• Problem using taccle

    From Helmut Giese@21:1/5 to All on Mon Oct 17 17:04:42 2022
    Hello out there,
    wanting to try out taccle (a Tcl compiler compiler) I failed to get
    the examples from the README to run. I tried
    echo "6*9" | tclsh simple_calculator.tcl
    and
    tclsh interactive_calculator.tcl
    as per the README, but both aborted with the error message
    ---
    too many nested evaluations (infinite loop?)
    while executing
    "proc YYABORT {} {
    return -code return 1
    }"
    (file "simple_calculator.tab.tcl" line 11)
    invoked from within
    "source "simple_calculator.tab.tcl""
    (file "simple_scanner.tcl" line 1)
    invoked from within
    "source simple_scanner.tcl"
    (file "simple_calculator.tab.tcl" line 364)
    invoked from within
    "source "simple_calculator.tab.tcl""
    ...( repeated many times)
    ---
    Their respective version is for
    - taccle: 1.1
    - fickle: 2.04

    Before diving into the code I wanted to ask
    - exists maybe a newer version?
    - or does the above error message maybe ring a bell for someone who
    just knows what to do?
    - or anything else which might help?
    This is on Windows 10 (64 bit) and Tcl 8.6.10.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated
    Helmut
