Re: [Caml-list] Problem with precedence declaration in .mly file

[Thomas Gazagnaire <thomas.gazagnaire@irisa.fr>]

The following code works perfectly for me. Maybe you introduce some 
undesired precedence rules in your grammar rules.


----

%token <int> INT
%token PLUS MINUS DIVIDE STAR ATOB END

%start main
%type <int> main

%left PLUS MINUS
%left STAR DIVIDE
%left ATOB

%%


main:
| expr END { $1 }

expr:
| INT { $1 }
| expr PLUS expr { $1 + $3 }
| expr MINUS expr { $1 - $3 }
| expr DIVIDE expr { $1 / $3 }
| expr STAR expr { $1 * $3 }
| expr ATOB expr { int_of_float ( (float_of_int $1) ** (float_of_int $3) ) }
;

---

And then "2^2+7\n" gives me "11"

Cheers,
Thomas
