It would be a pity to warn the users against Bison features...
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2013-02/msg00107.html
* src/complain.h, src/complain.c (Wall): Disable Wyacc.
(Weverything): New (hidden so far) category which really denotes all
the categories (what used to be Wall).
(warnings_args, warnings_types): Adjust.
(warning_argmatch): Now !none = Weverything and conversely, no longer Wall.
* NEWS, doc/bison.texi, src/getargs.c: Adjust the documentation.
* tests/input.at (-Werror is not affected by -Wnone and -Wall): Adjust
by not using a -Wyacc type of warning.
Bison 3.0 is already breaking backward compatibility with other
features. It is an appropriate time to drop this feature. Note that
it was disabled when --yacc is passed. See
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2013-02/msg00102.html
Basically, revert e8cd1ad655.
* src/scan-code.l (braces_level, need_semicolon, in_cpp): Remove.
Remove every rule needed to detect and add missing semicolon.
* tests/actions.at (Fix user actions without a trailing semicolon):
Remove.
* NEWS: Adjust.
This is to match the names used in C and api.value.type, even if the
parser actually defines semantic_type.
* data/c++.m4 (b4_semantic_type_declare): Rename as...
(b4_value_type_declare): this.
* data/variant.hh: Likewise.
* tests/c++.at (Object): Somehow instances of Object were assigned
YY_NULL, which is 0 most of the time (that case passes), but is
nullptr in C++11, and there is nothing in Object to support such an
assignment (failure). Use 0 as value, and provide the needed
assignment operator.
Also, use a more natural order within the class definition.
* configure.ac (WARN_NO_NULL_CONVERSION_CXXFLAGS): Rename as...
(FLEX_SCANNER_CXXFLAGS): this.
Pass -Wno-zero-as-null-pointer-constant to G++ if it supports it.
* examples/calc++/local.mk: Adjust.
The changes by Théophile Ranquet about type punning issues need
to be extend to in-place new to please G++ 4.4.7.
* data/variant.hh (variant::as_): New, factors the casts that avoid
compiler warnings.
(as, build): Use them.
When reporting a duplicate directive on a rule, point to its first
occurrence:
one.y:11.10-15: error: only one %empty allowed per rule
%empty {} %empty
^^^^^^
one.y:11.3-8: previous declaration
%empty {} %empty
^^^^^^
And consistently discard the second one.
* src/complain.h, src/complain.c (duplicate_directive): New.
* src/reader.c: Use it where appropriate.
* src/symlist.h, src/symlist.c (symbol_list): Add a dprec_location member.
* tests/actions.at: Adjust expected output.
* doc/bison.texi (Grammar Rules): Make it a @section which
contains...
(Rules Syntax): this new subsection (with the previous contents of
"Grammar Rules".
(Empty Rules): New subsection, extracted from the former
"Grammar Rules".
Document %empty.
(Recursion): New a subsection of "Grammar Rules".
Complete a few index entries.
(Bison Options): Document -Wempty-rule.
* src/complain.h, src/complain.c (warning_is_unset): New.
* src/reader.c (grammar_current_rule_empty_set): If enabled -Wempty-rule,
if not disabled.
* tests/actions.at (Implicitly empty rule): Check this feature.
Also check that -Wno-empty-rule does disable this warning.
Provide a means to explicitly denote empty right-hand sides of rules:
instead of
exp: { ... }
allow
exp: %empty { ... }
Make sure that %empty is properly used.
With help from Joel E. Denny and Gabriel Rassoul.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2013-01/msg00142.html
* src/reader.h, src/reader.c (grammar_current_rule_empty_set): New.
* src/parse-gram.y (%empty): New token.
Use it.
* src/scan-gram.l (%empty): Scan it.
* src/reader.c (grammar_rule_check): Check that %empty is properly used.
* tests/actions.at (Invalid uses of %empty, Valid uses of %empty): New.
This allows to reduce the number of public interfaces.
* src/getargs.c (--yacc): Use warning_argmatch instead of tweaking
directly warnings_flag (which will be private).
(warning_argmatch, warnings_argmatch): Move to...
* src/complain.h, src/complain.c: here.
* src/getargs.h, src/getargs.c (warnings_args, warnings_types): Move to...
* src/complain.c: here, now private.
* src/complain.h (severity, warnings_flag): Move to...
* src/complain.c: here, now private.
Recent discussions with Joel E. Denny
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2013-02/msg00026.html)
show that it is desirable to tell the difference between an option
that was explicitly disabled with -Wno-foo, as opposed to be left
unset. The current framework does not allow this.
Instead of having a first int to store which options are enabled, and
another to store which are turned into errors, use an array that for
each warning category tells its status: disabled, unset, warning,
error.
* src/complain.h, src/complain.c (warning_bit): New enum.
(warnings): Use it.
(severity): New enum.
(warnings_flag): Now an array of severity.
(errors_flag): Remove, now done by warnings_flag.
(complain_init): New function, to initialie warnings_flag.
(warnings_are_errors): New Boolean, for -Werror.
* src/complain.c (warning_severity): New.
(warnings_print_categories, complains): Use it.
* src/getargs.c (warning_argmatch): Adjust to use warnings_flag.
(warnings_argmatch): Ditto.
Handle -Werror and -Wno-error here.
(getargs): Adjust.
* src/main.c (main): Call complain_init.
* tests/input.at (Invalid options): Add more corner cases.
* src/getargs.c (warnings_argmatch, warning_argmatch): Simplify by
replacing function arguments with their actual values.
(WARNING_ARGMATCH): Remove, useless.
Adjust callers.
* src/getargs.c (warning_argmatch, warnings_argmatch, WARNINGS_ARGMATCH):
New.
Use them for -W/--warning.
They are copied from...
(flag_argmatch, flags_argmatch, FLAGS_ARGMATCH): these.
Simplify by removing the support for "error".
* tests/input.at (Invalid options): New.
* TODO (Laxism in Bison invocation arguments): Remove.
* src/getargs.h, src/getargs.c (warnings_args, warnings_types): Make
them public.
* src/complain.h, src/complain.c (warnings_print_categories): Its
only use outside complain.c was removed in a recent commit, so
make it static.
Simplify its implementation.
Use warnings_args and warnings_types.
* src/muscle-tab.c (muscle_percent_define_check_values): Make it
silent.
* src/gram.c (grammar_rules_useless_report): Let -fcaret handle the
pretty-printing of the guilty rules.
(rule_print): Inline in its only use.
* tests/conflicts.at, tests/existing.at, tests/reduce.at,
* tests/regression.at: Adjust.
* NEWS: Document.
The argmatch functions accept prefixes of the alternatives (like
getopt does for long options). Bison uses this to document the
warning categories. This is troublesome: it duplicates the --help
documentation, it is not gettextized, it is displayed with ugly quotes
(because argmatch uses it to display the list of possible answers),
and it prevents straighforward uses of the tables of valid warning
categories (for instance so that warning diagnostics end with the name
of the warning).
The "hidden" option --trace uses the same trick, but it does not need
to be translated, nor to be described in --help.
* src/getargs.c (warnings_args): Remove pseudo documentation.
Comment changes.
* src/complain.c: Space changes.
* src/reader.c: Comment changes.
Avoid && in assertions.
* src/location.c: Move comments to...
* src/location.h: here.
* src/symlist.h, src/symlist.c: Create a pseudo section for members
that apply to the rule.
"stype" is quite unclear, and it also collides with the former %define
variable that had the same name (replaced by api.value.type).
* src/parse-gram.y (stype): Rename as...
(union_members): this.
* data/bison.m4: Adjust.
(b4_user_stype): Rename as...
(b4_user_union_members): this.
* data/c++.m4, data/c.m4: Adjust.
* src/parse-gram.c: regen.
* tests/local.at (_AT_LANG_DISPATCH): New, shamelessly stolen from
Autoconf's _AT_LANG_DISPATCH.
(AT_LANG_DISPATCH): New.
(AT_YYERROR_FORMALS, AT_YYERROR_PROTOTYPE, AT_YYERROR_DECLARE_EXTERN)
(AT_YYERROR_DECLARE, AT_YYERROR_DEFINE, AT_MAIN_DEFINE, AT_COMPILE)
(AT_FULL_COMPILE):
Use AT_LANG_DISPATCH instead of an ad hoc m4_case.
* src/reader.c (packgram): Improve readability.
The parser calls grammar_current_rule_end at the end of every rhs,
which adds a NULL to separate the rules. So there is no need to
check whether "p" is non-null before proceeding.
* src/location.h, src/location.c (location_print): For consistency
with other data structures and other location_* routines, pass the
location argument first.
* src/complain.c: Adjust.
(location_caret): Likewise.
* src/parse-gram.y: Adjust.
The syncline tests, which try to recognize compiler diagnostics,
are confused by escapes for colors.
* configure.ac (warn_tests): New, to factor the warnings for both
C and C++ tests.
Add -fno-color-diagnostics to it.
* tests/local.at (AT_TEST_TABLES_AND_PARSE): Do not remove glue
together compiler flags.
Clang++, with -Wall, rejects code generated by Flex (for C scanners):
CXX examples/calc++/examples_calc___calc__-calc++-scanner.o
In file included from examples/calc++/calc++-scanner.cc:1:
error: implicit conversion of NULL constant to 'bool' [-Werror,-Wnull-conversion]
if ( ! ( (yy_buffer_stack) ? (yy_buffer_stack)[(yy_buffer_stack_top)] : __null) ) {
~ ^~~~~~
false
* configure.ac (WARN_NO_NULL_CONVERSION_CXXFLAGS): Compute it.
* examples/calc++/local.mk (examples_calc___calc___CXXFLAGS): Use it.
* data/c++.m4, data/lalr1.cc (by_state, by_type): Do not use -1 to
denote the absence of value, as GCC then fears that this -1 might
be used to dereference arrays (such as yytname).
Use 0, which corresponds to $accept, which is valueless (the needed
property: the symbol destructor must not try to reclaim the memory
associated with the symbol).
* data/c++.m4 (b4_public_types_declare): Declare token_number_type soon.
Introduce symbol_number_type (wider than token_number_type).
Clarify the requirement that kind_type from by_state and by_type
denote the _input_ type (required by the constructor), not the stored type.
Use symbol_number_type and token_number_type where appropriate, instead
of int.
* data/lalr1.cc: Adjust to these changes.
Propagate "symbol_number_type".
Invoke "type_get ()" instead of read "type" directly.
* doc/Doxyfile.in: Let doxygen upgrade it.
(INCLUDE_PATH): Point to lib too.
(PROJECT_BRIEF): New.
(EXCLUDE): Update to reflect the current file hierarchy.
* cfg.mk: Ignore strcmp in local.at.
* tests/conflicts.at: Use AT_PARSER_CHECK.
* tests/regression.at: Preserve the exit status of the generated parsers.
* tests/local.mk ($(TESTSUITE)): Map @tb@ to a tabulation.
* tests/c++.at, tests/input.at, tests/regression.at: Use @tb@.
* cfg.mk: (space-tab): There are no longer exceptions.
When fed with foo.c, clang++ 3.2 answers:
clang: error: treating 'c' input as 'c++' when in C++ mode,
this behavior is deprecated
* tests/output.at (AT_CHECK_OUTPUT_FILE_NAME): Use *.cc and *.hh
for C++.
* tests/local.at: (Slightly) improve the regexp by escaping '.'
when it denotes a point.
(AT_VARIANT_IF): New.
* tests/c++.at (Exception Safety): Run it for variants too.
Many tests were using %defines because C++ skeletons used to require
it.
* tests/actions.at, tests/c++.at, tests/input.at, tests/regression.at:
Remove useless %defines.
Now that symbols behaves properly, we can eliminate special routines
that are no longer needed.
* data/c++.m4, data/glr.cc, data/lalr1.cc, data/variant.hh:
Remove useless assignment operators and copy constructors.
As a consequence, remove useless includes for "abort".
The current approach was too adhoc: the symbols were not sufficiently
self-contained, in particular wrt memory management. The "new"
guideline is the one that should have been followed from the start:
let the symbols handle themslves, instead of leaving their users to
it. It was justified by the will to avoid gratuitious moves and
copies, but the current approach does not seem to be slower, yet it
will probably be simpler to adjust to support move semantics from
C++11.
The documentation says that the %parse-param are available from the
%destructor. In retrospect, that was a silly design decision, which
we can break for variants, as its a new feature. It should be phased
out for non-variants too.
* data/variant.hh: A variant never knows if it stores something or
not, it is up to its users to store this information.
Yet, in parse.assert mode, make sure the empty/filled variants
are properly used.
(b4_symbol_constructor_define_): Don't call directly the symbol
constructor, to save a useless temporary.
* data/stack.hh (push): Steal the pushed value instead of duplicating
it.
This will simplify the callers of push, who handled this "move"
approach themselves.
* data/c++.m4 (basic_symbol): Let -1, as kind, denote the fact that
a symbol is empty.
This is needed for instance when shifting the lookahead: yyla
is given as argument to "push", and its value is then moved on
the stack. But then yyla must be declared "empty" so that its
destructor won't be called.
(basic_symbol::move): New.
Move the responsibility of calling the destructor from yy_destroy
to ~basic_symbol in the case of variants.
* data/lalr1.cc (stack_symbol_type): Now a derived class from its
previous value, so that we can add a constructor from a symbol_type.
(by_state): State -1 means empty.
(yypush_): Factor, by calling one overload from the other one, and
using the new semantics of stack::push.
No longer reclaim by hand the memory from rhs symbols, since now
that we store objects with proper destructors, they will be reclaimed
automatically.
Conversely, be sure to delete yylhs.
* tests/c++.at (C++ Variant-based Symbols): New "unit" test for
symbols.
* tests/local.at (AT_SETUP_STRIP): AT_SETUP does not behave properly
with new-lines in its argument.
Remove them.
Fix the handling of %define with quotes.
Recent changes (in 2.7) introduced a dependency on both FILE and
fprintf, which are "available" only in %debug mode. This was to
define yy_location_print_, which is used only in %debug mode by the
parser, but massively used by the test suite to output the locations
in yyerror.
Break this dependency: the test suite should define its own routines
to display the locations. Eventually Bison will provide the user with
a means to display locations, but not yet.
* data/c.m4 (b4_yy_location_print_define): Use YYFPRINTF instead of
fprintf directly.
* data/yacc.c (b4_yy_location_print_define): Invoke it only in %debug
mode, so that stdio.h is included (needed for FILE*), and YYFPRINTF
is defined.
* tests/local.at (AT_YYERROR_DECLARE, AT_YYERROR_DEFINE): Declare
and define location_print and LOCATION_PRINT.
* tests/actions.at, tests/existing.at, tests/glr-regression.at,
* tests/input.at, tests/named-refs.at, tests/regression.at: Adjust
to use them.
Fix the expected line numbers (as the prologue's length has changed).
See commit 3804aa260b.
* data/location.cc (operator<<): Display location exactly as is
done in C skeletons.
* tests/local.at (AT_LOC_PUSHDEF, AT_LOC_POPDEF): Also define
AT_FIRST_LINE, AT_LAST_LINE, AT_FIRST_COLUMN, AT_LAST_COLUMN.
* tests/actions.at (Location Print): Also check C++ skeletons.
* tests/local.at (AT_NAME_PREFIX): Also match api.namespace.
(AT_MAIN_DEFINE): Take it into account.
* tests/c++.at, tests/headers.at: Use AT_NAME_PREFIX.
(AT_CHECK_NAMESPACE): Rename as...
(AT_TEST): this.
* tests/local.at (AT_MAIN_DEFINE): If %debug is used, check if
-d/--debug is passed to the generated parser, and enable the traces.
Return exactly the result of yyparse, so that we can check exit code
2 too.
* tests/actions.at, tests/glr-regression.at, tests/regression.at:
Use AT_MAIN_DEFINE, helping AT_BISON_OPTION_PUSHDEFS where needed,
preferably to option -t.
* doc/bison.texi (%define Summary): Use @deffn instead of @table, it
spares a lot of width, especially in PDF, and looks nicer in the other
formats too.
It is also more consistent with the rest of the document.
