Russ correctly points out that the problem lies with cpp and not with 8c, while careful inspection of the yacc sources including your correction to accept // does not reveal any way in which yacc can be held responsible. But I do not use cpp in the Go port so I have no idea why I encounter the same problem as Bakul. Just to be even more explicit, I used pcc to compile cmd/gc/mkbuiltin1.c and it failed, as expected. I have modified mkbuiltin1.c to compile under 8c now, the problem has been resolved. Weird, but I haven't yet reached a point where I can investigate this to greater depth. ++L
