Recently activated new rules in our ITER software QA system have me go through EPICS modules once again, trying to make them pass quality gates.

Is it worth fixing smallish things in the yacc sources inside libCom, or should I just tag them as 'won't fix' in our static analysis application?

I'm happy to provide pull requests, but only if they have a chance to be approved.

My main concern now with changing the flex and antelope sources is that we don't have comprehensive unit tests that could detect changes that subtly affect their functionality. The things that the QA tools want should be acceptable as long as they stay small and localized.
