I am working on a large project with multiple parsers for several
different XML files. Some of the elements and types in the XML schemas
are identical, and I would like to share some of the parser code. I am
working in flex/bison and am wondering if there is a way to use
include files for bison.


I understand that I can use #include in the C code section, but this
is not what I am talking about. I want to set aside some repeated
grammar rules into a separate file and then "paste" that file into
several bison parsers via an include statement. Is this sort of thing
possible? How would I do it?


Thanks
