How would one compile the generated output? You're assuming that the resulting code will be built on OpenBSD. That's a bad assumption. The code generated by lex and yacc should be as portable as possible. True, I phrased that poorly. What I'm assuming is that the code will be built by a compiler that supports the const keyword. Or in other words, if you're using a 25 year old cross compiler, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect you to dig up a 25 year old cross yacc either (or the yacc from openbsd 5.4). Who is actually using yacc to generate code for a compilter that doesn't accept const?

Sudo 1.7.x still compiles on KR, mostly for the benefit of the bundled HP-UX compiler that has C89 support disabled. - todd
