Does it mean that the parser program that `Bison` will output
will be a `.d` file?
Assuming I'm correct:
What does it matter whether the parser is a `.c .cpp .d .pl` or
whatever file?
I'm really sorry I'm coming off as abrasive/ungrateful. I have
no intention to belittle the author or the work she has done.
But I'm really curious: What changes if `Bison` outputs it's
parser in some language other than the one it originally
targeted(perhaps that was C?)
I'm really sorry if this appears dismissive, I just don't know
how to phrase it any better.
A question asking for its author to be educated would be more
suitably posted in the Learn forum.
