Before we were using tables which lines were the symbols and which
columns were things like number, tag, type-name etc. It is was
difficult to extend: each time a column was added, all the numbers had
to be updated (you asked for colon $2, not for "tag"). Also, it was
hard to filter these tables when only a subset of the symbols (say the
tokens, or the nterms, or the tokens that have and external number
*and* a type-name) was of interest.
Now instead of monolithic tables, we define one macro per cell. For
instance "b4_symbol(0, tag)" is a macro name which contents is
self-decriptive. The macro "b4_symbol" provides easier access to
these cells.
* src/output.c (type_names_output): Remove.
(symbol_numbers_output, symbol_definitions_output): New.
(muscles_output): Call them.
(prepare_symbols): Define b4_symbols_number.
This improves the "list" bench by 2%.
* data/lalr1.cc (variant::build): Add an overloaded version with
an argument.
* tests/c++.at (AT_CHECK_VARIANT): Check it.
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.
* doc/bison.texinfo: Document %precedence.
(Precedence Only): New.
* src/assoc.h, src/assoc.c (precedence_assoc): New.
* src/conflicts.c (resolve_sr_conflict): Support it.
* src/scan-gram.l, src/parse-gram.y (%precedence): New token.
Parse it.
* tests/calc.at: Use %precedence for NEG.
* tests/conflicts.at (%precedence does not suffice)
(%precedence suffices): New tests.
* etc/bench.pl.in (@directive): New.
(&bench_grammar): Use it.
(&bench_list_grammar): New, to provide access to the "variant"
grammar.
Use it.
(getopts): Support -d, --directive.
* data/lalr1.cc (symbol_base_type, symbol_type): New.
(data_type): Rename as...
(stack_symbol_type): this.
Derive from symbol_base_type.
(yy_symbol_value_print_): Merge into...
(yy_symbol_print_): this.
Rename as...
(yy_print_): this.
(yydestruct_): Rename as...
(yy_destroy_): this.
(b4_symbols_actions, YY_SYMBOL_PRINT): Adjust.
(parser::parse): yyla is now of symbol_type.
Use its type member instead of yytoken.
* data/lalr1.cc (b4_symbol_actions): Bounce $$ and @$ to
yydata.value and yydata.location.
(yy_symbol_value_print_, yy_symbol_print_, yydestruct_)
(YY_SYMBOL_PRINT): Now take semantic value and location as a
single arg.
Adjust all callers.
(yydestruct_): New overload for a stack symbol.
To display rhs symbols before a reduction, we used information about the rule
reduced, which required the tables yyrhs and yyprhs. Now use rely only on the
state stack to get the same information.
* data/lalr1.cc (b4_rhs_data, b4_rhs_state): New.
Use them.
(parser::yyrhs_, parser::yyprhs_): Remove.
(parser::yy_reduce_print_): Use the state stack.
* data/lalr1.cc (b4_lhs_value, b4_lhs_location): Adjust to using
yylhs.
(parse): Replace yyval and yyloc with yylhs.value and
yylhs.location.
After a user action, compute yylhs.state earlier.
(yyerrlab1): Do not play tricks with yylhs.location, rather, use a
fresh error_token.
* src/getargs.c (skeleton_prio): Use default_prio rather than 2, and
remove static qualifier because others will soon need to see it.
(language_prio): Likewise.
(getargs): Use command_line_prio rather than 0.
* src/getargs.h (command_line_prio, grammar_prio, default_prio): New
enum fields.
(skeleton_prio): Extern it.
(language_prio): Extern it.
* src/parse-gram.y: Use grammar_prio rather than 1.
* src/getargs.h, src/getargs.c (skeleton_arg, language_argmatch):
The location argument is now mandatory.
Adjust all dependencies.
(getargs): Use command_line_location.
* src/getargs.c (quotearg.h, muscle_tab.h): Include.
(getargs): Define file_name.
* src/main.c (main): Initialize muscle_tab before calling
getargs.
* src/muscle_tab.c (muscle_init): No longer define file_name, as
its value is not available yet.
* build-aux/cross-options.pl: The argument ends at the first
space, not the first non-symbol character.
Use @var for each word appearing the argument description.
* data/lalr1-fusion.cc (yydestruct_): Invoke the variant's
destructor.
Display the value only if yymsg is nonnull.
(yyreduce): Invoke yydestruct_ when popping lhs symbols.
This is used to help the user catch cases where some value gets
ovewritten by a new one. This should not happen, as this will
probably leak.
Unfortunately this uncovered a bug in the C++ parser itself: the
lookahead value was not destroyed between two calls to yylex. For
instance if the previous lookahead was a std::string, and then an int,
then the value of the std::string was correctly taken (i.e., the
lookahead was now an empty string), but std::string structure itself
was not reclaimed.
This is now done in variant::build(other&) (which is used to take the
value of the lookahead): other is not only stolen from its value, it
is also destroyed. This incurs a new performance penalty of a few
percent, and union becomes faster again.
* data/lalr1-fusion.cc (variant::build(other&)): Destroy other.
(b4_variant_if): New.
(variant::built): New.
Use it whereever the status of the variant changes.
* etc/bench.pl.in: Check the penalty of %define assert.

* THANKS (Sergei Steshenko): Add.
* src/scan-code.l (SC_RULE_ACTION): Fix it.
* tests/regression.at (Fix user actions without a trailing semicolon):
New test case.
* etc/bench.pl.in (&run, &generate_grammar): New.
Rename the grammar generating functions for consistency.
Change the interface so that the list of benches to run is passed
as (optionless) arguments.
(&compile): Use &run.
