Afternoon, I was doing my assignment about how to use yacc and the thing is that I don't know how to properly include a header file on a .y file. From what I've seen to various pages which describes how to write a .y file, there is nothing I've done wrong about writing this .y file. So please, help me!

These are the error message I got

embedded@embedded-P15xEMx:~/Project/Compiler$ yacc parser.y
parser.y:19.10-11: error: symbol LP is used, but is not defined as a token and has no rules
 F  :LP E RP    {$$ = $2;}
     ^^
parser.y:13.12-15: error: symbol PLUS is used, but is not defined as a token and has no rules
 E  :E PLUS T   {$$ = $1 + $3;}
       ^^^^
parser.y:19.15-16: error: symbol RP is used, but is not defined as a token and has no rules
 F  :LP E RP    {$$ = $2;}
          ^^
parser.y:16.12-15: error: symbol STAR is used, but is not defined as a token and has no rules
 T  :T STAR F   {$$ = $1 * $3;}
       ^^^^

And this is the header file I included

#ifndef _PARSER_H_
#define _PARSER_H_

    #include <stdio.h>

    #define PLUS 1
    #define STAR 2
    #define LP 3
    #define RP 4
    #define number 5

#endif

Solution

  • The token symbols can't be declared by yourself, you have to use Yacc to do it, like

    %token PLUS
    

    etc.
