The "p" might be convenient if both variables are to be used side

Because it will always be a pointer? Or because it will always be
an object?
Under C++, I think one should have:
namespace yy {
class stack;
...
}
So in order to keep multilingual similarity, that suggests just
naming it "yystack", without a "p". Names with a "p" added should
then be reserved for C implementation variables, but not in the
interface.
I don't believe yystack is part of the interface.
Under C++, one would be able to choose stack, with at least two
standard choices: std::vector, and std::deque.
