                        }

idlist is here of type idtype. I'm a newbie to Yaac. Am I doing something stupid because, My code is looping through a single id. when I use this at one level up.

So here the grammar has type after the ID. I could use a stack to do that, but i thought this was cute .

The problem is that you're taking the address of $1, which is a local temporary that exists only for that rule action. So after the action completes, it goes away, leaving $$.ptr dangling, and pointing at memory that's going to be reused for something else.
