c++: exhibit a safe symbol_type
Instead of introducing make_symbol (whose name, btw, somewhat
infringes on the user's "name space", if she defines a token named
"symbol"), let's make the construction of symbol_type safer, using
assertions.
For instance with:
%token ':' <std::string> ID <int> INT;
generate:
symbol_type (int token, const std::string&);
symbol_type (int token, const int&);
symbol_type (int token);
It does mean that now named token constructors (make_ID, make_INT,
etc.) go through a useless assert, but I think we can ignore this: I
assume any decent compiler will inline the symbol_type ctor inside the
make_TOKEN functions, which will show that the assert is trivially
verified, hence I expect no code will be emitted for it. And anyway,
that's an assert, NDEBUG controls it.
* data/c++.m4 (symbol_type): Turn into a subclass of
basic_symbol<by_type>.
Declare symbol constructors when variants are enabled.
* data/variant.hh (_b4_type_constructor_declare)
(_b4_type_constructor_define): Replace with...
(_b4_symbol_constructor_declare, _b4_symbol_constructor_def): these.
Generate symbol_type constructors.
* doc/bison.texi (Complete Symbols): Document.
* tests/types.at: Check.

*** C++: Actual token constructors
|

|
||||
When variants and token constructors are enabled, in addition to the
|
||||
type-safe named token constructors (make_ID, amke_INT, etc.), we now
|
||||
generate genuine constructors for symbol_type.
|
||||
|
||||
For instance with these declarations
|
||||
|
||||
%token ':'
|
||||
<std::string> ID
|
||||
<int> INT;
|
||||
|
||||
you may use these constructors:
|
||||
|
||||
symbol_type (int token, const std::string&);
|
||||
symbol_type (int token, const int&);
|
||||
symbol_type (int token);
|
||||
|
||||
which should be used in a Flex-scanner as follows.
|
||||
|
||||
%%
|
||||
[a-z]+ return yy::parser::symbol_type (ID, yytext);
|
||||
[0-9]+ return yy::parser::symbol_type (INT, text_to_int (yytext);
|
||||
":" return yy::parser::symbol_type (’:’);
|
||||
<<EOF>> return yy::parser::symbol_type (0);

If your application requires C++11 and you don't use symbol constructors,
