Many 'inline' keywords were in the declarations. They rather belong in
definitions, so move them.
* data/c++.m4 (basic_symbol, by_type): Many inlines here.
* data/lalr1.cc (yytranslate_, yy_destroy_, by_state, yypush_, yypop_): Inline
these as well.
(move): Move the definition outside the struct, where it belongs.
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.
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.
* data/c++.m4 (basic_symbol): Keep 'inline' in the prototypes, but don't
duplicate it in the implementation.
* data/variant.hh (variant): 'inline' is not needed when the implementation is
provided in the class definition.
* data/variant.hh (variant, operator=): Make private.
* data/c++.m4 (operator=): New, to avoid needing a definition of that operator
for each class member (such as a possible variant).
* data/glr.cc, data/lalr.cc: Add the necessary include for the abort.
A "symbol" groups together the symbol type (INT, PLUS, etc.), its
possible semantic value, and its optional location. The type is
needed to access the value, as it is stored as a variant/union.
There are two kinds of symbols. "symbol_type" are "external symbols":
they have type, value and location, and are returned by yylex.
"stack_symbol_type" are "internal symbols", they group state number,
value and location, and are stored in the parser stack. The type of
the symbol is computed from the state number.
The class template symbol_base_type<Exact> factors the code common to
stack_symbol_type and symbol_type. It uses the Curiously Recurring
Template pattern so that we can always (static_) downcast to the exact
type. symbol_base_type features value and location, and delegates the
handling of the type to its parameter.
When trying to generalize the support for variant, a significant issue
was revealed: because stack_symbol_type and symbol_type _derive_ from
symbol_base_type, the type/state member is defined _after_ the value
and location. In C++ the order of the definition of the members
defines the order in which they are initialized, things go backward:
the value is initialized _before_ the type. This is wrong, since the
type is needed to access the value.
Therefore, we need another means to factor the common code, one that
ensures the order of the members.
The idea is simple: define two (base) classes that code the symbol
type ("by_type" codes it by its type, and "by_state" by the state
number). Define basic_symbol<Base> as the class template that
provides value and location support. Make it _derive_ from its
parameter, by_type or by_state. Then define stack_symbol_type and
symbol_type as basic_symbol<by_state>, basic_symbol<by_type>. The
name basic_symbol was chosen by similarity with basic_string and
basic_ostream.
* data/c++.m4 (symbol_base_type<Exact>): Remove, replace by...
(basic_symbol<Base>): which derives from its parameter, one of...
(by_state, by_type): which provide means to retrieve the actual type of
symbol.
(symbol_type): Is now basic_symbol<by_type>.
(stack_symbol_type): Is now basic_symbol<by_state>.
* data/lalr1.cc: Many adjustments.
This is consistent with the other %define variable names.
* data/java.m4: Use api.value.type instead of stype.
* doc/bison.texi, NEWS: Document that change.
* src/muscle-tab.c (muscle_percent_variable_update): Provide backward
compatibility.
* tests/java.at: Adjust.
So far we were issuing two lines for each syncline change:
/* Line 356 of yacc.c */
#line 1 "src/parse-gram.y"
This is a lot of clutter, especially when reading diffs, as these
lines change often. Fuse them into a single, shorter, line:
#line 1 "src/parse-gram.y" /* yacc.c:356 */
* data/bison.m4 (b4_syncline): Issue a single line.
Comment improvements.
(b4_sync_start, b4_sync_end): Issue a shorter comment.
* data/c++.m4 (b4_semantic_type_declare): b4_user_code must be
on its own line as it might start with a "#line" directive.
The commit 38de4e570f underquoted the
content of the comments, which resulted in losing square brackets in
the comments. Besides, some other invocations were underquoting the
effective arguments.
* data/c.m4 (b4_comment_): Properly quote the comment.
(b4_comment_, b4_comment): Move to...
* data/c-like.m4: here, so that...
* data/java.m4: can use it instead of its own copy.
* data/bison.m4 (b4_integral_parser_tables_map): Fix some comments.
* data/lalr1.cc, data/lalr1.java, data/yacc.c: Comment fixes.
* data/lalr1.cc: Reorder a bit to factor some CPP directives.
The YYLEX existed only to support YYLEX_PARAM, which is now removed.
This macro was a nuisance, since incorrect yylex calls where pointed
the macro _use_, instead of its definition.
* data/c.m4 (b4_lex_formals, b4_lex): New.
* data/glr.c, data/yacc.c: Use it.
* data/lalr1.cc (b4_lex): New.
Use it.
squash! skeletons: no longer call yylex via a CPP macro
* data/c.m4 (b4_token_enum): Improve comments.
(b4_value_type_define, b4_location_type_define): New, extracted
from...
(b4_declare_yylstype): here.
Separate the typedefs from the union/struct definitions.
* src/muscle-tab.c (define_directive): Be robust to "assignment"
containing '='.
(muscle_percent_variable_update): Upgrade "variant" to "api.value.type".
Support such upgrade patterns.
Adjust callers.
* data/bison.m4: Use api.value.type for variants.
* tests/c++.at: Adjust tests.
This is mostly used for the license header, the synclines, and the
generated tables:
- /* STOS_[STATE-NUM] -- The (internal number of the) accessing
- symbol of state STATE-NUM. */
+ // STOS_[STATE-NUM] -- The (internal number of the) accessing
+ // symbol of state STATE-NUM.
static const unsigned char yystos_[];
* data/c.m4: Comment changes.
(b4_comment_): Expand the text argument.
Before this change, we were actually formatting M4 code as a
C comment, and then expand it.
(b4_comment): Fix the closing of comments: there is no reason to
add the (line) prefix before the closing "*/".
* data/c++.m4 (b4_comment): New.
The "variant" structure provides a means to store, in a typeless way,
C++ objects. Manipulating it without provide the type of the stored
content is doomed to failure. So provide a means to copy in a type
safe way, and prohibit typeless assignments.
* data/c++.m4 (symbol_type::move): New.
* data/lalr1.cc: Use it.
* data/variant.hh (b4_variant_define): Provide variant::copy.
Let variant::operator= abort.
We cannot undefine it, yet, as it is still uses by the implicit
assigment in symbols, which must also be disabled.
Equip variants with more checking code. Provide a means to request
includes.
* data/variant.hh (b4_variant_includes): New.
* data/lalr1.cc: Use it.
* data/variant.hh (variant::built): Define at the end, as a private member.
(variant::tname): New.
Somewhat makes "built" useless, but let's keep both for a start, in
case using "typeinfo" is considered unacceptable in some environments.
Fix some formatting issues.
The fact that glr.cc uses glr.c makes the handling of parse params
more complex, as the parser object of glr.cc must be passed to the
parse function of glr.c. Yet not all the functions need access to
the parser object.
* data/glr.cc (b4_parse_param_wrap): New.
Use them.
* data/glr.c, src/graphviz.h, src/ielr.c, src/scan-gram.l,
* src/system.h, tests/actions.at, tests/glr-regression.at: Do not
use // comments.
Do not introduce variables after statements.
Provide "main" with a return value.
* origin/maint:
misc: pacify the Tiny C Compiler
cpp: make the check of Flex version portable
misc: require getline
c++: support wide strings for file names
doc: document carets
tests: enhance existing tests with carets
