These problems typically come not from Bison itself, but from
Lex-generated scanners. Because these scanners use large buffers for
demonstration, consider the following source file,
@file{first-line.l}:
-@verbatim
-%{
+@example
+@group
+%@{
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
-%}
+%@}
+@end group
%%
.*\n ECHO; return 1;

int
yyparse (char const *file)

yyin = fopen (file, "r");
if (!yyin)
- {
- perror ("fopen");
- exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
- }
+ @{
+ perror ("fopen");
+ exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
+ @}
+@end group
+@group
/* One token only. */
yylex ();
if (fclose (yyin) != 0)
- {
- perror ("fclose");
- exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
- }
+ @{

return 0;

int
main (void)
-{

yyparse ("input");
yyparse ("input");
return 0;
-}
-@end verbatim
+@}
+@end group
+@end example
@noindent
If the file @file{input} contains
-@verbatim
+@example
input:1: Hello,
input:2: World!
-@end verbatim
+@end example
@noindent
then instead of getting the first line twice, you get:
@node Strings are Destroyed
@section Strings are Destroyed
-@display
+@quotation
My parser seems to destroy old strings, or maybe it loses track of
them. Instead of reporting @samp{"foo", "bar"}, it reports
@samp{"bar", "bar"}, or even @samp{"foo\nbar", "bar"}.
-@end display
+@end quotation
This error is probably the single most frequent ``bug report'' sent to
Bison lists, but is only concerned with a misunderstanding of the role
of the scanner. Consider the following Lex code:
-@verbatim
-%{
+@example
+@group
+%@{
#include <stdio.h>
char *yylval = NULL;
-%}
+%@}
+@end group
+@group
%%
.* yylval = yytext; return 1;
\n /* IGNORE */
%%
+@end group

int
main ()
-{
+@{
/* Similar to using $1, $2 in a Bison action. */
char *fst = (yylex (), yylval);
char *snd = (yylex (), yylval);
printf ("\"%s\", \"%s\"\n", fst, snd);
return 0;
