Re: Bison for CL?

[Skef.Wholey@SKEF.SLISP.CS.CMU.EDU]

Ah, one additional note about the only (I think) mildly obscure part of
hooking up Lisp to Bison.  The lisp code in the grammar file has to
conform to the C-like Bison grammar, so Lisp single quotes don't work so
hot.  Instead, I just use back-quote, so 'foo should be written as `foo.

So, in my gram.y file, you'll find the production:

upper_limit : ICONST		{ (setq $$ $1) }
	    | ID_NAME		{ (setq $$ $1) }
	    | '*'		{ (setq $$ `*) }
	    ;

This is something to note, anyway, if anyone ever writes any
documentation for lusers.
