Parser Conflict Resolution
Most programming language grammars are LR(1). But, in practice, you
still encounter grammars which have parsing conflicts.
=> a common cause is an ambiguous grammar
Ambiguous grammars always have parsing conflicts (because they are
ambiguous this is just unavoidable).
In practice, parser generators still generate a parser for such grammars,
using a “resolution rule” to resolve parsing conflicts deterministically.
=> The resolution rule may or may not do what you want/expect
=> You will get a warning message. If you know what you are doing
this can be ignored. Otherwise => try to solve the conflict by
disambiguating the grammar.
