** Future changes:
The next major release will drop support for generating parsers in K&R C,

- "parsing stack overflow..." -> "parser stack overflow"
GLR parsers now report "parser stack overflow" as per the Bison manual.
** %parse-param and %lex-param
The macros YYPARSE_PARAM and YYLEX_PARAM provide a means to pass
additional context to yyparse and yylex. They suffer from several
shortcomings:
- a single argument only can be added,
- their types are weak (void *),
- this context is not passed to anciliary functions such as yyerror,
- only yacc.c parsers support them.
The new %parse-param/%lex-param directives provide a more precise control.
For instance:
%parse-param {int *nastiness}
%lex-param {int *nastiness}
%parse-param {int *randomness}
results in the following signatures:
int yylex (int *nastiness);
int yyparse (int *nastiness, int *randomness);
or, if both %pure-parser and %locations are used:
int yylex (YYSTYPE *lvalp, YYLTYPE *llocp, int *nastiness);
int yyparse (int *nastiness, int *randomness);
** Bison now warns if it detects conflicting outputs to the same file,
e.g., it generates a warning for "bison -d -o foo.h foo.y" since
that command outputs both code and header to foo.h.
