* doc/bison.texinfo (Decl Summary): Document the "lex_symbol" and
"variant" %define variables.
(C++ Semantic Values): Split into...
(C++ Unions, C++ Variants): these.
The latter is new.
(C++ Parser Interface): Fix type names.
Document parser::syntax_error.
Document the fact that locations are not mandatory.
(C++ Scanner Interface): Split into...
(Split Symbols, Complete Symbols): these.
The later is new.
(Calc++ Parsing Driver): Use variants.
Add more comments.
Adjust style.
(Calc++ Parser): Declare all the tokens, no
longer accept raw characters.
Remove %union.
Adjust types and printers.
Remove destructors.
(Calc++ Scanner): Use make_<SYMBOL> functions.
Use strerror in error message.
* data/c++.m4, data/lalr1.cc (parser::symbol_type): Change the
constructor to take a token_type instead of the (internal) symbol
number.
Call yytranslate_.
* data/variant.hh (b4_symbol_constructor_define_): Therefore,
don't call yytranslate_ here.
It is common to use sort of factories in the user actions. These
factories may check some "syntactic" constraints that are not
enforced by the grammar itself. This is possible using YYERROR
within the action itself. Provide the user with a means to throw
a syntax_error exception.
* data/c++.m4 (b4_public_types_declare, b4_public_types_define):
Declare and define yy::parser::syntax_error.
* data/lalr1.cc: Include stdexcept.
(yy::parser::parse): Wrap the user action within a try/catch.
* data/glr.cc: Include stdexcept.
* NEWS (2.6): Document %param, %lex-param, and %parse-param
changes.
* doc/bison.texinfo: Document that %lex-param and %parse-param
are n-ary.
Changes some examples to demonstrate it.
(Calc++ Parser): Use %param.
Provide a means to factor lex-param and parse-param common
declarations.
* src/parse-gram.y (param_type): New.
Define a %printer for it.
(add_param): Use it.
(%parse-param, %lex-param): Merge into...
(%parse): this new token.
Adjust the grammar to use it.
* src/scan-gram.l (RETURN_VALUE): New.
(RETURN_PERCENT_FLAG): Use it.
(RETURN_PERCENT_PARAM): New.
Use it to support %parse-param, %lex-param and %param.
This patch simplifies "variables: rename namespace as api.namespace",
commit 6750106107.
Suggested by Joel E. Denny in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2009-07/msg00006.html
* src/muscle-tab.c (muscle_percent_variable_update): New.
(muscle_percent_define_insert): Use it in replacement of the
previous tr invocation.
Remove variable_tr, no longer needed.
* data/bison.m4 (b4_percent_define_copy_, b4_percent_define_copy):
Remove.
* data/c++.m4: No longer handle namespace -> api.namespace.
* tests/input.at (%define backward compatibility): Check that
namespace is treated as api.namespace.
doc: %initial-action to initialize yylloc.
Reported by Bill Allombert.
* doc/bison.texinfo: Set fill-column to 76.
(Location Type): Document the use of %initial-action to initialize
yylloc.
yystate and yystack_[0].state are equal, keep only the latter.
The former was also used as a temporary variable to compute the
post-reduction state. Move this computation into an auxiliary
function.
* data/glr.c (yyLRgotoState): Fuse variable definition and first
assignment.
* data/lalr1.cc (yy_lr_goto_state_): New.
(yyparse): Use it.
Replace remaining uses of yystate by yystate_[0].state.
Remove the former.
* data/lalr1.cc (yyreduce): Compute the resulting state before
running the user action so that yylhs is a valid symbol.
(yyerrorlab): Since yylhs is complete (it knows its type), we can
simply call yy_destroy_ to destroy $$ on YYERROR invocations.
* tests/c++.at (AT_CHECK_VARIANTS): Test YYERROR with variants.
Bison was uselessly requiring the formatstring macros from
gettext, which resulted in mo files not being installed on systems
that perfectly supported Bison mo files. Lower the requirement.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2009-08/msg00006.html
* configure.ac: Require need-ngettext instead of
need-formatstring-macros.
Reported by Martin Jabocs.
Suggested by Bruno Haible.
* INSTALL: Restructure.
(Internationalization): New.
(cherry picked from commit b9e42bb439)
Some of our targets use "bison --help", but they can't depend on
"bison" itself (to avoid additional requirements on the user), so
they used to call "make src/bison" in the commands. Then
concurrent builds may fail: one make might be aiming one of its
jobs at compiling src/bison, and another job at generating the man
page. If the latter is faster than the former, then we have two
makes that concurrently try to compile src/bison.
This might also be a more convincing explanation for the failure
described in the patch "build: fix paths".
* Makefile.am (SUFFIXES): Initialize.
* build-aux/move-if-change: New, symlink to gnulib's.
* build-aux/local.mk: Ship it.
* doc/common.x: Remove, merged into...
* doc/bison.x: here.
* doc/local.mk (doc/bison.help): New.
($(CROSS_OPTIONS_TEXI)): Depend on it.
Use src/bison.
(.x.1): Replace with...
(doc/bison.1): this explicit, simpler, target.
(common_dep): Remove, inlined where appropriate.
(SUFFIXES, PREPATH): Remove, unused.
* configure.ac (gl_PREFIXED_LIBOBJS): Don't rename it, rather,
change the value of...
(gl_LIBOBJS): this.
Adjust more variables.
* etc/prefix-gnulib-mk (prefix_assignment): Don't rename
gl_LIBOBJS.
(prefix): Also transform rules whose targets have slashes.
Use $prefix liberally.
Map @MKDIR_P@ to $(MKDIR_P).
Prefix directories that are mkdir'd.
When using $(top_builddir) inconsistently, Make (including GNU
Make) is sometimes confused. As a result it may want to build
lib/libbison.la and $(top_builddir)/lib/libbison.la (the same
file, different names) concurrently, which, amusingly enough,
might end with:
ranlib lib/libbison.a
ranlib lib/libbison.a
make[2]: *** [lib/libbison.a] Segmentation fault
on OS X.
* doc/local.mk, src/local.mk: Do not use $(top_builddir) when not
needed.
* examples/calc++/Makefile.am (calc.stamp): New.
Depend on it to create the sources of calc++ so that concurrent
builds don't launch several "extexi" in parallel.
Not only this is inefficient, this also builds incorrect sources
with several extractions mixed together.
* data/bison.m4: Move code related to specific variables after the
definition of the variable-maintaining macros so that we don't
"invoke" b4_percent_define_check_values before it is defined.
Implement, document, and test the replacement of %error-verbose
by %define parse.error "verbose".
* data/bison.m4 (b4_error_verbose_if): Reimplement to track the
values of the parse.error variable.
Make "simple" its default value.
Check the valid values.
* src/parse-gram.y: Use %define parse.error.
(PERCENT_ERROR_VERBOSE): New token.
Support it.
* src/scan-gram.l: Support %error-verbose.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Decl Summary): Replace the documentation of
%define error-verbose by that of %define parse.error.
* NEWS: Document it.
* tests/actions.at, tests/calc.at: Use parse.error instead of
%error-verbose.
Discussed in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2009-04/msg00033.html
* data/bison.m4 (b4_percent_define_copy_, b4_percent_define_copy):
New.
(b4_percent_define_use): New.
Use it where applicable.
* data/c++.m4: Replace uses of the variable "namespace" by
"api.namespace".
Default the latter to the former.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Decl Summary): Document "namespace" as
obsolete.
Document api.namespace.
Use @samp to document %define uses, keep @code for identifiers.
* NEWS: Likewise.
* tests/c++.at, tests/input.at: Test api.namespace instead of
namespace. (The tests passed with namespace.)
Some consistency checks on symbols are performed after all the
symbols were read, by an iteration over the symbol table. This
traversal is nondeterministic, which can be a problem for test
cases.
Avoid this.
Addresses another form of nondeterminism reported by Joel E. Denny.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2009-05/msg00023.html
* tests/input.at (Numbered tokens): Split the hexadecimal/decimal
test in two.
Use different file names for the three tests to make the
maintenance easier.
* gnulib: Update to latest.
* lib/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore, m4/.cvsignore,
* m4/.gitignore: Regen.
* src/symtab.c (symbol_from_uniqstr, semantic_type_from_uniqstr):
Call xalloc_die on hash_insert failures.
Requested by the new __warn_unused_result__ attribute of
hash_insert.
* doc/bison.simple (Decl Summary): Document token.prefix.
(Calc++ Parser): Various fixes.
Formatting changes.
Use token.prefix.
Introduce a macro TOKEN to shorten the code and make it more
readable.
(Calc++ Scanner): Adjust.
* NEWS (Variable token.prefix): New.
* data/bison.m4 (b4_percent_define_if_define_): Also map dashes to
underscores.
* src/scan-gram.l ({id}): Also accept dashes after the initial
letter.
({directive}): Use {id}.
* src/parse-gram.y: Comment and formatting changes.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Symbols): Adjust the lexical definitions of
symbols.
* src/complain.h, src/complain.c (yacc_at): New.
* src/symtab.c (symbol_new): Use yacc_at to report inappropriate
symbol names.
* src/output.c (token_definitions_output): Do not #define token
names with dashes.
* src/getargs.h, src/getargs.c (locations_flag): Remove.
* src/getargs.c, src/scan-code.l: Use muscle_percent_define_ensure
to set "locations" to true.
* src/output.c (prepare): Don't output "locations".
* src/scan-gram.l (%locations): Handle it as a %<flag>.
* src/parse-gram.y: It's no longer a token.
Don't handle it.
* data/bison.m4 (b4_locations_if): Define it with
b4_percent_define_if_define.
* data/c.m4, data/glr.cc: Adjust.
Suggested by Joel E. Denny.
* src/muscle_tab.h, src/muscle_tab.c (muscle_percent_define_ensure):
New, extracted from...
* src/parse-gram.y (prologue_declaration: pure-parser): here.
Remove it.
(prologue_declaration: "%<flag>"): Use
muscle_percent_define_ensure.
(%error-verbose, %pure-parser): No longer tokens.
* src/scan-gram.l (pure-parser): Return as a %<flag>.
* src/parse-gram.y (PERCENT_DEBUG, PERCENT_ERROR_VERBOSE): Token
definitions and associated rules, replaced by....
(PERCENT_FLAG): this new token type, and rule.
* src/scan-gram.l (RETURN_PERCENT_FLAG): New.
Use it for %debug and %error-verbose.
This allows to pass -Derror_verbose on the command line. Better yet, it
allows to pass -Derror_verbose=$(ERROR_VERBOSE), with ERROR_VERBOSE being
defined as false or true.
* data/bison.m4 (b4_percent_define_if_define): Instead of relying
on b4_percent_define_ifdef, for does not check the defined value,
but only whether the symbol is defined, rely on
b4_percent_define_flag_if, so that a value of "false" is processed
as a false.
If not defined, define the flag to "false".
(b4_error_verbose_if): New.
* data/glr.c, data/lalr1.cc, data/yacc.c: Use it instead of
b4_error_verbose_flag.
* src/getargs.h, src/getargs.c (error_verbose_flag): Remove.
* src/output.c (prepare): Don't output it.
* src/parse-gram.y (%error-verbose): Treat as %define error_verbose.
GCC 4.3 now warns about "a || b && c" and asks for explicit
parentheses.
Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
* data/location.cc: Update copyright years.
(Position::operator==): Use parens to make precedence explicit.
Compare lines and columns first, as they are more likely to be
different, and they are faster to compare.
Yes, this obfuscates the point of this example, variants only. But glr.cc
cannot work (yet?) without locations. This change makes it easier to use
this example with glr.cc.
* examples/variant.yy (assert): %define it.
(locations): Request them.
(yylex): Bind the location to the stage.
* data/c++.m4 (b4_symbol_constructor_declare)
(b4_symbol_constructor_define): New empty stubs.
(b4_public_types_declare, b4_public_types_define): Use them.
* data/lalr1.cc (b4_symbol_constructor_declare)
(b4_symbol_constructor_declare_)
(b4_symbol_constructor_define_, b4_symbol_constructor_define):
Move to...
* data/variant.hh: here.
Remove the "b4_variant_if" parts, as variant.hh is loaded only if
needed.
* data/lalr1.cc: No longer invoke b4_symbol_constructor_define and
b4_symbol_constructor_declare, as it is now done by
b4_public_types_define and b4_public_types_declare.
* data/c++.m4 (b4_public_types_declare): Now define
symbol_type_base and symbol_type.
(b4_public_types_define): New.
In both cases, the definitions are taken verbatim from lalr1.cc.
* data/lalr1.cc: Adjust.
