I'm currently contributing to https://github.com/arangodb/arangodb but for some reason their grammer.y file does not work with your plugin correctly. Is it wrongly formatted?

Hello
I am currently working on a cpp project using re-flex and bison on Clion.
Is it possible to parse also the *.yy files ?
Thank you

Got the following error when opening https://github.com/wine-mirror/wine/blob/master/dlls/vbscript/parser.y

'%%' or <rules or grammar declaration> expected, got '|'

I tried out your Bison plugin. Thank you for creating it, so that I don't have to use the goyacc plugin for C-style grammars anymore.

When I installed the plugin, CLion complained:

java.lang.Throwable: Too many element types registered. Out of (short) range. Most of element types (11433) were registered for 'Language: Bison':

ALIAS, BRACED_CODE, CODE_PROPS_TYPE, EPILOGUE, GENERIC_SYMLIST_ITEM, GRAMMAR_DECLARATION, ID_OR_CHAR_LITERAL, NTERM_DECLS, PRECEDENCE_DECLARATOR, PREDICATE, PROLOGUE, PROLOGUE_DECLARATION, RHS, RULES, RULES_OR_GRAMMAR_DECLARATION, STRING_AS_ID, SYMBOL, SYMBOL_DECLARATION, TAG, TOKEN_DECL, TOKEN_DECL...

The token types from that list all look sensible to me, so I wonder why CLion thinks there are 11433 of them. Do you have any idea?

I was hoping to work with these files, but unfortunately many old directives are no recognized by this plugin, and cause the rest of the file not to be parsed either. It would be nice to support old directives for the sake of those projects which need to be compatible with older Bison versions, such as the one that ships with macOS.

Hi, Just in case you want to spend some more time on this plugin: There is a feature from the GoYacc plugin that I'm missing in the Bison plugin, and that is to have a structural overview over the grammar.

The implementation in the GoYacc plugin looks reasonably short, and there is documentation for writing a StructureViewFactory, so it looks doable.

This would allow to see the grammar rules by pressing Ctrl+F12, and also to quickly jump to a particular grammar rule.
