About 'genfiles' shell script..

Is that file used only when packaging distributions? If so wouldn't this make more sense: LEX=flex -L YACC=bison -y -l Or have I misunderstood something here? man bison tells: -l --no-lines Don't put any #line preprocessor commands in the parser file. Ordinarily bison puts them in the parser file so that the C compiler and debuggers will associate errors with your source file, the grammar file. This option causes them to associate errors with the parser file, treating it an independent source file in its own right. So those #line directives are only needed for debugging?? --Jani
