* data/c.m4 (b4_table_value_equals): New macro to capture some repeated code. * data/glr.c (yyis_pact_ninf): Use it here. (yyis_table_ninf): Likewise. (yyreportSyntaxError): Improve internal comments. * data/yacc.c (yyis_pact_ninf): New macro copied from glr.c. Use it everywhere possible. (yyis_table_ninf): Likewise. (yysyntax_error): Improve internal comments. * data/lalr1.cc (yysyntax_error_): Likewise. * data/lalr1.java (yysyntax_error): Likewise. * src/tables.h: Improve comments about yypact, yytable, etc.
