Yeah your right about that! There are so many implmentations at least
bison and flex are the most common now ;).

Ah yeah i tried to get that whole re-define to work that gdb uses but
i couldn't ever get it working. I see what you mean! It takes alot of
playing around that you would really want though.


There are so many different ways of doing it, but if we think from
automakes perspective, it would be really nice to keep it so as you
dont care about automake compiles your code. so as your still able to
just add in the sources. Do you think there is a way to make ylwrap
generate this whole redefine of symbols to make the -prefix option
standard within automake and ylwrap!

So maby we could have a

AM_YFLAGS = -d -p prefix
AM_LFLAGS = -pprefix


So we make sure ylwrap is able to accept the prefix by generating a
header with the red-define of symbols
and add it to each of the sources could be a way to go.

Hmm i might make up a test case for this just to keep my head on
straight :P
