Re: [Caml-list] Error messages with dypgen

[Joel Reymont <joelr1@gmail.com>]

John,

There should at least be a textual message embedded in the exception.

This is what I have right now:

input_declarations:
   | INPUT COLON input_decs { `InputDecls (List.rev $3) }
   | INPUT COLON input_decs error {
       parser_error "Missing semicolon" $startpos($4) $endpos($4)
     }
   | INPUT COLON error {
       parser_error "Error after INPUT:" $startpos($3) $endpos($3)
     }
   | INPUT error {
       parser_error "Missing ':' after INPUT" $startpos($2) $endpos($2)
     }

I clearly know why the error is happening here. Positions  
notwithstanding, wow do I rewrite this for dypgen?

	Thanks, Joel
