Re: Visual Studio - win_bison creates tab.h file exceeding compiler limits

[Jot Dot]

It works. 

Sorry about the delay: Had to install cygwin. Had issues. Had to remember 'nix 
and how to build the bison source. Ouch. 
Yes I know I could have sent you my .y file but this way I learned something 
about what I should have learned ages ago. 
I looked for the YY_ASSERTs in the generated header - no more long lines - 
great! 

Thanks

Jot, 

Could you please try the following beta to make sure it fixes your problem? 

https://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/private/bison/bison-3.7.3.15-f4e85.tar.gz 
https://www.lrde.epita.fr/~akim/private/bison/bison-3.7.3.15-f4e85.tar.lz

You don't have to install this version of Bison to try it: you can 
just compile it and use ./tests/bison. 

It would be most useful to try *with assertions enabled*. Either 
paste "%define parse.assert" in your grammar file, or pass the option 
-Dparse.assert on the command line. 

If that's possible for you, you may also send me privately your 
file, and I'll send the generated output back to you, to make 
sure Visual C++ likes it. 

Thanks in advance!
