debugging embedded user C code in SUN YACC

I wa strying to use dbx and gdb on the SUN to debug my C codes embedded
in the YACC grammar file. But
the man page of dbx says :

    " dbx is confused by the output of program generators such  as
     yacc(1) and lex(1)."

I tried and found that dbx does not allow you to set break point to
those C codes embedded in the YACC
grammar rules. Gdb also respondes similarly. I would be appreciated if
any one has a work around or better
way to debug it. Please reply to my email address since I don't normally
read this news group.

Thanks,
