponding name in the type
declaration for the parser entry point.

Best regards,
Markus Mottl
