Making statement delimiter optional ...

[Ricardo Rafael]

Hi,

      I have managed to implement a script reentrant compiler with Flex 
and Bison. The language grammar is very similar to JavaScript (I could 
say it is almost 100% ECMA script compatible). I have used ';' as a 
statement delimiter.

   Are there any hints on the following: How can I quickly make the 
statement delimiter optional? I have already made some experiments but 
the amount of a) work involved (in rewriting the grammar) or b) the 
shift/reduce and reduce/reduce conflicts introduced are not worth the 
effort!

   I also have thought removing statement delimiter, but again, I 
introduced a lot of bison conflicts!

   Is there anyone who has had the same experience? Any help greatly 
appreciated!


Sincerely,

Ricardo Rafael.
