For associating token numbers with token names for "yacc.c", don't use
#define statements unless `--yacc' is specified; always use enum yytokentype. Most important discussions start at: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2005-09/msg00053.html>, <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2005-12/msg00052.html>, and <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2006-06/msg00043.html>. * NEWS (2.3+): Mention. * data/c.m4 (b4_yacc_if): New. (b4_token_enums_defines): Use b4_yacc_if to decide whether to add the token #define's. * doc/bison.texinfo (Bison Options): Describe the effect of `--yacc' on token name definitions. * src/getargs.c (usage): Capitalize `Yacc' in English. * src/output.c (prepare): Define b4_yacc_flag. * tests/regression.at (Early token definitions): Test that tokens names are defined before the pre-prologue not just before the post-prologue. Remove this test case and copy to... (Early token definitions with --yacc): ... this to test #define's. (Early token definitions without --yacc): ... and this to test enums.

Changes in version 2.3+:
|
||||
|
||||
* Except for LALR(1) parsers in C with POSIX Yacc emulation enabled (with `-y',
|
||||
`--yacc', or `%yacc'), Bison no longer generates #define statements for
|
||||
associating token numbers with token names. Removing the #define statements
|
||||
helps to sanitize the global namespace during preprocessing, but POSIX Yacc
|
||||
requires them. Bison still generates an enum for token names in all cases.
|
||||
|
||||
* The option `--report=look-ahead' has been changed to `--report=lookahead'.
|
||||
The old spelling still works, but is not documented and may be removed
|
||||
in a future release.
