The main thing is that many symbols in gram.y eventually get turned into a #define and if the symbol is a normal looking word that may be used in another context it's common to suffix it with a _P (the P stands for something but I forget what. Predicate?). That way you don't run into unexpected surprises when it compiles with other headers...

It's just there for tokens whose macros would otherwise be likely to collide with other symbols. regards, tom lane ok. unterstand thank you Pavel Stehule ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
