I'm building a compliar for a specific language, I've made a lex scanner & yacc Parsar and a text file with some of the language, the goal is to build a proper AST and print it,
i already made the full yacc and lex files with all the rules i need, i run them use the code:
yacc -d test.y
lex test.l
cc -o test y.tab.c -ll -Ly
./test < file.t
The files are able to make a parser from the text file without any syntax problems, so scanning and parsing with the lex and yacc works.
I have prepared functions for the construction of the AST, to print it right i made a recursion function that scan in preorder to print the all tree.
*i removed most of the not relevant code
some of the yacc code:
%{
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
typedef struct node {
char* token;
struct node *left;
struct node *middle;
struct node *right;
}node;
node *mknode(char *token,node *left,node *middle,node *right);
void printTree(node *tree);
void yyerror(const char *s);
int yylex();
#define printTree
#define YYSTYPE struct node*
extern char *yytext;
%}

#include "lex.yy.c"
int main()
{
return yyparse();
}
node *mknode(char *token, node *left, node *middle, node *right)
{
node *newnode = (node*)malloc(sizeof(node));
char *newstr = (char*)malloc(sizeof(token)+1);
strcpy(newstr,token);
newnode->left = left;
newnode->middle = middle;
newnode->right = right;
newnode->token = newstr;
return newnode;
}
void printtree(node *tree)
{
printf("%s\n",tree->token);
if(tree->left)
printtree(tree->left);
if(tree->middle)
printtree(tree->middle);
if(tree->right)
printtree(tree->right);
}
void yyerror(const char *str)
{
printf("%s - %s in line:%d \n",str,yytext,counter);
}
so I manage to build AST from the language, but not to print it, for some reason the function 'printTree' is doing nothing,
If I try to print like this: printf("%s", $1->token) or printf("%s", $1->left->token), then everything is fine and every token is in its rightful place, so why I cannot print them using a recursive function ?
