I haven't tried it, so this might be nonsense, but I think that YACC simply 
copies the emitted code from the source file to the final C file. That means 
that could be Objective-C code - you'd only need to change the file extension 
from .c to .m to compile it. As long as the emitted code is the only 
Objective-C and therefore not required to be parsed by YACC, I reckon it ought 
to work.
