Is right recursive C grammar necessary?

[Steven Ryan]

My only experience with Yacc so far make me wish I had used recursive descent.
I had to chop up an LL(3) grammar just to soothe its ineffectual lookahead
computation.

If Yacc uses a fixed size stack, it is lousy program. It should be fixed
instead of making its users workaround and study its internals. (So much for
modular software.)

Actually, I think Yacc and its ilk are like driver licenses--they give
the general public freedom but think of all those traffic fatalities.

                                   Make it simple--not simplistic.
