Maybe some people are currently using #define YYSTYPE. Instead of
dropping support right now, first issue a warning. Bison can "see" if
YYDEBUG is defined (it could even be on the command line), only the
compiler knows. Unfortunately `#warning` is non-portable, and
actually GCC even dies on it when `-pedantic` is enabled. So we need
to use `#pragma message`. We must make it conditional as some
compilers might not support it, but it doesn't matter if only _some_
compilers emit the warning: it should be enough to catch the attention
of the developers.

YYSTYPE.

Currently glr2.cc does not use 'symbol's everywhere, in various places
it also uses yykind, yyval and yyloc "by hand". So we need two

another for yy_destroy_. Both need to call the user destructors with
different calling conventions.

tables: fix handling for useless tokens

are useless tokens.

tables: use bitsets for a performance boost
Suggested by Yuri at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2012-01/msg00000.html>.
The improvement is marginal for most grammars, but notable for large
grammars (e.g., PosgreSQL's postgre.y), and very large for the
sample.y grammar submitted by Yuri in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2012-01/msg00012.html.
Measured with --trace=time -fsyntax-only.

* src/tables.c (pos): Replace this set of integer coded as an unsorted
array of integers with...
(pos_set): this bitset.
which was implemented long ago, but that I installed only recently
(March 2019), first published in v3.3.90.
That patch introduces a bitset to represent a set of integers. It
managed negative integers by using a (fixed) base (the smallest
integer to represent). It avoided negative accesses into the bitset
by ignoring integers smaller than the base, under the asumption that
these cases correspond to useless tokens that are ignored anyway.
While it turns out to be true for all the test cases in the test suite
(!), Balázs' use case demonstrates that it is not always the case.
So we need to be able to accept negative integers that are smaller
than the current base.
"Amusingly" enough, the aforementioned patch was visibly unsure about
itself:
/* Store PLACE into POS_SET. PLACE might not belong to the set
of possible values for instance with useless tokens. It
would be more satisfying to eliminate the need for this
'if'. */
This commit needs several improvements in the future:
- support from bitset for bit assignment and shifts
- amortized resizing of pos_set
- test cases
* src/tables.c (pos_set_base, pos_set_dump, pos_set_set, pos_set_test):
New.
Use them instead of using bitset_set and bitset_test directly.
Currently each time we meet %merge we record this location as the
defining location (and symbol). Instead, record the first definition.
In the generated code we go from
yy0->A = merge (*yy0, *yy1);
to
yy0->S = merge (*yy0, *yy1);

The yydefgoto table uses -1 as an invalid for an impossible case (we
never use yydefgoto[0], since it corresponds to the reduction to
$accept, which never happens). Since yydefgoto is a table of state
numbers, this -1 forces a signed type uselessly, which (1) might
trigger compiler warnings when storing a value from yydefgoto into a
state number (nonnegative), and (2) wastes bits which might result in
using a int16 where a uint8 suffices.
