bisonc++ - No production rules? - bisonc++

Question

I'm trying to compile the following with bisonc++:
%baseclass-preinclude <iostream>
%lsp-needed
%token NUMBER COMMENT KEYWORD VARIABLE LOGICAND LOGICOR LOGICEQUALS DOUBLELESSER
%token DOUBLEGREATER MOD LESSER GREATER OPEN CLOSE NEGATE CURLYOPEN CURLYCLOSE SEMICOLON
%left EQUALS
%left PLUS MINUS
%left TIMES
%left DIVISION
%%

{
std::cout << "start -> expressions" << std::endl;
}
;

// empty
{
std::cout << "expressions -> epsylon" << std::endl;
}

exp expressions
{
std::cout << "expressions -> exp expressions" << std::endl;
}
;
exp:

{
std::cout << "exp -> NUMBER" << std::endl;
}

{
std::cout << "exp -> COMMENT" << std::endl;
}

;
However, it keeps returning with the error

I obviously have some production rules and have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I've copied most of the code from another working example and modified it to my liking. What is wrong?

Answer 1

Your files are not UNIX conform (calculate.l and calculate.y)
If you're operating on Windows and you use Nodepad++, just do the following:
Edit/EOL conversion/UNIX format
Encoding/Convert your files to UTF-8 without BOM
Save and recompile with flex and bisonc++
Hope this helps

Answer 2

I had the same problem, and my teacher showed me, that some of the windows editors create invisible trash in your file, so edit your file with the terminal.
pico yourfile.y
Hit an Enter before the first line, than erase it.
Save
Thats it!
