When no header was to be generated, Bison would issue:
/* In a future release of Bison, this section will be replaced
by #include "". */
#ifndef YY_
# define YY_
It now properly generates nothing.
* data/c.m4 (b4_cpp_guard_open, b4_cpp_guard_close): Issue nothing when
the file name is empty.
* data/yacc.c: Do not generate the above comment when there is no header
to generate.
* NEWS: Update.
There are still spurious spaces at the end of some lines. But this is
addressed in the master branch, and I am reluctant to try to backport
this.
* data/yacc.c, data/glr.c, data/lalr1.cc, data/glr.cc: here.
* tests/calc.at (AT_CHECK_SPACES): New.
Use it.
Be sure not to introduce trailing empty lines in the *.y files.
* NEWS: Doc it.
* cfg.mk (syntax-check): Remove the exception.
* src/parse-gram.y (add_param): No only skip ' ' and '\t', skip all
leading and trailing spaces.
* tests/regression.at (Lex and parse params): Check it.
* NEWS: Document it.
scan-code.l is already passing argument to b4_dollar_dollar for the
initial acton, but its definition (of b4_dollar_dollar) does not use
this argument.
Generalize this definition, and use it for the %initial-action too.
* data/c.m4 (b4_dollar_dollar_, b4_dollar_pushdef, b4_dollar_popdef):
Instead of expecting a pointer, require a value, and use ".".
Since they are now generic enough, move to...
* data/c-like.m4: this new file.
* data/c.m4, data/java.m4: Load it.
* data/glr.c, data/lalr1.cc, data/lalr1.java, data/yacc.c: Use
b4_dollar_pushdef for the %initial-action.
* tests/actions.at: Check that.
* data/Makefile.am: Adjust.
* NEWS, doc/bison.texi: Document.
The conversion from @ to @@ and so forth is coded is too many
different places. Factor, a bit.
* src/scan-code.l: Instead of duplicating the logic of obstack_escape,
use it.
It sure is less efficient, but the cost is negligible.
This allows to factor rules that are alike.
And to factor some start-condition clauses.
* tests/input.at (Stray $ or @): New.
* NEWS: Document it.
* src/scan-code.l (SC_SYMBOL_ACTION): Accept $<tag>$, not just $$.
* data/c.m4 (b4_dollar_dollar_): New.
(b4_symbol_actions): Let b4_dollar_dollar use b4_dollar_dollar_.
* NEWS, doc/bison.texi: Document it.
* tests/actions.at: Check this for C and C++.
* src/scan-code.l: Use obstack_quote when passing type_name to m4.
* tests/input.at (Code injection): New.
* NEWS: Document it.
Thanks to Paul Eggert for the wording.
The testsuite in master has shown weird errors for the "Mulitple
Parsers" tests: the caller of p5.parse() received some apparently
random value, while tracing p5.parse() showed that the function was
consistently returning 0.
It happens when mixing several parser headers, some generated without
%debug, others with. In particular the C++ parser was generated with
%debug, i.e., with:
#ifndef YYDEBUG
# define YYDEBUG 1
#endif
and compiled separatedly. Yet, its header was included after the one
of another parser, this time without %debug, i.e., with
#ifndef YYDEBUG
# define YYDEBUG 0
#endif
in its header. As a result, the parser was compiled with YYDEBUG set,
but its header was used without. Since the layout of the objects are
then completely different, boom.
Therefore, do not change the value of YYDEBUG. Rather, use it as a
default value for <API.PREFIX>DEBUG.
* data/c.m4 (b4_YYDEBUG_define): New.
(b4_declare_yydebug): Rename as...
(b4_yydebug_declare): this, for consistency.
* data/glr.c, data/glr.cc, data/lalr1.cc, data/yacc.c: Use it.
* NEWS: Document it.
* data/yacc.c (b4_shared_declarations): Include the header guards.
Do not include the header in the *.c file, duplicate it.
* NEWS (Future Changes): Extend, and announce the forthcoming change
about the use of the parser header.
* data/c.m4 (b4_declare_yydebug): New.
* data/glr.c, data/yacc.c (b4_shared_declarations): Use it.
Remove the corresponding code from the parser body.
* NEWS: Doc this.
Some versions of Flex, possibly modified by the distribution package
maintainers, have incompatible signatures. Since newer versions of
Flex prototype their functions, avoid the conflicts in that case.
Reported by Stefano Lattarini.
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2012-05/msg00012.html>.
* src/flex-scanner.h (FLEX_VERSION_GT): New.
Use it to issue prototypes for flex-generated functions only for
versions up to 2.5.31, in accordance with the comment.
See commit dc9701e848.
Use it to define yylex_destroy when needed.
* data/location.cc (position::initialize, location::initialize):
Also accept line and column, with default values.
* doc/bison.texinfo (C++ position, C++ location): New nodes.
Describe more thoroughly these classes.
Fix several Texinfo misuses.
C++11 introduces "nullptr" which plays the role of C's NULL, in
replacement of "0". Fix the C++ skeletons to avoid warnings about
uses of "0" in place of "nullptr", and improve C skeletons to also use
this "nullptr" when compiled with a C++11 compiler.
* configure.ac: More C++ warnings.
* NEWS (2.5.1): Document this.
* data/c++.m4, data/c.m4 (b4_null_define): New.
(b4_null): Use YY_NULL instead of 0.
* data/glr.c, data/lalr1.cc, data/location.cc, data/yacc.c:
Call b4_null_define/b4_null where appropriate.
Use YY_NULL instead of NULL.
* data/location.cc (initialize): Accept a default argument,
YY_NULL.
* tests/actions.at, tests/calc.at: Adjust.
* data/glr.c, lib/libiberty.h, src/system.h (__attribute__):
Do not disable it when __STRICT_ANSI__ is defined, as, for
instance, it disables the __attribute__((unused)) which
protects us from some compiler warnings.
This was already done elsewhere in Bison, in 2001, see
4a0d893695.
* tests/regression.at: Adjust output.
