From the manual:

Bison problems 

"
Versions 1.31 to 1.34 of bison contain a "bug" that results in 
a compiler errors like this: 

ce_parse.cpp:348: member `class CPPValue yyalloc::yyvs' with 
constructor not allowed in union 

This problem has been solved in version 1.35 
(versions before 1.31 will also work). 
"

i.e. time to upgrade bison.

For completeness could you please also include:
  src\docvisitor.h
  src\printdocvisitor.h

Maybe not too many people are already using VC++ for various reasons 
(I am one those people). Nice to see you are working on CodeWarrior support
though.
