this is all from the README.txt along with sample code that demonstrates the problem i put up on https://github.com/GorillaSapiens/bison_glr_bug
==== # bison_glr_bug ######## the bug essentially, i believe the Bison glr-parser is handing me the wrong yylloc and yytext under some circumstances. in my code... language.ypp: 805 iconst : YYINTEGER 806 { 807 $$ = 0; 808 printf("===> %s:%d source %d:%d '%s'\n", __FILE__, __LINE__, yylineno, yylloc.first_column, yytext); 809 assert(yytext[0] != ','); 810 } 811 ; language.l: 35 I_ZERO ([0]) 36 I_NONZERO ([1-9][0-9]*) 37 INTEGER {I_ZERO}|{I_NONZERO} [...] 92 {INTEGER} {⏎ 93 flexdebug(__LINE__, yytext, (int) YYINTEGER, yylineno, yylloc.first_column);⏎ 94 return YYINTEGER;⏎ 95 }⏎ As you can see, the yytext for an YYINTEGER should **NEVER** contain a ','. But yet, i'm seeing this happen (see below). ######## how to reproduce $ git clone https://github.com/GorillaSapiens/bison_glr_bug.git [...] $ make [...] $ ./language program.txt .l line 88, 'b', 258, source 1:1 .l line 108, '=', 61, source 1:3 .l line 88, 'a', 258, source 1:5 .l line 108, '<', 60, source 1:6 .l line 93, '1', 299, source 1:7 .l line 108, ',', 44, source 1:8 ===> language.ypp:808 source 1:0 ',' language: language.ypp:809: YYRESULTTAG yyuserAction(yyRuleNum, int, yyGLRStackItem*, yyGLRStack*, long int, YYSTYPE*, YYLTYPE*): Assertion `yytext[0] != ','' failed.
