version 3.0.3
gnulib: update
Currently on the following grammar:
%type <foo> foo
%%
start: foo | bar | "baz"
foo: foo
bar: bar
bison reports:
warning: 2 nonterminals useless in grammar [-Wother]

i.e., the location of the first occurrence of a symbol is taken as its
definition point. In the case of nonterminals, the first occurrence
as a left-hand side of a rule makes more sense:
warning: 2 nonterminals useless in grammar [-Wother]
warning: 4 rules useless in grammar [-Wother]

In the following grammar, the 'exp' nonterminal is trivially useless.
So, of course, its rules are useless too.

Previously all the useless rules were reported, including those whose
left-hand side is the 'exp' nonterminal:
warning: 1 nonterminal useless in grammar [-Wother]
warning: 4 rules useless in grammar [-Wother]
2.14-16: warning: nonterminal useless in grammar: exp [-Wother]

! ^^^^^^^^^^^
! 3.34-44: warning: rule useless in grammar [-Wother]
! exp: exp '+' exp | exp '-' exp | '(' exp ')'

The interest of being so verbose is dubious. I suspect most of the
time nonterminals are not expected to be useless, so the user wants to
fix the nonterminal, not remove its rules. And even if the user
wanted to get rid of its rules, the position of these rules probably
does not help more that just having the name of the nonterminal.
This commit discard these messages, marked with '!', and keep the
others. In particular, we still report:
2.14-16: warning: rule useless in grammar [-Wother]
input: '0' | exp
^^^
All the useless rules (including the '!' ones) are still reported in
the reports (xml, text, etc.); only the diagnostics on stderr change.

Bison supports a union tag, for obscure reasons. But it does a poor
job at it, especially since Bison 3.0.
Reported by Stephen Cameron and Tobias Frost.
It did not ensure that the name was not given several times. An easy
way to do this is to make the %union tag be handled as a %define
variable, as they cannot be defined several times.
Since Bison 3.0, the synclines were wrongly placed, resulting in
invalid code. Addressing this issue, because of the way the union tag
was stored (as a code muscle), would have been tedious. Unless we
rather define the %union tag as a %percent variable, whose synclines
are easier to manipulate.
So replace the b4_union_name muscle by the api.value.union.name
%define variable, document, and check.
* data/bison.m4: Make sure that api.value.union.name has a keyword value.
* data/c++.m4: Make sure that api.value.union.name is not defined.
* data/c.m4 (b4_union_name): No longer use it, use api.value.union.name.
* doc/bison.texi (%define Summary): Document it.

* tests/input.at (Redefined %union name): New.
* tests/synclines.at (%union name syncline): New.
* tests/types.at: Check named %unions.
clang, with -DNDEBUG and -Werror fails on some functions that might
lack a return. This is because aver is just another assert, discarded
with -DNDEBUG. So use abort.
* src/muscle-tab.c, src/scan-skel.l: here.
This completes and fixes a728075710.
Reported by Valentin Tolmer.
Before it Bison used to put the properties of the symbols
(associativity, printer, etc.) in the 'symbol' structure. An
identifier-named token (FOO) and its string-named alias ("foo")
duplicated these properties, and symbol_check_alias_consistency()
checked that both had compatible properties and fused them, at the end
of the parsing of the grammar.
The commit a728075710 introduces a
sym_content structure that keeps all these properties, and ensures
that both aliases point to the same sym_content (instead of
duplicating). However, it removed symbol_check_alias_consistency,
which resulted in the non-fusion of *existing* properties:
%token FOO "foo"
%left FOO %left "foo"
was properly diagnosed as a redeclaration, but
%left FOO %left "foo"
%token FOO "foo"
was not, as the properties of FOO and "foo" were not checked before
fusion. It certainly also means that
%left "foo"
%token FOO "foo"
did not transfer properly the associativity to FOO.
The fix is simple: reintroduce symbol_check_alias_consistency (under a
better name, symbol_merge_properties) and call it where appropriate.
Also, that commit made USER_NUMBER_HAS_STRING_ALIAS useless, but left
it.
* src/symtab.h (USER_NUMBER_HAS_STRING_ALIAS): Remove, unused.
Adjust dependencies.
* src/symtab.c (symbol_merge_properties): New, based on the former
symbol_check_alias_consistency.

Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz as "second problem" in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2013-09/msg00015.html
One problem is that some errors are caught early, before the
generation of output files, while others can only be detected
afterwards (since, for instance, skeletons can raise errors
themselves).
This will be addressed in two steps: early errors do not generate
source files at all, while later errors will remove the files that
have already been generated.
* src/scan-skel.l (yyout): Open to /dev/null when there are errors.
* tests/output.at (AT_CHECK_FILES): Factored out of...
(AT_CHECK_OUTPUT): this.
Fuse the "SHELLIO" argument in the "FLAGS" one.
Use $5 to denote the expected exit status.
Add a test case for early errors.
Apply the same rules for aver as for assert: no side effects,
especially not important ones.
* src/AnnotationList.c, src/muscle-tab.c: Adjust aver uses to resist
to -DNDEBUG.
* configure.ac (ENABLE_YACC): New conditional.
(YACC_SCRIPT, YACC_LIBRARY): Remove.
* lib/local.mk, src/local.mk: Use the former instead of the latter.
* doc/local.mk: Use ENABLE_YACC to avoid installing yacc.1.
* src/scan-code.l (show_sub_message):
Redo initializations to work around a bogus Sun C 5.12 warning.
(parse_ref): Remove unreachable code that Sun C 5.12 complains about.
* src/uniqstr.h (uniqstr_vsprintf): Use
_GL_ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT_PRINTF (...) instead of __attribute__
((__format__ (__printf__, ...))). Otherwise, Sun C 5.12
complains about an unknown attribute.
Currently "-Werror -Wno-error=foo" still turns "foo" warnings into errors.
Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2013-09/msg00015.html.
* src/complain.c (errority, errority_flag): New.
(complain_init): Initialize the latter.
(warning_argmatch): Extract the loop iterating on the flag's bits.
Set and unset errority_flag here.
(warnings_argmatch): -Wno-error is not the same as -Wno-error=everything:
we must remember if category foo was explicitly turned in an error/warning
via -W(no-)error=foo.
(warning_severity): Use errority_flag.
* tests/input.at (Symbols): Just check --yacc, not -Wyacc, that's the
job of tests on -W.
(-Werror is not affected by -Wnone and -Wall): Rename as...
(-Werror combinations): this.
Tests more combinations of -W, -W(no-)error, and -W(no-)error=foo.
* tests/local.at (AT_BISON_CHECK_WARNINGS): Don't expect -Werror
to turn runs that issue warnings into runs with errors, as the
warnings might be enforced as warnings by -Wno-error=foo, in which
case -Werror does not change anything.
* doc/bison.texi (Bison Options): Try to be clearer about how
-W(no-)error and -W(no-)error=foo interact.
