HELP: How to parse forward references in C++ classes

Hello,


I am trying to write some kind of C++ syntactical analyzer using the
Roskind's C++ bison grammar. This grammar contains two different
tokens for identifiers - IDENTIFIER and TYPEDEFname. The lexer has to
decide which one of them to return when it scans a common
identifier. This decision is made accordingly to the contents of the
symbol table.


There are, however, forward references in C++ classes definitions
possible, like


class X { X(){ i = 0; } int i; };


The "i" identifier is used before it is declared in class X (at least
lexically). The lexer must return correct value for "i" though.


Thanks for any advice on how to do it.

[All the approaches I know of use either guessing, backing up, or both.
