Bison loop for conflict - c

to solve the dangling else problem, I used the following solution:
stmt : stmt_matched
| stmt_unmatched
;
stmt_unmatched : IF '(' exp ')' stmt
| IF '(' exp ')' stmt_matched ELSE stmt_unmatched
;
stmt_matched : IF '(' exp ')' stmt_matched ELSE stmt_matched
| stmt_for
| ...
;
For defining the rules of grammar about the for loop, I produce a conflict shift/reduce due to the same problem:
stmt_for : FOR '(' exp ';' exp ';' exp ')' stmt
;
How can I solve this problem?

Not all for statements are matched. Consider, for example
if (c) for (;;) if (d) ; else ;
So it is necessary to divide for statements into for_matched and for_unmatched. (And similarly with other compound statements such as while.)

How can i know if a variable was already declared using lex/yacc?

i have to design an original programming language and provide a syntactic analyzer for it. Now i'm at the point where i should check if a variable was already declared and if it was i shouldn't be able to declare it again. How can i do this?with an array?(how)
This is what I've done so far.
lex:
%{
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "y.tab.h"
%}
%option noyywrap
%%
"/*"(.|\n)+"*/" ;
"float"|"char"|"string" {return TYPE;}

"=" {return ASSIGN;}
"<="|"<"|">="|">"|"=="|"!=" {return COMP;}
"begin_prog" {return BGIN;}
"end_prog" {return END;}
[ \t] ;
\n {yylineno++;}
. {return yytext[0];}

This works for declarations of any type.
I hope you can help me with my problem.

How to create Abstract Syntax Tree nodes when the operator and operands are not in the same production?

So in all cases of AST examples, there are productions of the following kind:
expr -> expr "+" expr;
expr -> expr "-" expr;
And in this case it's easy to create a new node like this:
expr: expr "+" expr {newNode("+",$1,$3);}
;
Now my grammar has the following implementation:
assignment:IDENTIFIER '=' expression ';'
;
expression:term expression_1
;
expression_1: '+' term expression_1 |
'-' term expression_1 |
;
term: factor term_1
;
term_1: '*' factor term_1 |
'/' factor term_1 |
;
factor: IDENTIFIER |
'(' expression ')' |
NUM | FNUM | STRING
;
Here, while making a new node, how do I take the first operand(which is in a previous production), and feed that into a newNode function which will have the operator and the second operand(both of these are together in a different production)?

Bison C to Matlab

I need to translate a for loop from C to Matlab.
I have the following grammar:
stmt : stmt_while
| stmt_for
|...
;
stmt_for : FOR '(' for_exp ')' stmt { }
;
for_exp : exp ';' exp ';' exp { }
| exp ';' exp ';' { }
| exp ';' ';' exp { }
| exp ';' ';' { }
| ';' exp ';' exp { }
| ';' exp ';' { }
| ';' ';' exp { }
| ';' ';' { }
;
The for loops in Matlab have a completely different syntax so I do not know how to implement the translation.
The simplest solution seems to me to translate it in a while:
exp1;
for(exp1; exp2; exp3){ while(exp2){
for_body... ==> for_body...
} exp3;
}
You have other solutions?
Thank you all.

Bison's analysis Pascal grammar in C

I am writing program to analyse Pascal grammar. I want to check correctness of input Pascal file and show where errors are.
I have a problem with finding more than one error, after finding an error parser ends.
Also parser doesnt't show in which line error is only display " Syntax error at or before [declaration], line" but i want to this line where is an error.

issue with the function definition in my grammar

I have an issue with the function definition in my C grammar wich can be found here http://www.archive-host.com/files/1959635/24fe084677d7655eb57ba66e1864081450017dd9/cAST.txt, it does not define correctly and I can't multiply it by something.
The code I am tring to input is this one :
int factorielle(int n)
{ int x;
if ( n == 0)
return 1;
else return n*factorielle(n-1);
}
The function definition is this one :
function_definition
: declaration_specifiers declarator compound_statement
| declarator compound_statement
;
declaration_specifiers should be linked to int and declarator to factorielle(int n), to do this I replaced this :
direct_declarator
: ID ((direct_declarator '[' ']') | (direct_declarator '(' parameter_type_list ')') | (direct_declarator '(' identifier_list ')') | (direct_declarator '(' ')') )*
with
direct_declarator
: ID ((direct_declarator '[' ']') | (direct_declarator '(' parameter_type_list ')') | (direct_declarator '(' identifier_list ')') | (direct_declarator '(' ')') | '(' parameter_type_list ')' )*
But it does not help much.
As for the multiplication I don't know how to do without bringing conflict.
is there a way to fix this please ?
You're likely to have an difficult time parsing real C code using a pure grammar with pure ANTLR.
The reason is that certain declarations look like legitimate executable statements. (While the referenced answer seems to be about LR(1) parsers, it is really about parsers that cannot handle ambiguity; ANTLR cannot).
The only way to tell them apart is to use context information available from earlier symbol declarations. So you will have to collect symbol types as you parse, and inspect that information in the grammar rule reductions to decide whether such instances are statements or declarations. (I don't know how one implements this in ANTLR, although I believe it to be possible).
I may have found a solution to the first part of the issue by remplacing
compound_statement
: '{' '}'
| '{' statement_list '}'
;
with
compound_statement
: '{' '}'
| '{' statement_list '}'
| '{' external_declaration+ '}'
;
and adding this to direct_declarator:
| ID '(' parameter_type_list ')'
But I don't know if it will bring some conflicts.
