yacc question, maybe related or very OT

[Shayne K]

Hey everyone

I'm currently writing a parser with Flex and Yacc and I'm trying to find a 
decent method of implementing functions (ie: I want to be able to store the 
function locations and then when that function is called, jump to that 
location and execute that function block).

I was wondering if there is a way to get the current file cursor position of 
what is being parsed?

In my flex file, I currently have a line that basically looks like this:

"function" {
       printf("debug: current file position: %d\n", ftell(yyin));
        return(FUNCTION);
}

but I don't think this is sufficient enough.  Or it is and i'm doing 
something wrong.  I know the yylineno works, but I would rather fseek to the 
position I want and the yyreset().

And well I could always write my own prescanner but I'm hoping that I won't 
have to...

Any help would be great

Thanks
Shayne
