yacc

[John David Cavanaugh]

I am working on a C compiler that has a couple of yacc-generated
parsers (one for the C input, one for the intermediate language).
I recently made a change to one of the yacc grammar definitions (the
.y file), and when I run yacc, I get a message saying, "fatal error:
too many states."  When I run yacc with -v on a slightly simplified
.y file, it tells me that it is defining 748 of 750 states.

My question is:  is there any way I can increase the number of states?
If so, how do I do it?  The documentation I've been able to get my
hands on says nothing about the number of states.

Thanks in advance for any help or hints.
