runs, the @code{yydebug} parser-trace feature can help you figure out why.
To enable compilation of trace facilities, you must define the macro
@code{YYDEBUG} when you compile the parser. You could use @samp{-DYYDEBUG=1}
as a compiler option or you could put @samp{#define YYDEBUG 1} in the prologue
of the grammar file (@pxref{Prologue, , The Prologue}). Alternatively, use the
@samp{-t} option when you run Bison (@pxref{Invocation, ,Invoking Bison}).

debugging is always possible.
The trace facility outputs messages with macro calls of the form
@code{YYFPRINTF (YYSTDERR, @var{format}, @var{args})} where
@var{format} and @var{args} are the usual @code{printf} format and
arguments. If you define @code{YYDEBUG} but do not define
@code{YYFPRINTF}, @code{<stdio.h>} is automatically included and the
macros are defined to @code{fprintf} and @code{stderr}. In the same
situation, C++ parsers include @code{<cstdio.h>} instead, and use
@code{std::fprintf} and @code{std::stderr}.
