* doc/bison.texinfo (Introduction): Don't imply that only Robert
Corbett, Richard Stallman, and Wilfred Hansen have contributed to
Bison. However, I don't have time to write a full history, so
just point readers to THANKS and ChangeLog.
(cherry picked from commit 840341d67d)
* doc/bison.texinfo (Introduction): Say that IELR(1) and canonical
LR(1) are experimental. Mention Java. Normally experimental
features probably shouldn't be mentioned in the introduction.
However, if Bison's limitations to LALR(1), C, and C++ are so
important that they should be mentioned here, then it's important
to point out that Bison is beginning to escape those limitations.
Moreover, these particular experimental features have very little
chance of being removed.
* src/getargs.c (usage): Say that IELR(1) and canonical LR(1) are
experimental.
(cherry picked from commit d89e48b3c9)
This cleans up our previous fixes for a bug whereby Bison
discarded `.field' in `$-1.field'. The previous fixes were less
restrictive about where a dash could appear in an identifier, but
the restrictions were hard to explain. That bug was reported and
this final fix was originally suggested by Paul Hilfinger. This
also fixes a remaining bug reported by Paul Eggert whereby Bison
parses `%token ID -123' as `%token ID - 123' and handles `-' as an
identifier. Now, `-' cannot be an identifier. Discussed in
threads beginning at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2011-01/msg00000.html>,
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2011-01/msg00004.html>.
* NEWS (2.5): Update entry describing the dash extension to
grammar symbol names. Also, move that entry before the named
references entry because the latter mentions the former.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Symbol): Update documentation for symbol
names. As suggested by Paul Eggert, mention the effect of periods
and dashes on named references.
(Decl Summary): Update documentation for unquoted %define values,
which, as a side effect, can no longer start with dashes either.
* src/scan-code.l (id): Implement.
* src/scan-gram.l (id): Implement.
* tests/actions.at (Exotic Dollars): Extend test group to exercise
bug reported by Paul Hilfinger.
* tests/input.at (Symbols): Update test group, and extend to
exercise bug reported by Paul Eggert.
* tests/named-refs.at (Stray symbols in brackets): Update test
group.
($ or @ followed by . or -): Likewise.
* tests/regression.at (Invalid inputs): Likewise.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Mid-Rule Actions): Mention that periods and
dashes make symbol names less convenient for named references.
* src/scan-code.l:
(handle_action_dollar): New arg textlen. All callers changed.
(handle_action_at): Likewise. Also, args are pointers to const.
(ref_tail_fields): Remove; no longer used.
(letter): Now includes '-' and '.', since this is for Bison
identifiers.
(id): Now the simpler traditional defn, since letters now include
'-' and '.'.
(c_letter, c_id): New defns.
(ref): Use c_id for unbracketed IDs.
(<SC_RULE_ACTION>): Simplify, now that the distinction between
Bison and unbracketed IDs are now in the regular expressions.
(VARIANT_BAD_BRACKETING): Remove.
(VARIANT_NOT_VISIBLE_FROM_MIDRULE): Renumber.
(find_prefix_end): Remove, replacing with ....
(identifier_matches): New function.
(variant_add): Use it. Omit EXPLICIT_BRACKETING arg; no longer
needed. CP arg is pointer to constant. All callers changed.
(show_sub_messages): Remove args CP, EXPLICIT_BRACKETING, DOLLAR_OR_AT.
New arg TEXT. All callers changed. Do not worry about showing
trailing context.
(parse_ref): Args CP, RULE, TEXT are now pointers to const. New
arg TEXTLEN. Remove arg DOLLAR_OR_AT. All callers changed.
Simplify code now that the regular expressions capture the
restrictions.
* src/scan-gram.l (letter, id): Adjust to match scan-code.l.
* src/symlist.c (symbol_list_null): Arg is now pointer to const.
* src/symlist.h: Likewise.
* tests/named-refs.at (Misleading references): These are now caught
by the C compiler, not by Bison; that's good enough. Adjust test
to reflect this.
(Many kinds of errors, Unresolved references): Adjust expected
diagnostics to match new behavior. The same errors are caught,
though the diagnostics are not quite as fancy.
($ or @ followed by . or -): Likewise. Also, Make the grammar
unambiguous, so that diagnostics are not complicated by ambiguity
warnings.
* data/glr.c, data/yacc.c: Do not use apostrophes in '#' comments,
as they confuse xgettext, which tries to parse them as C character
constants in a preprocessor directive.
* data/yacc.c (yy_lac): Don't use printf %d format on *yyesp, as
that expression might not promote to int on some platforms.
* src/parse-gram.c, src/parse-gram.h: Regenerate.
Previously, for this special case of an invalid reference, the
usual "symbol not found in production:" was printed. However,
because the symbol name was parsed as the empty string, that
message was followed immediately by a newline instead of a symbol
name. In reality, this is a syntax error, so the reference is
invalid regardless of the symbols actually appearing in the
production. Discussed at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2011-01/msg00012.html>.
* src/scan-code.l (parse_ref): Report the above case as a syntax
error. Other than that, continue to handle this case like any
other invalid reference that Bison manages to parse because
"possibly meant" messages can still be helpful to the user.
* tests/named-refs.at ($ or @ followed by . or -): New test group.
Reported by Paul Hilfinger as a side effect of named references
support at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2011-01/msg00000.html>.
Suggested by Paul Eggert.
* src/scan-code.l ({letter}, {id}): Adjust lexical definitions.
* src/scan-gram.l ({letter}, {id}): Likewise.
* .x-update-copyright: Add entry for bootstrap.
* bootstrap: Remove 2011 from copyright years. The bootstrap
version we're currently using comes from an older version of
gnulib.
* bootstrap.conf (bootstrap_sync): Add comments explaining this
issue.
* README (Copyright statements): New section explaining the range
notation. The GNU coding standards require this explanation. I
copied ours from coreutils.
* build-aux/update-b4-copyright: Revert 2010-06-17 changes that
disabled Bison's automated use of ranges.
* cfg.mk (update-copyright-env): Likewise.
* NEWS (2.5): Make some minor improvements to wording, and format
entries more consistently.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Language and Grammar): Point out that IELR
and canonical LR are experimental features.
(Decl Summary): In list of %define variables, make wording more
consistent. Improve discussion of using LALR for GLR.
* NEWS (2.5): Add entry for LAC, and mention LAC in entry for
other corrections to verbose syntax error messages.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Decl Summary): Rewrite entries for
lr.default-reductions and lr.type to be clearer, to mention
%nonassoc's effect on canonical LR, and to mention LAC. Add entry
for parse.lac.
(Glossary): Add entry for LAC.
* data/yacc.c: Rename %define variable parse.lac.es-capacity to
parse.lac.es-capacity-initial. Accept parse.lac.memory-trace
with values of "failures" (default) or "full".
(b4_declare_parser_state_variables): Add yyesa, yyes, and
yyes_capacity variables.
(YYSTACK_USE_ALLOCA): Ignore it if LAC requested.
(YYSTACK_ALLOC, YYSTACK_FREE, YYSTACK_ALLOC_MAXIMUM): Define if
LAC requested.
(YYCOPY_NEEDED): New cpp macro.
(YYCOPY): Define if LAC requested.
(yy_lac_stack_realloc): New function implementing stack
reallocations. Use YYMAXDEPTH for maximum stack size given that
the stack should never need to grow larger than the main state
stack needs to grow without LAC.
(YY_LAC_ESTABLISH): Update yy_lac invocation.
(yy_lac): Add arguments for exploratory stack memory data
recorded in the main parser. Invoke yy_lac_stack_realloc when
reallocation is necessary.
(yysyntax_error): Add the same new arguments and pass them to
yy_lac.
(yypstate_delete): Free yyes if necessary.
(yyesa, yyes, yyes_capacity): #define these to yypstate members
in the case of push parsing.
(yyparse, yypush_parse): Initialize yyes and yyes_capacity.
Update yysyntax_error invocations. At yyreturn, free yyes if
necessary.
* src/parse-gram.y: %define parse.lac full.
* tests/input.at (LAC: errors for %define): Extend for
parse.lac-memory-trace.
* tests/regression.at (LAC: Exploratory stack): Extend to check
that stack reallocs happen when expected.
(LAC: Memory exhaustion): Update to use YYMAXDEPTH and
parse.lac.es-capacity-initial.
LAC = lookahead correction. See discussion at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2009-09/msg00034.html>.
However, one point there must be corrected: because of %nonassoc,
LAC is *not* always redundant for lr.type=canonical-lr.
* data/yacc.c: Accept values of "none" (default) or "full" for
parse.lac. Accept %define parse.lac.es-capacity to specify
capacity of LAC's temporary exploratory stack. It defaults to 20
and, for now, will not grow dynamically.
(b4_lac_flag, b4_lac_if): New m4 macros. Evaluate as true for
parse.lac!=none.
(YYBACKUP): Invoke YY_LAC_DISCARD.
(YY_LAC_ESTABLISH, YY_LAC_DISCARD): New cpp macros that invoke
yy_lac and track when it needs to be invoked
(yy_lac): New function that, given the current stack, determines
whether a token can eventually be shifted. Return status mimics
yyparse return status.
(yysyntax_error): Change yystate argument to yyssp so stack top
can be passed to yy_lac. If LAC is requested, build expected
token list by invoking yy_lac for every token instead of just
checking the current state for lookaheads. Return 2 if yy_lac
exhausts memory.
(yyparse, yypush_parse): Use local variable yy_lac_established and
cpp macros YY_LAC_ESTABLISH and YY_LAC_DISCARD to implement LAC.
Update yysyntax_error invocation. Add yyexhaustedlab code if LAC
is requested.
* tests/conflicts.at (%nonassoc and eof): Extend to check the
effect of each of -Dlr.type=canonical-lr and -Dparse.lac=full.
(parse.error=verbose and consistent errors): Likewise.
(LAC: %nonassoc requires splitting canonical LR states): New test
group demonstrating how LAC can fix canonical LR.
* tests/input.at (LAC: Errors for %define): New test group.
* tests/regression.at (LAC: Exploratory stack): New test group.
(LAC: Memory exhaustion): New test group.
Now, whenever we update bison's copy of gnulib, bootstrap will
update itself the next time it's run.
* bootstrap: Copy from latest gnulib for bootstrap_sync support.
* bootstrap.conf (bootstrap_sync): Set to true.
* gnulib: Update to latest so bootstrap is in sync now.
* NEWS (2.5): Document.
* data/yacc.c (yysyntax_error): In a verbose syntax error
message while in a consistent state with a default action (which
must be an error action given that yysyntax_error is being
invoked), continue to drop the expected token list, but don't
drop the unexpected token unless there actually is no lookahead.
Moreover, handle that internally instead of returning 1 to tell
the caller to do it. With that meaning of 1 gone, renumber
return codes more usefully.
(yyparse, yypush_parse): Update yysyntax_error usage. Most
importantly, set yytoken to YYEMPTY when there's no lookahead.
* data/glr.c (yyreportSyntaxError): As in yacc.c, don't drop the
unexpected token unless there actually is no lookahead.
* data/lalr1.cc (yy::parser::parse): If there's no lookahead,
pass yyempty_ not yyla.type to yysyntax_error_.
(yy::parser::yysyntax_error_): Again, don't drop the unexpected
token unless there actually is no lookahead.
* data/lalr1.java (YYParser::parse): If there's no lookahead,
set yytoken to yyempty_ before invoking yysyntax_error.
(YYParser::yysyntax_error): Again, don't drop the unexpected
token unless there actually is no lookahead.
* tests/conflicts.at (parse.error=verbose and consistent
errors): Extend test group to further reveal how the previous
use of the simple "syntax error" message was too general. Test
yacc.c, glr.c, lalr1.cc, and lalr1.java. No longer an expected
failure.
* tests/java.at (AT_JAVA_COMPILE, AT_JAVA_PARSER_CHECK): Move
to...
* tests/local.at: ... here.
(_AT_BISON_OPTION_PUSHDEFS): Push AT_SKEL_JAVA_IF definition.
(AT_BISON_OPTION_POPDEFS): Pop it.
(AT_FULL_COMPILE): Extend to handle Java.
These are purely whitespace changes that result in ugly code
but that make the next couple of patches much easier to read.
* data/glr.c (yyreportSyntaxError): Reindent.
* data/lalr1.cc (yy::parser::yysyntax_error_): Reindent.
* data/lalr1.java (YYParser::yysyntax_error): Reindent.
* data/yacc.c (yysyntax_error): Reindent.
* data/yacc.c (yyparse, yypush_parse): For yysyntax_error
invocation, get rid of the while loop, which is misleading
because there are really at most two iterations.
* bootstrap: Copy from gnulib's latest for the fix to
automatically anchor entries it constructs.
* gnulib: Update to latest just so it has the same bootstrap.
* .gitignore, build-aux/.gitignore, doc/.gitignore:
* lib/.gitignore, m4/.gitignore, po/.gitignore:
* runtime-po/.gitignore: Re-anchor all entries.
Jim Meyering reported this in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2010-10/msg00007.html>.
* data/yacc.c: Use EXIT_SUCCESS as a witness for stdlib.h,
not _STDLIB_H. EXIT_SUCCESS has been defined by the standard
for quite some time.
* src/parse-gram.c, src/parse-gram.h: Regenerate.
* tests/regression.at: Tamper with the renamed witness.
* .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.
(gnulib_mk_hook): New function.
* README-hacking: Renamed from HACKING, since gnulib bootstrap now
uses that convention.
* data/glr.c (yy_reduce_print): Change yyrhsVals to yyvsp to remove
compiler errors when using %debug.
Add declaration of yylow when locations in use to avoid compilation
error.
(yyglrReduce): Conditionalize message "Parse ... rejected by rule..."
on whether we are in split mode, for consistency with behavior of
non-GLR parsing.
* NEWS (2.4.3): Mention that there are documentation fixes.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Expect Decl): Make it clear that %expect
turns conflicts into errors not warnings.
(Shift/Reduce): Likewise.
(Bison Options): Don't mention -Wsyntax. It doesn't exist.
(cherry picked from commit 3ffdd5f125)
* NEWS (2.4.3): Document fix.
* src/complain.c (error_message): Extend to handle incomplete
error messages so warn and warn_at can be used in more cases.
* src/gram.c (grammar_rules_useless_report): Use warn_at so that
-Werror is always obeyed.
* src/reduce.c (reduce_print): Use warn so that the "warnings
being treated as errors" message is printed consistently before
the first warning message. This makes testing easier.
* tests/local.at (AT_BISON_WERROR_MSG): New macro.
(AT_BISON_CHECK_NO_XML): Extend to check -Werror and
--warnings=error when warnings appear in bison's stderr.
(cherry picked from commit 954474bfa1)
* configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Underscore or dash in a
version string should disable gnits. Explain in comments.
(cherry picked from commit 122ff44429)
Conflicts:
configure.ac
* configure.ac: For prepending lib/ to the values of config
variables, fix detection of empty values. Also, due to recent
gnulib changes, add LIBUNISTRING_UNITYPES_H and
LIBUNISTRING_UNIWIDTH_H to the list of those variables.
* tests/output.at (AT_CHECK_OUTPUT): Extend to accept pre-tests.
(Output files: -dv >&-): Skip test group if running
maintainer-check-valgrind.
(cherry picked from commit c027cccb35)
Conflicts:
tests/output.at
These changes allow users to prefix an action with %? to indicate that it
is a semantic predicate---an expression that is evaluated immediately (not
deferred, even in GLR nondeterministic mode) and causes a syntax error if
false. In GLR parsers, this has the effect of killing one of a set of
split-off parses, just as would an ordinary syntax error.
Changelog:
* NEWS: Describe new semantic-predicate feature.
* data/c.m4 (b4_predicate_case): New definition.
* data/java.m4 (b4_predicate_case): New definition.
* data/glr.c (yyimmediate): Add definition.
(yydoAction): Remove comment, now obsolete.
Do YY_REDUCE_PRINT here.
(yyglrReduce): Alter comment to indicate that semantic values
need not be deferred.
Remove YY_REDUCE_PRINT from here; done in yydoAction.
(yyprocessOneStack): Pass immediate flag.
Delete stacks rejected by predicates in newly split-off parsers.
Change handling of yyerr so that only current stack gets deleted
when semantic predicate fails.
(yyfillin): Don't crash if a semantic value is unresolved (as may
happen in predicate rules).
Copy lr state as well in debugging mode.
Update comment on setting of yysval to include yyloc as well.
(yy_reduce_print): Add yynormal argument. Perform fillin properly.
Report unresolved RHS values.
(yyimmediate): New table.
* src/gram.h (struct rule): Add is_predicate field.

(yyresolveLocations,yyresolveValue,yyreducePrint): Update parameter
names in comments and mention all parameters.
(struct yyGLRState): Fix description of yyposn field.
(yyresolveLocations): Correct comment so as not to imply action when
yyn1==0.
* data/lalr1.cc (YYLLOC_DEFAULT): Move its definition from the
header file to the implementation file, after the user %code
sections.
* NEWS: Document it.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Local Variables): Move this after the
LocalWords, since the latter are looked for in the whole document,
while the former are looked for only at its end.
Require american spell checking.
* data/lalr1.cc (YYRHSLOC): New.

Check that glr.cc supports user defined location_type.
* NEWS: Document this.
