I've no idea about yacc grammars, but if you use FPC/Lazarus, have a
look at the "passrc" package. It contains the parser used for, among

IIRC, the first FPC compiler versions were based on a YACC generated
parser (probably produced by TPYACC). The source looked terrible, just
like all YACC-generated files do.
