The next release of Domain/OS (SR10.3) on the Apollo contains modified
versions of lex/yacc which produce output that can be compiled by the C++
compiler (the only problems were with function prototypes). In that case,
you can put C++ code directly in the parser actions and just compile the
output as a C++ source file. SR10.3 is due out soon, I believe, but I
don't know the exact date.
