Nyacc: how to lex comments?

[tomas]

Hi,

in my quest to play parsing, I'm failing when I try to cope with
comments.

Here's an excerpt from my current file

    (define my-grammar
      (lalr-spec
       (start my-file)
       (grammar
        ;; boring grammar details elided
           )))
    
    (define mach (make-lalr-machine aq-grammar))
    (define mtab (lalr-match-table mach))
    (define gen-lexer (make-lexer-generator mtab
                       #:comm-reader (make-comm-reader '(("#" . "\n")))))
    (define raw-parse (make-lalr-parser mach))
    (define (parse) (raw-parse (gen-lexer)))
    
    ;; (gen-lexer)
    (parse)

Comments are shell-like, from "#" to end of line. Grammar
works fine so-far, but when (parse) sees a hash-comment
(even just a one-line input

  # this is a comment

it panics:

    Backtrace:
    In ice-9/boot-9.scm:
      1736:10  6 (with-exception-handler _ _ #:unwind? _ # _)

    nyacc/parse.scm:78:4: Throw to key `nyacc-error' with args `("~A:~A: parse 
failed at state ~A, on input ~S" "(unknown)" 1 0 " a comment")'.

I feel I'm doing something stupid. What can I do to understand
what's going on?

Thanks & cheers
