I wrote this code to create a pascal parser . When the bison analyse it, it doesn't show any conflict despite it's a left recursive and ambigous grammar. this is the code

    %{
#include<stdio.h>
int yyparse();
int yylex();
int yyerror(char *s);

%}

%token  ID;
%token  VAR;
%token INT;
%token FUNC;
%token  PROC;
%token  BEGIN;
%token  END;
%token OPAFFECT;
%token OPREL;
%token  OPADD;
%token  OPMUL;
%token PROGRAM;
%token NB;
%token  IF;
%token  THEN;
%token ELSE;
%token  WHILE;
%token  DO;
%token NOT;
%token PO;
%token PF;
%token P;
%token PV;
%token DP;
%token V;
%token PLUS;
%token MINUS;
%%

program : PROGRAM ID PV declaration compoundinstruction P
declaration : vardeclaration subprogramsdec
vardeclaration : vardeclaration VAR idlist DP INT PV | /*epsilon*/
idlist : ID | idlist V ID

sign : PLUS | MINUS

%%
int yyerror(char *s) {
    printf("yyerror : %s\n",s);
    return 0;
}

int main(void) {
    yyparse();
    return 0;
}

I tried other examples of ambiguous and left recursive grammars, bison displays those conflicts but not with this piece of code. And thank you!!!

Left recusion is only an issue for LL parsing, and bison is LR (actually LALR), so left recursion is not a problem -- it does not cause any conflicts or other issues.

The fact that your grammar does not have any shift/reduce conflicts means that it is not ambiguous. What makes you think that it is?
