On a grammar such as
exp: "num" | "num" | "num"
we currently report only one RR conflict, instead of two.

Initial check-in introducing experimental GLR parsing. See entry in
ChangeLog dated 2002-06-27 from Paul Hilfinger for details.
See
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2018-11/msg00011.html
* src/conflicts.h, src/conflicts.c (count_state_rr_conflicts)
(count_rr_conflicts): Use only the correct count of conflicts.
* tests/glr-regression.at: Fix expectations.
It is unfortunate that %error_verbose was properly diagnosed as
obsoleted by "%define parse.error verbose", but %error-verbose was
not.
* src/parse-gram.y (%error-verbose): Remove support.
* src/scan-gram.l: Do it here instead, with a warning.
* tests/input.at (Deprecated directives): Check it.
Support for DJGPP was announced to be removed in the NEWS of Bison
3.1 (2018-08-27) unless someone expressed interest. There was no answer.
* djgpp: Remove.
* NEWS, Makefile.am, cfg.mk, po/POTFILES.in: Adjust.
The files stack.hh and position.hh are deprecated. Rather than
devoting specify %define variables to discard them (api.position.file
and api.stack.file), and rather than having to use special rules when
api.location.file is used, let's simply decide that from %require
"3.2" onwards, these files will not be generated.
The only noticeable thing here is that, in order to be able to check
the behavior of %require "3.2", to have this version (which is still
3.1-*) to accept %require "3.2".
* src/gram.h, src/gram.c (required_version): New.
* src/parse-gram.y (version_check): Set it.
* src/output.c (prepare): Pass it m4.
* data/bison.m4 (b4_required_version_if): Receive it and use it.
* data/location.cc, data/stack.hh: Replace the api.*.file with only
required version comparison.
* tests/input.at: No longer check api.stack.file and api.position.file.
* NEWS, doc/bison.texi: Don't mention them.
Document the %require 3.2 behavior.
* tests/output.at: Use %require 3.2 instead.
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.

* data/lalr1.cc (YY_EXCEPTIONS): New.
Use it to disable try/catch clauses.
* doc/bison.texi (C++ Parser Interface): Document it.
* configure.ac (CXXFLAGS_NO_EXCEPTIONS): New.
* tests/atlocal.in: Receive it.
* tests/local.at (AT_FULL_COMPILE, AT_LANG_COMPILE):
Accept a new argument, extra compiler flags.
* tests/calc.at: Run the C++ calculator with exception support disabled.

"Amusingly" enough, we have the same problem with %defines when the
parser file name has backslashes or quotes: we generate #includes with
an incorrect C string.
* src/output.c (prepare_symbol_definitions): Escape properly the file
names before passing them to M4.
* data/bison.m4, data/lalr1.cc: Don't simply put the file name between
two quotes (that should have been strong enough a smell...), expect
the string to be properly quoted.
* tests/synclines.at: New tests to check this.
Currently lalr1.cc makes an out-of-bound access when trying to read @1
in rules with an empty rhs (i.e., when there is no @1) that raises an
error (YYERROR).
glr.c already gracefully handles this by using @$ as initial location
for the errors. Let's do that in yacc.c and lalr1.cc.
* data/lalr1.cc, data/yacc.c: Use @$ to initialize the error location.
* tests/actions.at: Check that case.
* origin/maint:

version 3.0.4
gnulib: update
build: re-enable compiler warnings, and fix them
tests: c++: fix a C++03 conformance issue
tests: fix a title
c++: reserve 200 slots in the parser's stack
tests: be more robust to unrecognized synclines, and try to recognize xlc
tests: fix C++ conformance
build: fix some warnings
build: avoid infinite recursions on include_next
This fixes test 241 on xLC:
"input.y", line 42.11: 1540-0274 (S) The name lookup for "report" did not find a declaration.
"input.y", line 42.11: 1540-1292 (I) Static declarations are not considered for a function call if the function is not qualified.
where report is:
static void
report (std::ostream& yyo, int ival, float fval)
{
yyo << "ival: " << ival << ", fval: " << fval;
}
and line 42 is:
%printer { report (yyo, $$, $<fval>$); } <ival>;
It turns out that indeed this function must not be declared static,
<http://stackoverflow.com/a/17662745/1353549>. Let's put it into an
anonymous namespace.

* tests/actions.at (Qualified $$ in actions): Don't use "static",
prefer anonymous namespace.
* origin/maint:
doc: minor fixes
gnulib: strtoul is considered obsolete and now useless
c++: avoid warnings when destructors don't use $$
