We should use -ffixit and --update to clean files with duplicate
directives. And we should complain only once about duplicate obsolete
directives: keep only the "duplicate" warning. Let's start with %yacc.
For instance on:
%fixed-output_files
%fixed-output-files
%yacc
%%
exp:
This run of bison:
$ bison /tmp/foo.y -u
foo.y:1.1-19: warning: deprecated directive, use '%fixed-output-files' [-Wdeprecated]
%fixed-output_files
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
foo.y:2.1-19: warning: duplicate directive [-Wother]
%fixed-output-files
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
foo.y:1.1-19: previous declaration
%fixed-output_files
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
foo.y:3.1-5: warning: duplicate directive [-Wother]
%yacc
^~~~~
foo.y:1.1-19: previous declaration
%fixed-output_files
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
bison: file 'foo.y' was updated (backup: 'foo.y~')
gives:
%fixed-output-files
%%
exp:
* src/location.h, src/location.c (location_empty): New.
* src/complain.h, src/complain.c (duplicate_directive): New.
* src/getargs.h, src/getargs.c (yacc_flag): Instead of a Boolean, be
the location of the definition.
Update dependencies.
* src/scan-gram.l (%yacc, %fixed-output-files): Move the handling of
its warnings to...
* src/parse-gram.y (do_yacc): This new function.
* tests/input.at (Deprecated Directives): Adjust expectations.
Avoid duplicate warnings about %error-verbose, once for deprecation,
another for duplicate. Keep only the duplicate warning for the second
occurrence of %error-verbose.
This will help removal fixits.
* src/scan-gram.l (%error-verbose): Return as a PERCENT_ERROR_VERBOSE
token.
* src/parse-gram.y (do_error_verbose): New.
Use it.
* src/muscle-tab.c (muscle_percent_variable_update): Handle pseudo
variables such as %error-verbose.
Currently the diagnostics for %name-prefix are not precise enough. In
particular, they does not show that braces must be used instead of
quotes.
Before:
foo.y:3.1-14: warning: deprecated directive, use '%define api.prefix' [-Wdeprecated]
%name-prefix = "foo"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After:
foo.y:3.1-20: warning: deprecated directive, use '%define api.prefix {foo}' [-Wdeprecated]
%name-prefix = "foo"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To do this we need the value passed to %name-prefix, so move the
warning from the scanner to the parser.
Accuracy will be very important for the forthcoming changes.
* src/parse-gram.y (do_name_prefix): New.
(PERCENT_NAME_PREFIX): Have a semantic value: the raw source, with
possibly underscores, equal sign, and spaces. This is used to provide
a more accurate message. It does not take comments into account,
but...
* src/scan-gram.l (%name-prefix): Delegate the warnings to the parser.
* tests/headers.at, tests/input.at: Adjust expectations.
After having spent quite some time on cleaning the handling of symbol
declarations in the grammar files, I believe we should keep it.
It looks like it's a duplicate of %type, but it is not. While POSIX
Yacc requires %type to apply only to nonterminal symbols, it appears
that both byacc and bison accept it for tokens too. And some
experienced users do actually expect this feature to group
symbols (terminal or not) by type ("On the other hand, it is generally
more useful IMHO to group terminals and non-terminals with the same
type tag together",
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2018-10/msg00000.html).
Even Bison's own parser does this today (see CHAR).
Basically reverts 7928c3e6fb.
* src/scan-gram.l (%nterm): Dedeprecate, but issue a Wyacc warning.
* tests/input.at: Adjust expectations.
(Yacc warnings on symbols): New.
* src/symtab.c (symbol_class_set): Fix error introduced in
20b0746793.
It is unfortunate that %error_verbose was properly diagnosed as
obsoleted by "%define parse.error verbose", but %error-verbose was
not.
* src/parse-gram.y (%error-verbose): Remove support.
* src/scan-gram.l: Do it here instead, with a warning.
* tests/input.at (Deprecated directives): Check it.
* src/parse-gram.y (api.value.type): Set to union.
Replace occurrences of %union with explicit %types.
* src/scan-gram.l: Adjust yylval's field names.
(RETURN_VALUE): No longer needs the Field argument.
Use it more.
The purpose of this symbol was only to factor function calls. As a
result the actions were indeed simpler, but the grammar was somewhat
uselessly obfuscated. Get rid of this symbol, but introduce functions
to simplify dependencies.
There is no (intended) changes of behavior here.
* src/parse-gram.y (strip_braces, translate_code(
(translate_code_braceless): New.
(braceless): Remove, use "{...}" instead, and one of the previous
functions depending on the context.
(STRING, "%{...%}", EPILOGUE): Declare as <code>, instead of <chars>,
the difference between both is useless (well, I couldn't make sense of
it, even after having read the initial commit that introduced them).
(%union): Remove the now useless "chars" type.
Adjust the printers.
* src/scan-gram.l: Adjust.
Provide a means to dereference pointers when defining tags. One
example could be:
%code requires
{
typedef struct ListElementType
{
union value
{
int intVal;
float floatVal;
char* charptrVal;
} value;
struct ListElementType* next;
} ListElementType;
}
%union
{
ListElementType* list;
}
%token <list->value.charptrVal> STRING
%token <list->value.intVal> INTEGER
%token <list->value.floatVal> REAL
%type <list> ElementList LiteralType
* src/scan-code.l, src/scan-gram.l: Accept "->" in tags.
* tests/types.at: Add more test cases to cover this case.
* src/scan-gram.l: Remove the rule for simple tags: the "complex" case
subsumes it. It was more efficient, but duplicated the code for a
negligible benefit.
Provide a means to explicitly denote empty right-hand sides of rules:
instead of
exp: { ... }
allow
exp: %empty { ... }
Make sure that %empty is properly used.

* src/reader.h, src/reader.c (grammar_current_rule_empty_set): New.

Use it.

* src/reader.c (grammar_rule_check): Check that %empty is properly used.

Unput was no longer used since a POSIX-compatiblity issue with Flex 2.5.31,
which has been adressed in newer versions of Flex. See this discussion:
