Currently, you only get to debug the parser C-code, and will have to
use to special techniques to debug the parser itself. But Satya is
working on a debugger format for the parser itself, so that one can
follow the position in the .y file. But this may not what you are
asking for - your project probably asks fro a debugger for the
compiler of the language you are implementing. If you do not get moe
info in this mailing list, you might try the Usenet newsgroup
comp.compilers, and its FAQ, posted there monthly.
