yacc.c: provide a means to include the header in the implementation
Currently when --defines is used, we generate a header, and paste an exact copy of it into the generated parser implementation file. Let's provide a means to #include it instead. We don't do it by default because of the Autotools' ylwrap. This program wraps invocations of yacc (that uses a fixed output name: y.tab.c, y.tab.h, y.output) to support a more modern naming scheme (dir/foo.y -> dir/foo.tab.c, dir/foo.tab.h, etc.). It does that by renaming the generated files, and then by running sed to propagate these renamings inside the files themselves. Unfortunately Automake's Makefiles uses Bison as if it were Yacc (with --yacc or with -o y.tab.c) and invoke bison via ylwrap. As a consequence, as far as Bison is concerned, the output files are y.tab.c and y.tab.h, so it emits '#include "y.tab.h"'. So far, so good. But now ylwrap processes this '#include "y.tab.h"' into '#include "dir/foo.tab.h"', which is not guaranteed to always work. So, let's do the Right Thing when the output file is not y.tab.c, in which case the user should %define api.header.include. Binding this behavior to --yacc is tempting, but we recently told people to stop using --yacc (as it also enables the Yacc warnings), but rather to use -o y.tab.c. Yacc.c is the only skeleton concerned: all the others do include their header. * data/skeletons/yacc.c (b4_header_include_if): New. (api.header.include): Provide a default value when the output is not y.tab.c. * src/parse-gram.y (api.header.include): Define.

*** Include the generated header (yacc.c)
|
||||
|
||||
Before, when --defines is used, bison generated a header, and pasted an
|
||||
exact copy of it into the generated parser implementation file. If the
|
||||
header name is not "y.tab.h", it is now #included instead of being
|
||||
duplicated.
|
||||
|
||||
To use an '#include' even if the header name is "y.tab.h" (which is what
|
||||
happens with --yacc, or when using the Autotools' ylwrap), define
|
||||
api.header.include to the exact argument to pass to #include. For
|
||||
instance:
|
||||
|
||||
%define api.header.include {"parse.h"}
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
%define api.header.include {<parser/parse.h>}
