Not that I am aware of, but this system has definiterly seen too many administrators and I am not used to RedHat. RPM says:

[pbecker_at_meganesia pbecker]$ rpm --query bison bison-1.28-2

The comments in the files getdate.c and bison.simple match this version number (1.28).

Isn't this the relevant part:

--------snip---------
#line 183 "getdate.y"
typedef union {
int Number;
enum _MERIDIAN Meridian;
} YYSTYPE;

#include <stdio.h>                                                      
       

--------snap---------
?

Here is the part you wanted:

--------snip---------
case 20:
#line 286 "getdate.y"
{

           yyMonth = yyvsp[-2].Number;
           yyDay = yyvsp[0].Number;
       ;
   break;}                                                               
     

--------snap---------

The whole file is temporarly available as http://meganesia.int.gu.edu.au/~pbecker/getdate.c and the bison file can be found via http://meganesia.int.gu.edu.au/~pbecker/bison.simple -- I'll delete them in some days.

HTH,

PS: another thing that might be relevant:

[pbecker_at_meganesia hypermail-2.1.0]$ gcc --version egcs-2.91.66

at least a difference to the SuSE installations. Received on Mon 16 Apr 2001 02:53:05 AM GMT
