When I try to compile using these commands:



bison -d step3.y
flex step3.fl
gcc step3.tab.c lex.yy.c -lfl -o a.out


It gives me the following error:



In file included from step3.fl:15:0:
step3.y:39:17: error: field ‘op’ has incomplete type
enum OPERATORS op;


I've looked all over the internet and couldn't find a possibly fix. Can anyone help me with this one?



Thanks in advance.

  • Please include enough code in your question to reproduce the problem. From the error message, I assume your lexer includes step3.tab.h, correct? And I further assume step3.y includes ast.h - if so, in which section? Also: in your compilation steps, is file actually a "stand in" for step3 or do you have multiple .y and .fl files and the error is coming from different ones than the ones you are compiling?

  • @sepp2k You are correct. I've edited my question to include more code.

When I try to compile using these commands:



bison -d step3.y
flex step3.fl
gcc step3.tab.c lex.yy.c -lfl -o a.out


It gives me the following error:



In file included from step3.fl:15:0:
step3.y:39:17: error: field ‘op’ has incomplete type
enum OPERATORS op;


I've looked all over the internet and couldn't find a possibly fix. Can anyone help me with this one?



Thanks in advance.

  • Please include enough code in your question to reproduce the problem. From the error message, I assume your lexer includes step3.tab.h, correct? And I further assume step3.y includes ast.h - if so, in which section? Also: in your compilation steps, is file actually a "stand in" for step3 or do you have multiple .y and .fl files and the error is coming from different ones than the ones you are compiling?

  • @sepp2k You are correct. I've edited my question to include more code.

  • Please include enough code in your question to reproduce the problem. From the error message, I assume your lexer includes step3.tab.h, correct? And I further assume step3.y includes ast.h - if so, in which section? Also: in your compilation steps, is file actually a "stand in" for step3 or do you have multiple .y and .fl files and the error is coming from different ones than the ones you are compiling?

  • Please include enough code in your question to reproduce the problem. From the error message, I assume your lexer includes step3.tab.h, correct? And I further assume step3.y includes ast.h - if so, in which section? Also: in your compilation steps, is file actually a "stand in" for step3 or do you have multiple .y and .fl files and the error is coming from different ones than the ones you are compiling?

Code inside %{ } will only be included in the generated .c file, not the generated header file. So when your lexer includes the header file (and doesn't previously include ast.h), you get the union, but not the contents of ast.h, so enum OPERATORS is an incomplete type because the compiler hasn't seen the definition of OPERATORS.



In Bison it is generally preferable to use %code over %{ } as it gives you more control over where the code is included. In your case, you'll want to include ast.h in the %code requires section. From the docs:




requires




  • Language(s): C, C++

  • Purpose: This is the best place to write dependency code required for YYSTYPE and YYLTYPE. In other words, it’s the best place to define types referenced in %union directives. If you use #define to override Bison’s default YYSTYPE and YYLTYPE definitions, then it is also the best place. However you should rather %define api.value.type and api.location.type.

  • Location(s): The parser header file and the parser implementation file before the Bison-generated YYSTYPE and YYLTYPE definitions.




So that would be:



%code requires {
#include "ast.h"
}

    @PiguFilms I'm pretty sure, the change didn't cause those errors. You just haven't gotten to the linking step before. Anyway, those errors seem to be unrelated and should be a topic for another question (which should then include the relevant information, such as where those functions are defined and whether and how you're linking the appropriate compilation units).

The problem is that you're missing #include "ast.h" in your step3.fl file. It should be just before the #include "step3.tab.h" line.
