Since Bison 2.7, output was indented four spaces for explanatory
statements. For example:
input.y:2.7-13: error: %type redeclaration for exp
input.y:1.7-11: previous declaration
Since the introduction of caret-diagnostics, it became less clear.
Remove the indentation and display submessages as in GCC:
input.y:2.7-13: error: %type redeclaration for exp
2 | %type <float> exp
| ^~~~~~~
input.y:1.7-11: note: previous declaration
1 | %type <int> exp
| ^~~~~

Use _loc consistently, not _location.
symbol_list features a 'location' and a 'sym_loc' member. The former
is expected to be set only for symbol_lists that denote a symbol (not
a type name), and the latter should only denote the location of the
symbol/type name. Yet both are set, and the name "location" is too
unprecise.
* src/symlist.h, src/symlist.c (symbol_list::location): Rename as
rhs_loc for clarity. Move it to the "section" of data valid only
for rules.
* src/reader.c, src/scan-code.l: Adjust.
* cfg.mk: Disable checks where needed (e.g., we do want to check the
behavior with tabs).
(sc_at_parser_check): Remove. Unfortunately since
a11c144609 we no longer use the './'
prefix to run programs in the current directory. That was so that we
could run Java programs like the other, although they are no run with
the `./` prefix (see 967a59d2c0).
As a consequence this sc check no longer makes sense.
However, since now AT_PARSER_CHECK passes the `./` prefix itself, this
sc-check was superfluous.
* examples/c/reccalc/scan.l: Use memcpy, not strncpy.
* src/ielr.c, src/reader.c: Obfuscate "lr(0)" so that the sc-check for
"space before paren" does not fire.
* tests/diagnostics.at: Avoid space-tab, use tab-tab.
* src/reader.c (grammar_rule_check_and_complete): When 'p' and 'lhs'
are aliases, prefer the latter, for clarity and consistency.
(grammar_current_rule_begin): Avoid 'p', current_rule suffices.
* src/gram.h, src/gram.c: Comment changes.

This should not be used to generate parsers. My point is actually to
facilitate debugging (when tweaking the generation of the LR(0)
automaton for instance, not carying -yet- about lookaheads).
* src/reader.c (prepare_percent_define_front_end_variables): Add lr(0).
* src/conflicts.c (set_conflicts): Be robust to reds not having
lookaheads at all.
* src/ielr.c (LrType, lr_type_get): Adjust.
(ielr): Implement support for LR(0).
* src/lalr.c (lalr_free): Don't free LA when it's not computed.
This change allows one to document (and check) which rules participate
in shift/reduce and reduce/reduce conflicts. This is particularly
important GLR parsers, where conflicts are a normal occurrence. For
example,
%glr-parser
%expect 1
%%
...
argument_list:
arguments %expect 1
| arguments ','
| %empty
;
arguments:
expression
| argument_list ',' expression
;
...
Looking at the output from -v, one can see that the shift-reduce
conflict here is due to the fact that the parser does not know whether
to reduce arguments to argument_list until it sees the token AFTER the
following ','. By marking the rule with %expect 1 (because there is a
conflict in one state), we document the source of the 1 overall shift-
reduce conflict.
In GLR parsers, we can use %expect-rr in a rule for reduce/reduce
conflicts. In this case, we mark each of the conflicting rules. For
example,
%glr-parser
%expect-rr 1
%%
stmt:
target_list '=' expr ';'
| expr_list ';'
;
target_list:
target
| target ',' target_list
;
target:
ID %expect-rr 1
;
expr_list:
expr
| expr ',' expr_list
;
expr:
ID %expect-rr 1
| ...
;
In a statement such as
x, y = 3, 4;
the parser must reduce x to a target or an expr, but does not know
which until it sees the '='. So we notate the two possible reductions
to indicate that each conflicts in one rule.
See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2013-02/msg00105.html.

Currently, in C, the default semantic action is implemented by being
always run before running the actual user semantic action. As a
consequence, when the user action is run, $$ is already set as $1.
In C++ with variants, we don't do that, since we cannot manipulate the
semantic value without knowing its exact type. When variants are
enabled, the only guarantee is that $$ is default contructed and ready
to the used.
Some users still would like the default action to be run with
variants. Frank Heckenbach's parser in
C++17 (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2018-04/msg00011.html)
provides this feature, but relying on std::variant's dynamic typing,
which we forbid in lalr1.cc.
The simplest seems to be actually generating the default semantic
action (in all languages/skeletons). This makes the pre-action (that
sets $$ to $1) useless. But... maybe some users depend on this, in
spite of the comments that clearly warn againt this. So let's not
turn this off just yet.
* src/reader.c (grammar_rule_check_and_complete): Rename as...
(grammar_rule_check_and_complete): this.
Install the default semantic action when applicable.
* examples/variant-11.yy, examples/variant.yy, tests/calc.at:
Exercise the default semantic action, even with variants.
The code was already using midrule only, never mid_rule. This is
simpler to remember, and matches a similar change we made from
look-ahead to lookahead.
* NEWS, doc/bison.texi, src/reader.c, src/scan-code.h, src/scan-code.l
* tests/actions.at, tests/c++.at, tests/existing.at: here.
Suggested by Paul Eggert.
* src/reader.c (find_start_symbol): Don't check 'res', we know it is
not null. That suffices to avoid the GCC warnings.
* bootstrap.conf: We don't need 'assume', which doesn't exist anyway.
Commit 3df32101e7 introduced invalid C
code. Caught by GCC 7.3.0.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): We need assume.
* src/reader.c (find_start_symbol): Fix the signature (too much C++,
sorry...).
Prefer 'assume' to 'assert', so that we don't have these warnings even
when NDEBUG is defined.
Make sure that we cannot apply a type to the (main) action of a rule.
* src/reader.c (grammar_rule_check): Issue the warning.
* tests/input.at (Cannot type action): Check the warning.
Prompted on Piotr Marcińczyk's message:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2017-06/msg00000.html.
See also http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2018-06/msg00001.html.
Because their type is unknown to Bison, the values of midrule actions are
not treated like the others: they don't have %printer and %destructor
support. In addition, in C++, (Bison) variants cannot work properly.
Typed midrule actions address these issues. Instead of:
exp: { $<ival>$ = 1; } { $<ival>$ = 2; } { $$ = $<ival>1 + $<ival>2; }
write:
exp: <ival>{ $$ = 1; } <ival>{ $$ = 2; } { $$ = $1 + $2; }
* src/scan-code.h, src/scan-code.l (code_props): Add a `type` field to
record the declared type of an action.
(code_props_rule_action_init): Add a type argument.
* src/parse-gram.y: Accept an optional type tag for actions.
* src/reader.h, src/reader.c (grammar_current_rule_action_append): Add
a type argument.
(grammar_midrule_action): When a mid-rule is typed, pass its type to
the defined dummy non terminal symbol.
grammar_current_rule_action_append was used in two different places:
for actual action (`{...}`), and for predicates (`%?{...}`). Let's
split this in two different functions.
* src/reader.h, src/reader.c (grammar_current_rule_predicate_append): New.
Extracted from...
(grammar_current_rule_action_append): here.
Remove arguments that don't apply.
Adjust dependencies.
* origin/maint:
build: don't try to generate docs when cross-compiling
package: fix a reporter's name
%union: fix the support for named %union
package: bump to 2015
flex: don't trust YY_USER_INIT
yacc.c: fix broken union when api.value.type=union and %defines are used
doc: fix missing xref
gnulib: update
location: remove some ugly debugging code traces
build: use abort to pacify compiler errors
package: bump to 2014
doc: specify documentation encoding
Rather than having duplicate info in the symbol and the alias that has
to be resolved later on, both the symbol and the alias have a common
pointer to a separate structure containing this info.

* src/state.h, src/symlist.c, src/symtab.c, src/symtab.h, src/tables.c:
Adjust.
* tests/input.at: Fix expectations (order changes).
When reporting a duplicate directive on a rule, point to its first
occurrence:
one.y:11.10-15: error: only one %empty allowed per rule
%empty {} %empty
^^^^^^
one.y:11.3-8: previous declaration
%empty {} %empty
^^^^^^
And consistently discard the second one.
* src/complain.h, src/complain.c (duplicate_directive): New.
* src/reader.c: Use it where appropriate.
* src/symlist.h, src/symlist.c (symbol_list): Add a dprec_location member.
* tests/actions.at: Adjust expected output.
* src/complain.h, src/complain.c (warning_is_unset): New.
* src/reader.c (grammar_current_rule_empty_set): If enabled -Wempty-rule,
if not disabled.
* tests/actions.at (Implicitly empty rule): Check this feature.
Also check that -Wno-empty-rule does disable this warning.
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.
