I would strongly recommend that you look into ANTLR, a much better (IMHO)
parser generator than lex/yacc. Note that it's predicated LL(k), but you
can get used to writing LL grammars very easily.


I have written a tutorial for it at
    http://www.scruz.net/~thetick/antlrtut


I also have a page describing some of the gotchas when writing an LL vs
LALR grammar at
