This should not be used to generate parsers. My point is actually to
facilitate debugging (when tweaking the generation of the LR(0)
automaton for instance, not carying -yet- about lookaheads).
* src/reader.c (prepare_percent_define_front_end_variables): Add lr(0).
* src/conflicts.c (set_conflicts): Be robust to reds not having
lookaheads at all.
* src/ielr.c (LrType, lr_type_get): Adjust.
(ielr): Implement support for LR(0).
* src/lalr.c (lalr_free): Don't free LA when it's not computed.
Currently on a grammar such as
exp : a '1' | a '2' | a '3' | b '1' | b '2' | b '3'
a:
b:
we count only one rr-conflict on the `b:` rule, i.e., we expect:
b: %expect-rr 1
although there are 3 conflicts in total. That's because in the
conflicted state we count only a single conflict, not three (one for
each of the lookaheads: '1', '2', '3').
State 0
0 $accept: . exp $end
1 exp: . a '1'
2 | . a '2'
3 | . a '3'
4 | . b '1'
5 | . b '2'
6 | . b '3'
7 a: . %empty ['1', '2', '3']
8 b: . %empty ['1', '2', '3']
'1' reduce using rule 7 (a)
'1' [reduce using rule 8 (b)]
'2' reduce using rule 7 (a)
'2' [reduce using rule 8 (b)]
'3' reduce using rule 7 (a)
'3' [reduce using rule 8 (b)]
$default reduce using rule 7 (a)
exp go to state 1
a go to state 2
b go to state 3

On a grammar such as

we currently report only one RR conflict, instead of two.

* tests/glr-regression.at: Fix expectations.
Currently on a grammar such as
exp: "number" | exp "+" exp | exp "*" exp
we count only one sr-conflict for both binary rules, i.e., we expect:
exp: "number" | exp "+" exp %expect 1 | exp "*" exp %expect 1
although there are 4 conflicts in total. That's because in the states
in conflict, for instance that for the "+" rule:
State 6
2 exp: exp . "+" exp
2 | exp "+" exp . [$end, "+", "*"]
3 | exp . "*" exp
"+" shift, and go to state 4
"*" shift, and go to state 5
"+" [reduce using rule 2 (exp)]
"*" [reduce using rule 2 (exp)]
$default reduce using rule 2 (exp)
we count only a single conflict, although there are two (one on "+"
and another with "*").

* src/conflicts.c (rule_has_state_sr_conflicts): Rename as...
(count_rule_state_sr_conflicts): this.
DWIM.
(count_rule_sr_conflicts): Adjust.
* tests/conflicts.at (%expect in grammar rules): New.
This change allows one to document (and check) which rules participate
in shift/reduce and reduce/reduce conflicts. This is particularly
important GLR parsers, where conflicts are a normal occurrence. For
example,
%glr-parser
%expect 1
%%
...
argument_list:
arguments %expect 1
| arguments ','
| %empty
;
arguments:
expression
| argument_list ',' expression
;
...
Looking at the output from -v, one can see that the shift-reduce
conflict here is due to the fact that the parser does not know whether
to reduce arguments to argument_list until it sees the token AFTER the
following ','. By marking the rule with %expect 1 (because there is a
conflict in one state), we document the source of the 1 overall shift-
reduce conflict.
In GLR parsers, we can use %expect-rr in a rule for reduce/reduce
conflicts. In this case, we mark each of the conflicting rules. For
example,
%glr-parser
%expect-rr 1
%%
stmt:
target_list '=' expr ';'
| expr_list ';'
;
target_list:
target
| target ',' target_list
;
target:
ID %expect-rr 1
;
expr_list:
expr
| expr ',' expr_list
;
expr:
ID %expect-rr 1
| ...
;
In a statement such as
x, y = 3, 4;
the parser must reduce x to a target or an expr, but does not know
which until it sees the '='. So we notate the two possible reductions
to indicate that each conflicts in one rule.

Rather than having duplicate info in the symbol and the alias that has
to be resolved later on, both the symbol and the alias have a common
pointer to a separate structure containing this info.
* src/symtab.h (sym_content): New structure.
* src/symtab.c (sym_content_new, sym_content_free, symbol_free): New

Adjust.

Due to the new warning, many tests had to be updated.

Add the associativity warning in the expected results.
* tests/java.at: Fix the java calculator's grammar to remove a useless
associativity.
* doc/bison.texi (mfcalc example): Fix associativity to remove
warning.
Symbols with precedence but no associativity, and whose precedence is
never used, can be declared with %token instead. The used precedence
relationships are recorded and a warning about useless ones is issued.
* src/conflicts.c (resolve_sr_conflict): Record precedence relation.
* src/symtab.c, src/symtab.h (prec_nodes, init_prec_nodes)
(symgraphlink_new, register_precedence_second_symbol)

Record relationships in a graph and warn about useless ones.
* src/main.c (main): Print precedence warnings.
* tests/conflicts.at: New.
The current routines used to display s/r and r/r conflicts are both
inconvenient from the programmer point of view (they do not use the
warning infrastructure) and for the user (the messages are rather
terse, not necessarily pleasant to read, and because they don't use
the same routines, they look different).
It was due to the belief (dating back to the initial checked-in
version of Bison) that, at some point, POSIX Yacc mandated the format
for these messages. Today, the Open Group's manual page for Yacc,
<http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/yacc.html>,
explicitly states that the format of these messages is unspecified.
See commit be7280480c and
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2002-12/msg00027.html>.
For a discussion on the chosen warning format, see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2012-09/msg00039.html
In an effort to factor the handling of errors and warnings, use the
Bison warning routines to report these messages.
* src/conflicts.c (conflicts_print): Rewrite with clearer sections
about S/R and then R/R conflicts.
(conflict_report): Remove, inlined in its sole
caller...
(conflicts_output): here.

* tests/reduce.at, tests/regression.at: Adjust the expected results.
* NEWS: Update.

bootstrap.conf

This is not just nicer, it is also much safer, since we were
using sprintf...
* bootstrap.conf: Require it.
* src/system.h (obstack_fgrow1, obstack_fgrow2, obstack_fgrow3)
(obstack_fgrow4): Remove.
Adjust dependencies.
Forthcoming changes will use the warning categories much more often,
so shortening them will improve readability.
* src/complain.c, src/complain.h, src/conflicts.c,
* src/getargs.c, src/getargs.h, src/gram.c (enum warnings):
s/warnings_/W/g.
This change was made by applying emacs' untabify function to
nearly all files in Bison's repository. Required tabs in make
files, ChangeLog, regexps, and test code were manually skipped.
Other notable exceptions and changes are listed below.
* bootstrap: Skip because we sync this with gnulib.
* data/m4sugar/foreach.m4
* data/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Skip because we sync these with
Autoconf.
* djgpp: Skip because I don't know how to test djgpp properly, and
this code appears to be unmaintained anyway.
* README-hacking (Hacking): Specify that tabs should be avoided
where not required.

(unless %expect or %expect-rr is specified). Reported by George

Unfortunately it is not possible to reuse the %prec directive. This
is because to please POSIX, we do not require to end the rules with a
semicolon. As a result,
foo: bar %prec baz
is ambiguous: either a rule which precedence is that of baz, or a rule,
and then a declaration of the precedence of the token baz.
