locations are much more general than semantic values, there is room in
the output parser to redefine the default action to take for each

while processing a syntax error, to compute the error's location.
Most of the time, this macro is general enough to suppress location
dedicated code from semantic actions.
The @code{YYLLOC_DEFAULT} macro takes three parameters. The first one is
the location of the grouping (the result of the computation). The second one
is an array holding locations of all right hand side elements of the rule
being matched. The last one is the size of the right hand side rule.

rule is matched, the second parameter is an array holding locations of
all right hand side elements of the rule being matched, and the third
parameter is the size of the rule's right hand side. When processing
a syntax error, the second parameter is an array holding locations of
the symbols that were discarded during error processing, and the third
parameter is the number of discarded symbols.
