We used to treat lone CRs (\r, aka ^M) as regular NLs (\n), probably
to please Classic MacOS. As of today, it makes more sense to treat \r
like a plain white space character.

The "identifier and colon" of a rule is implemented as a single token,
but whose location is only that of the identifier (so that messages
about the lhs of a rule are accurate). When reducing empty rules, the
default location is the single point location on the end of the
previous symbol. As a consequence, when Bison parses a grammar, the
location of the right-hand side of an empty rule is based on the
lhs, *independently of the position of the colon*. And the colon can
be way farther, separated by comments, white spaces, including empty
lines.
As a result, some messages look really bad. For instance:
$ cat foo.y
%%
foo : /* empty */
bar
: /* empty */
gives
$ bison -Wall foo.y
foo.y:2.4: warning: empty rule without %empty [-Wempty-rule]
2 | foo : /* empty */
| ^
foo.y:3.4: warning: empty rule without %empty [-Wempty-rule]
3 | bar
| ^
The carets are not at the right column, not even the right line.
This commit passes the colon "again" after the "id colon" token, which
gives more accurate locations for these messages:
$ bison -Wall foo.y
foo.y:2.10: warning: empty rule without %empty [-Wempty-rule]
2 | foo : /* empty */
| ^
foo.y:4.2: warning: empty rule without %empty [-Wempty-rule]

Currently when --defines is used, we generate a header, and paste an
exact copy of it into the generated parser implementation file. Let's
provide a means to #include it instead.
We don't do it by default because of the Autotools' ylwrap. This
program wraps invocations of yacc (that uses a fixed output name:
y.tab.c, y.tab.h, y.output) to support a more modern naming
scheme (dir/foo.y -> dir/foo.tab.c, dir/foo.tab.h, etc.). It does
that by renaming the generated files, and then by running sed to
propagate these renamings inside the files themselves.
Unfortunately Automake's Makefiles uses Bison as if it were Yacc (with
--yacc or with -o y.tab.c) and invoke bison via ylwrap. As a
consequence, as far as Bison is concerned, the output files are
y.tab.c and y.tab.h, so it emits '#include "y.tab.h"'. So far, so
good. But now ylwrap processes this '#include "y.tab.h"' into
'#include "dir/foo.tab.h"', which is not guaranteed to always work.
So, let's do the Right Thing when the output file is not y.tab.c, in
which case the user should %define api.header.include. Binding this
behavior to --yacc is tempting, but we recently told people to stop
using --yacc (as it also enables the Yacc warnings), but rather to use
-o y.tab.c.
Yacc.c is the only skeleton concerned: all the others do include their
header.

version 3.3.2
style: minor fixes
NEWS: named constructors are preferable to symbol_type ctors
gram: fix handling of nterms in actions when some are unused
style: rename local variable
CI: update the ICC serial number for travis-ci.org
Since Bison 3.3, semantic values in rule actions (i.e., '$...') are
passed to the m4 backend as the symbol number. Unfortunately, when
there are unused symbols, the symbols are renumbered _after_ the
numbers were used in the rule actions. As a result, the evaluation of
the skeleton failed because it used non existing symbol numbers.
Which is the happy scenario: we could use numbers of other existing
symbols...
Reported by Balázs Scheidler.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2019-01/msg00044.html
Translating the rule actions after the symbol renumbering moves too
many parts in bison. Relying on the symbol identifiers is more
troublesome than it might first seem: some don't have an
identifier (tokens with only a literal string), some might have a
complex one (tokens with a literal string with characters special for
M4). Well, these are tokens, but nterms also have issues: "dummy"
nterms (for midrule actions) are named $@32 etc. which is risky for
M4.
Instead, let's simply give M4 the mapping between the old numbers and
the new ones. To avoid confusion between old and new numbers, always
emit pre-renumbering numbers as "orig NUM".
* data/README: Give details about "orig NUM".
* data/skeletons/bison.m4 (__b4_symbol, _b4_symbol): Resolve the
"orig NUM".
* src/output.c (prepare_symbol_definitions): Pass nterm_map to m4.
* src/reduce.h, src/reduce.c (nterm_map): Extract it from
nonterminals_reduce, to make it public.
(reduce_free): Free it.
* src/scan-code.l (handle_action_dollar): When referring to a nterm,
use "orig NUM".
* tests/reduce.at (Useless Parts): New, based Balázs Scheidler's
report.
When debugging Bison itself, this is very handy, especially when
tweaking the frontend badly enough to break the backends. It can also
be used to check a grammar.
* src/getargs.h, src/getargs.c (feature_syntax_only): New.
(feature_args, feature_types): Adjust.
* src/main.c (main): Use it.
