Walter, why don't you use makeheaders?

It is a lightweight fast program, which eliminates the need of total.h and reduces recompile time drastically. Besides, it makes life easier by not having a need to consider #include salad - it simply makes all public declarations available to a set of C files, pre-sorted! Try it out. It should compile and work on every 32-bit ANSI C system. So far I have made very good experiences with it. The only adverse effect was, it has hidden the source of a couple of declaration mismatches, that is it was clear what the problem is at once, but you have to grep to find where the false declaration source is. A very minor problem if grep is inegrated into the IDE.

It also appears that the guys have also written a BISON replacement which is much faster and supports LALR grammars.

I think it requieres makeheaders, but I guess it can be changed easily.

The source is tiny, well-commented and legible, not overbloated and seems to be OK. I made minor changes to makeheadres and they appeared to be easy. They have also written a number of other interesting things.

-i.

It's a nice tool, but I am congenitally unable to use any tool I didn't write myself (why do you think I wrote a compiler in the first place? <g>).

LOL! A man after my own heart.

Well, maybe writing another compiler for a better language fixing a necessity in loads of tools used in C and C++ is a more sane decision. Altogether with making everything better.

BTW, the absence of comments in your code sucks! I'm not very fond of reading code.
