shift/reduce and reduce/reduce conflicts

[Valter G. Nogueira Jr.]

I am developing a Visual Basic parser and since it was my first non-tutorial based work I was pretty happy about it.

 

Since I was unaware of option -v I have got a mess of conflicts.

 

Now, I have hundreds of conflicts which I have to purge out my code.

 

I what make me asthonised gcc-java(v3.3.2)'s parse.y has NONE conflicts.

 

Is that normal?

 

Does have any tips about vanishing these conflicts away?

 

May I run bison on a file without type checks and actions just to check the grammar (right before to put C code in it)?

 

Thanks
