Hey list!

I just took the php source (5.5.11-git) and wanted to read thru it for a variety of reasons, and noticed that Zend/Makefile.am references two *.y files, that are obviously not present. In fact, there does not see to be any bison file inside the whole of PHP’s source - is that correct, or am I missing a generation step?

$ find php -name "*.y“
-empty-

Kind regards, Ingwie.

    Neither automake (the .am extension in Makefile.am) or bison are used.
    The automake depency was removed (I think) close to a decade ago, and
    bison's .y got replaced with re2c files (.re). I think somebody forgot
    to remove that Zend/Makefile.am file.

    cheers,

      Correct me if I'm wrong, but bison is a parser generator and re2c
      is a scanner generator. We replaced flex with re2c but never got
      around to replace bison with lemon AFAIK.
