The user gives yyexpected_tokens a limit: the max number of tokens she
wants to hear about. That's because an error message that reports a
bazillion of possible tokens is useless.
In that case yyexpected_tokens returned 0, so the user would not know
if there are too many expected tokens or none (yes, that's possible).
There are several ways to tell the user in which situation she's in:
- return some E2MANY, a negative value. Then it makes the pattern
int argsize = yypcontext_expected_tokens (ctx, arg, ARGS_MAX);
if (argsize < 0)
return argsize;
no longer valid, as for E2MANY (i) the user must generate the error
message anyway, and (ii) she should not return E2MANY
- return ARGS_MAX + 1. Then it makes it dangerous for the user, as
she has to iterate update `min (ARGS_MAX, argsize)`.
Returning 0 is definitely simpler and safer for the user, as it tells
her "this is not an error, just generate your message without a list
of expecting tokens". So let's still return 0, but set arg[0] to the
empty token when the list is really empty.

The failing tests are using glr.cc only, which I don't understand, the
problem is rather in glr.c, so I would expect glr.c tests to also fail.

To write unit tests for their scanners, some users depended on
symbol_type::token():
Lexer lex("12345");
symbol_type t = lex.nextToken();
assert(t.token() == token::INTLIT);
assert(t.value.as<int>() == 12345);
But symbol_type::token() was removed in Bison 3.5 because it relied on
a conversion table. So users had to find other patterns, such as
assert(t.type_get() == by_type(token::INTLIT).type_get());
which relies on several private implementation details.
As part of transitioning from "token type" to "token kind", and making
this a public and documented interface, "by_type" was renamed
"by_kind" and "type_get()" was renamed as "kind()". The latter had
backward compatibility mechanisms, not the former.
In Bison 3.6 none of this should be used, but rather
assert(t.kind() == symbol_kind::S_INTLIT);

* data/skeletons/c++.m4 (by_type): Make it an alias to by_kind.
I don't plan to fix everything in one go. But this was in the way of
the next commit.
* data/skeletons/lalr1.java: Avoid space before parens.
* tests/java.at: Adjust.
Some people have been using that symbol. Some even have #defined it
themselves.

Let's provide backward compatibility, having it point to YYUNDEF, so
that an error message is generated.
* data/skeletons/yacc.c (YYERRCODE): New, at the exact same location
it was defined before.
These are internal details. `type_get ()` is still there to ensure
backward compatibility, `kind ()` being the modern way.
* data/skeletons/c++.m4 (by_type, by_type::type): Rename as...
(by_kind, by_kind::kind_): this.
Adjust dependencies.

I'm quite pleased to see that the tricky case of glr.c was already
prepared by the changes to support syntax_error exceptions. Better
yet, it is actually syntax_error that becomes a special case of the
general pattern: make yytoken be YYERRCODE.
* data/skeletons/glr.c (YYFAULTYTOK): Remove the now useless (Basil)
Faulty token.
Instead, use the error token.
* data/skeletons/lalr1.d, data/skeletons/lalr1.java: When computing
the action, first check the case of the error token.
* tests/calc.at: Check cases for the error token symbols before and
after it.
* data/skeletons/yacc.c (yyparse): When the scanner returns YYERRCODE,
go directly to error recovery (yyerrlab1).
However, don't keep the error token as lookahead, that token is too
special.
* data/skeletons/lalr1.cc: Likewise.
* examples/c/bistromathic/parse.y (yylex): Use that feature to report
nicely invalid characters.
* examples/c/bistromathic/bistromathic.test: Check that.
* examples/test: Neutralize gratuitous differences such as rule
position.
* tests/calc.at: Check that case in C only.
The other case seem to be working, but that's an illusion that the
next commit will address (in fact, they can enter endless loops, and
report the error several times anyway).
We will not keep YYERRCODE anyway, it causes backward compatibility
issues. So as a first step, let all the skeletons use that name,
until we have a better one.

symbol_type::token () was removed: it returned the token kind of a
symbol. To do that, one needs to convert from the symbol kind to the
token kind, which requires a table.
This broke some users' unit tests for scanners, see
https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-bison/2020-01/msg00001.htmlhttps://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-bison/2020-03/msg00020.htmlhttps://lists.gnu.org/r/help-bison/2020-04/msg00005.html
Instead of making this possible again, let's check the symbol's kind
instead. So give proper access to a symbol's kind.
That feature existed, undocumented, as 'type_get()'. Let's rename
this as 'kind()'.
* data/skeletons/c++.m4, data/skeletons/glr.cc,

symbol_type::kind.
* data/skeletons/c++.m4: Define the old names in terms on the new
ones, instead of the converse.
* doc/bison.texi (C++ Parser Interface): Be more extensive about
token_kind_type.
Not all the symbols have a fixed symbol code. UNDEF's one is fixed:

(A Complete C++ Example): Promote LAC, now that we have it.
Promote parse.error detailed over verbose.
* examples/c++/calc++/calc++.test, tests/local.at: Adjust.
I have been hesitating a lot before doing it ---after all the user
must not use this kind, so what's the point of showing it in
yytoken_kind_t. And eventually I chose to play it safe with the
typing system and make it possible to use yytoken_kind_t for all the
tokens, even the "empty token".
* data/skeletons/c.m4: Give an id and a tag to YYEMPTY.
(b4_token_enums): Define YYEMPTY.
* data/skeletons/c++.m4 (b4_token_enums): Define YYEMPTY.
* data/skeletons/glr.c, data/skeletons/glr.cc, data/skeletons/yacc.c:
(YYEMPTY): Remove.
Use b4_symbol(-2, id) instead.
The user should think of yypcontext fields as accessible only via
yypcontext_* functions. So let's rename yyexpected_tokens to reflect
that.
Let's _not_ rename yyreport_syntax_error, as the user may define this
function, and is not allowed to access directly the fields of
yypcontext_t: she *must* use the "accessors". This is comparable to
the case of C++/Java where the user defines
parser::report_syntax_error, not parser::context::report_syntax_error.
* data/skeletons/glr.c, data/skeletons/yacc.c (yyexpected_tokens):
Rename as...
(yypcontext_expected_tokens): this.
Adjust dependencies.
The name "$end" is nice in the report, in particular it avoids that
pointed-rules (aka items) be too long. It also helps keeping them
"standard".
But it is bad in error messages, we should report "end of file" (or
maybe "end of input", this is debatable). So, unless the user already
defined the alias for the error token herself, make it "end of file".
It should even be translated if the user already translated some
tokens, so that there is now no strong reason to redefine the $end
token.
* src/output.c (prepare_symbol_names): Issue "end of file" instead of
"$end".
* data/skeletons/lalr1.java (yytnamerr_): Remove the renaming hack.
* build-aux/update-test: Accept files with names containing a "+",
such as c++.at.
* tests/actions.at, tests/c++.at, tests/conflicts.at,
* tests/glr-regression.at, tests/regression.at, tests/skeletons.at:
Adjust.
yy::parser features a parse() function, not a yyparse() one.
* data/skeletons/lalr1.cc (yyreport_syntax_error)
(context::yyexpected_tokens): Rename as...
(report_syntax_error, context::expected_tokens): these.
