How to serialize/deserialize YAML::Binary? - yaml-cpp

UPDATE
It now seems that anything put in a vector breaks. I have tried char and u/int/8/16/32 and they all generate some kind of error. I'm a bit perplexed. There may be an error in my code, but I'm not sure what the YAML should look like, so I'm probably not doing a very a very good job of looking for when the data becomes incorrect.
Is YAML::Binary from Yaml-Cpp finished yet? I've tried serializing my data as int's, but Yaml-Cpp seems to be confused about ints and chars, and this generally never works. Instead, now I'm trying to use Yaml::Binary, but I get an error on the other side when I try to recover the YAML::Binary node on the other end. Specifically, this chunk fails:

error recovery in byacc/j and jflex using error token like in yacc

i am writing a compiler for a small language using byacc/j and jflex. i have no problem in finding first error in a given input file. the problem is i cant find more errors. first i used to use yacc and lex and i used special symbol 'error' token at the end of some grammar rules which was built in yacc and i could use 'yyerrok' to simply continue parsing and finding more errors but , in byacc/j i cant find something like that and yyerrok does not work and byacc/j does not recognize that. any suggestions to find more than one error in byacc/j ? or is there ' error ' and 'yyerrok' in byacc/j ?
The only thing that yyerrok does is reset the count of tokens since the last error notification. Yacc parsers suppress error messages in the first three tokens after an error recovery, to prevent cascading error messages.
Using yyerrok -- or setting yyerrflag to 0 -- indicates that error recovery was successful and that error messages should now be produced. It does not have any other effect: with or without yyerrok, parsing will continue.
yyerrok is a C macro, and Java doesn't have macros. So apparently it was dropped from the Java interface. But yyerrflag exists as a parser class member and you should be able to just set it to zero in a parser action.

How to get concise syntax error messages from grako/TatSu

If the input to a grako/tatsu generated parser has a syntax error, such as 3 + / 3 to the calc.py examples, one gets a long list of Python calling sequences in addition to the relevant
3 + / 3
^
I could use try - except constructions but then I lose the relevant part of the error message as well.
I would like to use grako/tatsu to parse grammar rules for a rule compiler and I appreciate the possibility of separating the syntax and semantics in a clean way. The users would be quite annoyed of the excessive error messages. Is there a way for clean error messages?
This should be the same as in any Python program. If you let the exception escape main(), then a stack trace will be printed. Instead, you can write:
try:
do_parse()
except Exception as e:
print(str(e))

debugging JavaScript runtime syntax errors

Short: I am looking for a way to get the text of the script that was evaluated and caused a syntax error from within the context of window.onerror.
Long:
The full scenario includes a phone gap application and the PushNotifications plugins.
When a push message is sent to the device a javascript error is caught using window.onerror.
with the text "SyntaxtError: Expected token '}'"
the reported line number is 1 (is it is usually when dealing with EVALuated code.
The way the plugin executs its code is by using:
NSString * jsCallBack = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#(%#);", self.callback, jsonStr];
[self.webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:jsCallBack];
I belive but not 100% sure that this is the code PhoneGap Build are pushing
more code can be seen in here https://github.com/phonegap-build/PushPlugin/blob/master/src/ios/PushPlugin.m#L177
the self.callback is a string passed by me to the plugin and jsonStr is (supposed to be) an object describing the push message.
when I tried to pass as the parameter that ends up being self.callback the string alert('a');// then I did get the alert and no syntax error. ad now I am trying to understand what does jsonStr gets evaluated to so that maybe I can find a way around it or figure out if its my fault somehow (maybe for the content I am sending in the push notification....)
I also tried to look at the last item of the $('script') collection of the document hopeing that maybe stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString generates a new script block but that does not seem to be the case.
further more in the window.onerror I also tried to get the caller
using var c=window.onerror.caller||window.onerror.arguments.caller; but this returns undefined.
As I stated before - I am looking for ideas on how to determine what exactly is causing the syntax error possibly by getting a hold of the entire block of script being evaluated when the syntax error happened.

OSStatus NSOSStatusErrorDomain

I received the following error when I get the property using
AudioSessionGetProperty(kAudioSessionProperty_CurrentHardwareSampleRate,&size,
&myAudioDescription.mSampleRate)
Error Produced by above statement is
Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=560557673 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error 560557673.)"
Now, here what does 560557673 mean and where can I find its explanation?
Documentation only provides NSOSStatusErrorDomain as one of the errors.
That code means the property data size was not correct.
OSStatus is a type commonly used for error codes in OS X and iOS. If the magnitude of the code is less than 1 million, then the code is probably listed in MacErrors.h in the CarbonCore framework. Otherwise, it is probably a four-character code listed in the same header as the function which returned it. You can find the header of a function by command-clicking it in Xcode. The codes will most likely be listed near the top, grouped together. To convert the number to a code, use the Calculator app in Developer view to convert it to hexadecimal and convert each byte to a character.

Handling invalid input in the Lexer / Parser

so, I am parsing Hayes modem AT commands. Not read from a file, but passed as char * (I am using C).
1) what happens if I get something that I totally don't recognize? How do I handle that?
2) what if I have something like
my_token: "cmd param=" ("value_1" | "value_2");
and receive an invalid value for "param"?
I see some advice to let the back-end program (in C) handle it, but that goes against the grain for me. Catch teh problem as early as you can, is my motto.
Is there any way to catch "else" conditions in lexer/parser rules?
Thanks in advance ...
That's the thing: the whole point of your parser and lexer is to blow up if you get bad input, then you catch the blow up and present a pretty error message to the user.
I think you're looking for Custom Syntax Error Recovery to embed in your grammar.
EDIT
I've no experience with ANTLR and C (or C alone for that matter), so follow this advice with caution! :)
Looking at the page: http://www.antlr.org/api/C/using.html, perhaps the part at the bottom, Implementing Customized Methods is what you're after.
