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

[Peter Ilberg <peter.ilberg@gmail.com>]

I have no experience with ocamlyacc, but looking at your grammar below, it 
seems that you don't need the 'value PLUS exp' etc rules. All these cases 
should be covered already by the 'exp PLUS exp' rules at the beginning and 
the 'value' rule at the end.

Try removing the 'value PLUS exp' rules. Maybe ocamlyacc gets confused 
if it has two sets of productions that it has to disambiguate with 
precedence rules.
