"In 1985, Jeff Lee published his Yacc grammar (which is accompanied by a
matching Lex specification) for the April 30, 1985 draft version of the
ANSI C standard. Tom Stockfisch reposted it to net.sources in 1987;"
(https://www.lysator.liu.se/c/ANSI-C-grammar-y.html).

Does anyone know if Jeff Lee is still alive and can be contacted (if
yes, how) with a question on the grammar?

Check with Georgia Tech - it looks like Jeff is/was an Alum thereof.

"On the other hand, the grammar given in the current draft(s) of the ANSI
C standard can be easily made LALR(1). A YACC grammar based on the Nov 11
draft was posted awhile back by my office mate, Jeff Lee (gatech!jeff).
It is for the ANSI C, but could be easily made K&R C w/very little work.
