|Sorry, it's not.  Nothing in ANSI C promises that stdin and stdout are

You're right, but the ANSI C standard _does_ `promise' that stdin and
stdout are `expressions of type ``pointer to FILE'' that point to the
FILE objects associated [...]'
So, the original poster can solve his/her problem by moving the assignments
away from the initialization code and simply do an assignment like:

FILE *yyin, *yyout;
/* ... */
yyin= stdin; yyout= stdout;
