>I  wonder why  Gnat doesn't use yacc? 

Gnat uses a much superior parser-generator called "Dewar" :-)

In particular, this parser generator technology is much better at
handling error recovery than Yacc.  It also produces substantially
faster parsers.   Unfortunatly, "Dewar" is proprietary to Ada Core
Technologies.
