3.5.1 Data Types of Semantic Values
In a simple program it may be sufficient to use the same data type for the semantic values of all language constructs. This was true in the RPN and infix calculator examples (see section Reverse Polish Notation Calculator).
Bison's default is to use type int for all semantic values. To
specify some other type, define YYSTYPE as a macro, like this:
#define YYSTYPE double |
YYSTYPE's replacement list should be a type name
that does not contain parentheses or square brackets.
This macro definition must go in the prologue of the grammar file
(see section Outline of a Bison Grammar).
