Bison supports two different means to handle semantic values in C++. One is alike the C interface, and relies on unions (see C++ Unions). As C++ practitioners know, unions are inconvenient in C++, therefore another approach is provided, based on variants (see C++ Variants).
• C++ Unions: | Semantic values cannot be objects | |
• C++ Variants: | Using objects as semantic values |
