----------
Changes in version 1.75f, 2002-12-28:
* In Yacc-style parsers YYLLOC_DEFAULT is now used to compute error
locations too. This fixes bugs in error-location computation.
* Bison now uses a Yacc-style format for conflict reports, e.g.,
"conflicts: 2 shift/reduce, 1 reduce/reduce".
* 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.
Changes in version 1.75e, 2002-12-24:
* If the user does not define YYSTYPE as a macro, Bison now declares it
using typedef instead of defining it as a macro. POSIX requires this.
For consistency, YYLTYPE is also declared instead of defined.
* %union directives can now have a tag before the `{', e.g., the
directive `%union foo {...}' now generates the C code
`typedef union foo { ... } YYSTYPE;'; this is for Yacc compatibility.
The default union tag is `YYSTYPE', for compatibility with Solaris 9 Yacc.
For consistency, YYLTYPE's struct tag is now `YYLTYPE' instead of `yyltype'.
* `yystype' and `yyltype' are now obsolescent macros instead of being
typedefs or tags; they are no longer documented and will be
withdrawn in a future release.
* References to the experimental %lex-param and %parse-param directives
have been temporarily removed from the manual, since we don't want
users to rely upon these features quite yet.
Changes in version 1.75d, 2002-12-13:
* Semicolons are once again optional at the end of grammar rules.
This reverts to the behavior of Bison 1.33 and earlier, and improves
compatibility with Yacc.
* Type clashes now generate warnings, not errors.
* Yacc command and library now available
The Bison distribution now installs a yacc command, as POSIX requires.
Also, Bison now installs a small library liby.a containing
implementations of Yacc-compatible yyerror and main functions.
This library is normally not useful, but POSIX requires it.
* %lex-param, %parse-param
These now take just one operand, not two.
* The documentation now emphasizes that yylex and yyerror must be
declared before use. C99 requires this.
Changes in version 1.875, 2003-01-01:
* The documentation license has been upgraded to version 1.2
of the GNU Free Documentation License.
Changes in version 1.75c, 2002-11-25:
* syntax error processing
* "parse error" -> "syntax error"
Bison now uniformly uses the term "syntax error"; formerly, the code
and manual sometimes used the term "parse error" instead. POSIX
requires "syntax error" in diagnostics, and it was thought better to
be consistent.
- In Yacc-style parsers YYLLOC_DEFAULT is now used to compute error
locations too. This fixes bugs in error-location computation.
* "parsing stack overflow..." -> "parser stack overflow"
GLR parsers now report "parser stack overflow" as per the Bison manual.
- %destructor
It is now possible to reclaim the memory associated to symbols
discarded during error recovery. This feature is still experimental.
* GLR and inline
Users of Bison have to decide how they handle the portability of the
C keyword `inline'.
- %error-verbose
This new directive is preferred over YYERROR_VERBOSE.
Changes in version 1.75b, 2002-11-13:
- #defining yyerror to steal internal variables is discouraged.
It is not guaranteed to work forever.
* %destructor
It is now possible to reclaim the memory associated to symbols
discarded during error recovery. This feature is still experimental.
* POSIX conformance
* Bison now parses C99 lexical constructs like UCNs and
backslash-newline within C escape sequences, as POSIX 1003.1-2001 requires.
- Semicolons are once again optional at the end of grammar rules.
This reverts to the behavior of Bison 1.33 and earlier, and improves
compatibility with Yacc.
* --no-line works properly.
- `parse error' -> `syntax error'
Bison now uniformly uses the term `syntax error'; formerly, the code
and manual sometimes used the term `parse error' instead. POSIX
requires `syntax error' in diagnostics, and it was thought better to
be consistent.
* %error-verbose
This new directive is preferred over YYERROR_VERBOSE.
- The documentation now emphasizes that yylex and yyerror must be
declared before use. C99 requires this.
* %lex-param, %parse-param
These new directives are preferred over PARSE_PARAM and LEX_PARAM.
In addition, they provide a means for yyerror to remain pure, and
to access to the current location.
- Bison now parses C99 lexical constructs like UCNs and
backslash-newline within C escape sequences, as POSIX 1003.1-2001 requires.
#defining yyerror to steal internal variables is strongly
discouraged. It is not guaranteed to work for ever.
- File names are properly escaped in C output. E.g., foo\bar.y is
output as "foo\\bar.y".
* #line
Bison now recognizes #line in its input, and forwards them.
- Yacc command and library now available
The Bison distribution now installs a `yacc' command, as POSIX requires.
Also, Bison now installs a small library liby.a containing
implementations of Yacc-compatible yyerror and main functions.
This library is normally not useful, but POSIX requires it.
* #line
File names are properly escaped. E.g. foo\bar.y give #line 123 "foo\\bar.y".
- Type clashes now generate warnings, not errors.
Changes in version 1.75a, 2002-10-24:
- If the user does not define YYSTYPE as a macro, Bison now declares it
using typedef instead of defining it as a macro.
For consistency, YYLTYPE is also declared instead of defined.
* Other compatibility issues
- %union directives can now have a tag before the `{', e.g., the
directive `%union foo {...}' now generates the C code
`typedef union foo { ... } YYSTYPE;'; this is for Yacc compatibility.
The default union tag is `YYSTYPE', for compatibility with Solaris 9 Yacc.
For consistency, YYLTYPE's struct tag is now `YYLTYPE' not `yyltype'.
This is for compatibility with both Yacc and Bison 1.35.
- `;' is output before the terminating `}' of an action, for
compatibility with Bison 1.35.
- Bison now uses a Yacc-style format for conflict reports, e.g.,
`conflicts: 2 shift/reduce, 1 reduce/reduce'.
- `yystype' and `yyltype' are now obsolescent macros instead of being
typedefs or tags; they are no longer documented and are planned to be
withdrawn in a future release.
* GLR parser notes
- GLR and inline
Users of Bison have to decide how they handle the portability of the
C keyword `inline'.
- `parsing stack overflow...' -> `parser stack overflow'
GLR parsers now report `parser stack overflow' as per the Bison manual.
* 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.
* #line in output files
- --no-line works properly.
* Bison can no longer be built by a K&R C compiler; it requires C89 or
later to be built. This change originally took place a few versions
