You know, 'gcc' in fact tries very hard to press you to stick to KISS principle.

I didn't look into 'bison' warnings, but once looking at somebody else's 
complaints regarding 'gcc' warnings I easily found poor coding style.

It was something like this:

for(i = 0; i < N; i++)
  {
  if(i == 0)
    {
    ...
    }
  else
    {
    ...
    }
  }

- in that case the loop shouldn't have contained 'i = 0' in the first place, 
i.e. the code after 'if' should have been put before the loop, and the 'for' 
statement should have been

for(i = 1; i < N; i++)
.
