+**    YYCODETYPE         is the data type used for storing terminal
+**                       and nonterminal numbers.  "unsigned char" is
+**                       used if there are fewer than 250 terminals
+**                       and nonterminals.  "int" is used otherwise.
+**    YYNOCODE           is a number of type YYCODETYPE which corresponds
+**                       to no legal terminal or nonterminal number.  This
+**                       number is used to fill in empty slots of the hash 
+**                       table.
+**    YYFALLBACK         If defined, this indicates that one or more tokens
+**                       have fall-back values which should be used if the
+**                       original value of the token will not parse.
+**    YYACTIONTYPE       is the data type used for storing terminal
+**                       and nonterminal numbers.  "unsigned char" is
+**                       used if there are fewer than 250 rules and
+**                       states combined.  "int" is used otherwise.
+**    ParseTOKENTYPE     is the data type used for minor tokens given 
+**                       directly to the parser from the tokenizer.
+**    YYMINORTYPE        is the data type used for all minor tokens.
+**                       This is typically a union of many types, one of
+**                       which is ParseTOKENTYPE.  The entry in the union
+**                       for base tokens is called "yy0".
+**    YYSTACKDEPTH       is the maximum depth of the parser's stack.  If
+**                       zero the stack is dynamically sized using realloc()
+**    ParseARG_SDECL     A static variable declaration for the %extra_argument
+**    ParseARG_PDECL     A parameter declaration for the %extra_argument
+**    ParseARG_STORE     Code to store %extra_argument into yypParser
+**    ParseARG_FETCH     Code to extract %extra_argument from yypParser
+**    YYNSTATE           the combined number of states.
+**    YYNRULE            the number of rules in the grammar
+**    YYERRORSYMBOL      is the code number of the error symbol.  If not
+**                       defined, then do no error processing.

+**
+** The action table is constructed as a single large table named yy_action[].
+** Given state S and lookahead X, the action is computed as
+**
+**      yy_action[ yy_shift_ofst[S] + X ]

+** If the index value yy_shift_ofst[S]+X is out of range or if the value
+** yy_lookahead[yy_shift_ofst[S]+X] is not equal to X or if yy_shift_ofst[S]
+** is equal to YY_SHIFT_USE_DFLT, it means that the action is not in the table
+** and that yy_default[S] should be used instead.  
+**
+** The formula above is for computing the action when the lookahead is
+** a terminal symbol.  If the lookahead is a non-terminal (as occurs after
+** a reduce action) then the yy_reduce_ofst[] array is used in place of
+** the yy_shift_ofst[] array and YY_REDUCE_USE_DFLT is used in place of
+** YY_SHIFT_USE_DFLT.
+**
+** The following are the tables generated in this section:
+**
+**  yy_action[]        A single table containing all actions.
+**  yy_lookahead[]     A table containing the lookahead for each entry in
+**                     yy_action.  Used to detect hash collisions.
+**  yy_shift_ofst[]    For each state, the offset into yy_action for
+**                     shifting terminals.
+**  yy_reduce_ofst[]   For each state, the offset into yy_action for
+**                     shifting non-terminals after a reduce.

+/*
+An evaluator object is used to replace an input string that represents
+a mathematical expression by its result.
+
+Example: Consider the input "3+4". The result of this expression is "7".
+The NumericEvaluator can be used like this:
+
+  NumericEvaluator eval;
+  eval.process("3+4");
+  printf("3+4", eval.result());
+
+The same example with error checking. Please note that even a valid input string may result
+in an empty output string or "NaN".
+
+  NumericEvaluator eval;
+  bool ret = eval.process("3+4");
+  assert(ret == eval.isValid()); // isValid() reflects return value of process().
+  if (eval.isValid()) printf("3+4=%s\n", eval.result());
+
+Using variables
+Expressions can refer to variables if they were defined by previous expressions.
+A variable can be defined by an expression or by the setVar() method.
+Expressions that define/set variables do not have a result.
+
+  eval.process("x=1; y=2"); // Result is NaN
+  eval.setVar("z", 3);
+  eval.process("x+y+z");
+  printf("x+y+z=%s\n", eval.result());
+
+Input string storage
+An evaluator object can store and retrieve the original input string using a pointer
+as key. This can be used to restore the input string of a text entry field.
+
+  eval.process("25.4-0.7", &eval);
+  printf("%s = %s\n", eval.textInput(&eval), eval.result());
+
+Unit conversion
+The evaluator uses a default unit and constants can be specified with a unit.
+As long as no units are used the default unit is not relevant. The default
+unit is taken from the global (Kicad) variable g_UserUnit.
+Supported units are millimeters (mm), Mil (mil) and inch (")
+
+  eval.process("1\"");
+  printf("1\" = %s\n", eval.result());
+  eval.process("12.7 - 0.1\" - 50mil");
+  printf("12.7 - 0.1\" - 50mil = %s\n", eval.result());
