Previously, for this special case of an invalid reference, the
usual "symbol not found in production:" was printed. However,
because the symbol name was parsed as the empty string, that
message was followed immediately by a newline instead of a symbol
name. In reality, this is a syntax error, so the reference is
invalid regardless of the symbols actually appearing in the
production. Discussed at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2011-01/msg00012.html>.
* src/scan-code.l (parse_ref): Report the above case as a syntax
error. Other than that, continue to handle this case like any
other invalid reference that Bison manages to parse because
"possibly meant" messages can still be helpful to the user.
* tests/named-refs.at ($ or @ followed by . or -): New test group.
(cherry picked from commit 5c9efc755e)
* src/location.h: (location_print): Add return value.
* src/location.c: (location_print): Return number of printed
characters.
* src/complain.h: Two new functions (complain_at_indent,
warn_at_indent).
* src/complain.cpp: Implement the alignment mechanism. Add new
static variable (indent_ptr). Use and update it (error_message,
complain_at_indent, warn_at_indent).
* src/scan-code.l: Fix strings for translations. Use new *_indent
functions (parse_ref, show_sub_messages).
* tests/named-ref.at: Adjust testcases.
* NEWS (2.5): Add an announcement about named references.
Add "symbol not found in production" error message when
an "invalid reference" is detected in named references
resolution.
* src/scan-code.l: Update "invalid reference" case.
* tests/named-ref.at: Adjust test-cases.
in a symbolic reference resolution. Remove .expr and -expr from
the shown reference when the reference is unresolved.
* src/scan-code.l: Change the error message, adjust location columns,
rename variable "exact_mode" to "explicit_bracketing".
* tests/named-ref.at: Adjust existing tests and add a new one.
* src/named-ref.h: Add comments.
* src/parse-gram.y: Readability and style changes.
* src/reader.c: Factoring: assign_named_ref function.
* src/scan-code.l: Factoring and style changes. Rename
parse_named_ref to parse_ref. Use "c-ctype.h" from gnulib.
Use "unsigned" type for variant index. Improve readablity.
* src/scan-gram.l: Change error messages and add comments.
* src/symlist.h: symbol_list_null: New function decl.
* src/symlist.c: symbol_list_null: Implement here.
* tests/named-refs.at: Adjust for new error messages.
