The cost of the file layer is large and makes benchmarks too coarse,
as seen for in following example, first with a file, then with a
literal string:
0. %skeleton "yacc.c" %define parse.lac full
1. %skeleton "yacc-v1.c" %define nofinal %define parse.lac full
2. %skeleton "yacc-v2.c" %define nofinal %define parse.lac full
3. %skeleton "yacc-v3.c" %define nofinal %define parse.lac full
4. %skeleton "yacc.c"
5. %skeleton "yacc-v1.c" %define nofinal
6. %skeleton "yacc-v2.c" %define nofinal
7. %skeleton "yacc-v3.c" %define nofinal

Of course, at the same time it is less realistic: most users read
files rather that strings, so it might lead to us to pay attention to
costs most people don't see.
* etc/bench.pl.in (&calc_input): Output into a file given as argument.
Output in C syntax.
(&generate_grammar_calc): Use it.
Simplify the grammar: remove operators we don't care about.
Rewrite the scanner to work on a char* instead of a FILE*.
* etc/bench.pl.in (&bench_with_timethese): Also use y$i, as in
&bench_with_gbenchmark.
(&generate_grammar_calc): Don't add a prefix, let the callers do it.
* etc/bench.pl.in (&compiler): New, extracted from...
(&compile): here.
Don't link when using gbm.
(&calc_input): Don't make massive input for micro
benchmarks.
(&generate_grammar_calc): When using gbm, use api.prefix to avoid name
collisions.
Be ready to issue BENCHMARKS instead of a main.
(&bench): Rename as...
(&bench_with_timethese): this.
(&bench_with_gbenchmark): New.
(&bench): New.
Dispatch on these two.
* etc/bench.pl.in: Adjust to the current use of %define's values.
Don't use %error-verbose.
Prefer Bison to CPP (e.g., api.value.type).
Avoid returning characters directly, so that %define api.token.raw works.
* data/lalr1.cc, doc/bison.texi, etc/bench.pl.in, examples/variant.yy,
* tests/actions.at, tests/atlocal.in, tests/c++.at, tests/headers.at,
* tests/local.at, tests/types.at:
Don't use std::endl, it flushes uselessly, and is considered bad
style.
There used to be a bug in some skeletons, which caused the expansion of
'yylval' and 'yylloc', generating these errors:
input.cc:547:16: error: expected ',' or '...' before '(' token
#define yylval (yystackp->yyval)
^
input.yy:29:39: note: in expansion of macro 'yylval'
int yylex (yy::parser::semantic_type *yylval)
^
This bug is fixed by 'skel: better aliasing of identifiers', but a workaround
is useful when benchmarking against older versions of Bison, which are still
affected by the bug.
* etc/bench.pl.in: Rename yylval to yylvalp and yylloc to yyllocp in base
grammar 'list'.
* data/bison.m4 (b4_lex_symbol_if): Rename as...
(b4_token_ctor_if): this.
Depend upon api.token.constructor.
* data/c++.m4, data/lalr1.cc: Adjust.
* doc/bison.texi: Fix all the occurrences of lex_symbol.
* etc/bench.pl.in: Adjust.
* examples/variant.yy: Likewise.
* tests/local.at (AT_BISON_OPTION_PUSHDEFS, AT_BISON_OPTION_POPDEFS):
Handle AT_TOKEN_CTOR_IF.
* tests/c++.at: Adjust to using api.token.constructor and AT_TOKEN_CTOR_IF.
Simplify the test of both build call styles.
(AT_CHECK_VARIANTS): Rename as...
(AT_TEST): this.
And undef when done.
Suggested by Jim Meyering.
* etc/prefix-gnulib-mk: Remove, as it is now provided by...
* bootstrap.conf (modules): the non-recursive-gnulib-prefix-hack module.
* build-aux/.gitignore, configure.ac, m4/.gitignore: Adjust.

This script hard-coded "libbison" and lib/gnulib.mk.
Adjust the script to require a --lib-name=$gnulib_name option
and a FILE argument like lib/$gnulib_mk.
Also add support for --help and --version.
* etc/prefix-gnulib-mk: Generalize.
* bootstrap.conf (bootstrap_post_import_hook): Update its invocation.
Updating to the latest bootstrap from gnulib involves more of a
change than usual, and updating to the latest gnulib would involve
its own set of challenges with the upcoming quoting changes, so
we update bootstrap manually and separately.
* bootstrap: Update from gnulib.
* Makefile.am: Initialize more variables to empty, so that gnulib.mk
can append to them with "+=".
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_mk_hook): Remove. No longer honored.
(bootstrap_post_import_hook): Instead, run the same command,
etc/prefix-gnulib-mk lib/$gnulib_mk, via slightly different API.
Temporarily disable "bootstrap_sync=true".
* etc/prefix-gnulib-mk: Don't prepend "lib/" to tokens like -I$(...
or "\".
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.
* .cvsignore, build-aux/.cvsignore, doc/.cvsignore, etc/.cvsignore:
* examples/calc++/.cvsignore, lib/.cvsignore, m4/.cvsignore:
* po/.cvsignore, runtime-po/.cvsignore, src/.cvsignore:
* tests/.cvsignore: Remove; I don't use CVS to maintain Bison
anymore and don't know of anybody else who does. If someone needs
these files, they can resurrect them.
* .gitignore, build-aux/.gitignore, doc/.gitignore, lib/.gitignore:
* m4/.gitignore, po/.gitignore, runtime-po/.gitignore:
Omit leading '/', since bootstrap omits it.
Adjust file names to match current contents better.
* bootstrap: Sync from gnulib: this contains the new gnulib_mk_hook
installed just for us.
* bootstrap.conf (excluded_files): Don't exclude codeset.m4,
glibc21.m4, inttypes_h.m4, size_max.m4, xsize.m4, as they are now
needed somehow. Don't have time to look into why.
(gnulib_modules): Change malloc to malloc-gnu. Do we really assume
the GNU malloc behavior, where malloc (0) != NULL unless we're
out of storage? If not, we can omit malloc-gnu; but for now I left
it in to be safe.
(vc_ignore): Remove.
* README-hacking: Renamed from HACKING, since gnulib bootstrap now
uses that convention.
