C grammar available

Dear parseheads..


I used the grammar in the back of K&R and flex/bison to put together the
skeleton of a C compiler that will compile structures into our middleware
and namespace product's namespace. My compiler generates calls to our
C API based on the structure definitions and declarators in the "C" source
file. I took a 3 term compiler sequence at Michigan State University,
building a hand written lexer and simple precedence parser and based on
the dragon book which I still have. I also have "Compiler construction in
C". The problem I have is the grammar gives me 30 reduce/reduce conflicts
and 1 shift/reduce conflict. The only differences from K&R: no "typedef_name",
or typedef keyword in "storage_class_specifier" related rules and the
"struct" keyword directly replaces non-terminal "struct_or_union".




Sincerely,
