Perhaps the gencode.h/grammar.h pair works best when it doesn't include
grammar.h. :-)
I've checked in a change to remove the include of grammar.h from gencode.c; it
builds without problems on macOS, and I suspect it will build without problems
everywhere, as what grammar.h defines are:
1) the names for tokens (which may be done with an enum in a fashion
that causes large amounts of pain if another header you include helpfully - but
uselessly, for our purposes - names for the machine's registers, and you are
unlucky enough to be compiling for a machine that has a register named "esp",
causing a collision with the "esp" token in pcap filter language for ESP;
fortunately, such machines are rare :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-();
2) a union of value types for all symbols in the grammar.
As far as I can tell, neither token names or values nor a value type union are
passed to any of the gencode.c routines called from grammar.y. We *do* pass
values for symbols, but we select the particular union member, rather than just
blindly passing the union as a whole.
So far, all the libpcap builds om www.tcpdump.org are green except for the
Windows build, which is listed as pending; it's about 2/3 of the way through
the build matrix.
