glr.cc is a hack.  In a perfect world, it would be rewritten from scratch
(today, it's a wrapper around glr.c).  As there does not seem to be enough
demand for a genuine glr.cc, it is not planned to write one.

Help would be most welcome ;)

However, consider using YYABORT instead of using an exception.
