- Subject: minimal version of bison for Gcc?
Hello,
It seems according to http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html that the
minimal version of bison required in GCC (for those hacking the few .y
files) is 1.28 (released in july 1999).
Is there a reason why a 2.x version of bison would not be acceptable? FWIW,
I am not considering using bison in a frontend, but just to parse some kind
of "scripts" or internal data inside a (usually unused) static analysis
pass...
bison 2.0 was released in jan 2006, and bison 2.1 in september 2005.
The current version of bison is 2.3 (released in june 2006).
Regards.
