bison and C++

Dear All,

 

it would certainly help if the C++ generated parser would
allocate the stack using std::vector so that constructors
and destructors are automatically called.

And this would also make certain that the parser stack is
only limited by the amount of memory.

This also would obsolete the destructor feature of bison
since this would be handled by C++.

It would be a nice feature if the parser would support
something like boost::variant for the token class.

It may be some generated class similar to boost::variant,
since boost::variant is likely limited to a certain number
of entries.

It would also be nice if the generated code would not use
any gotos anymore.

And why not use enumerations instead of defines for the
token ID.

 

Thanks && Kind Regards

Peter Foelsche
