One can also write better error messages by using these internal yytname_ table
names:
If one checks on a lookup table whether the name has been already defined and
it is, then one can give information about that already present name. For
example:
“name” {
std::optional<std::pair<token_type, semantic_type> x0 =
my::symbol_table.find($x.text);
if (x0) {
throw syntax_error(@x, "Name " + $x.text + " already defined in this
scope as "
+ yytnamerr_(yytname_[x0->first - 255]));
}
…
}
Right now, all parts are internal and may change: the token translation
x0->first - 255, yytname_ lookup, and error message cleanup yytnamerr_.
