On an invalid character literal such as "'\777'" we used to produce
two errors:
input.y:2.9-12: error: invalid number after \-escape: 777
input.y:2.8-13: error: empty character literal
Get rid of the second one.

Currently EOF is handled in an adhoc way, with a #define YYEOF 0 in
the implementation file. As a result, the user has to define her own
EOF token if she wants to use it, which is a pity.
Give the $end token a visible kind name, YYEOF. Except that in C,
where enums are not scoped, we would have collisions between all the
definitions of YYEOFs in the header files, so in C, make it
<api.PREFIX>EOF.
* data/skeletons/c.m4 (YYEOF): Override its name to avoid collisions.
Unless the user already gave it a different name.

There are people out there that do use YYERRCODE (the token kind of
the error token). See for instance
3812012bb7/unixODBC-2.3.2/Drivers/nn/yylex.c.
Currently, YYERRCODE is defined by yacc.c in an adhoc way as a #define
in the *.c file only. It belongs with the other token kinds.
YYERRCODE is not a nice name, it does not fit in our naming scheme.
YYERROR would be more logical, but it collides with the YYERROR macro.
Shall we keep the same name in all the skeletons? Besides, to avoid
collisions in C, we need to apply the api prefix: YYERRCODE is
actually <PREFIX>ERRCODE. This is not needed in the other languages.

According to https://www.unix.com/man-page/POSIX/1posix/yacc/, the
user is allowed to specify her user number for the error token:
The token error shall be reserved for error handling. The name
error can be used in grammar rules. It indicates places where the
parser can recover from a syntax error. The default value of error
shall be 256. Its value can be changed using a %token
declaration. The lexical analyzer should not return the value of
error.
I think this feature is useless, the user should not have to deal with
that. The intend is probably to give the user a means to use 256 if
she wants to, but provided "error" cleared the path first by being
assigned another number. In the case of Bison, 256 is assigned to
"error" at the end if the user did not use it for a token of hers. So
this feature is useless.
Yet it is valid, and if the user assigns twice a token number to
"error", then the second time we want to complain about it and want to
show the original definition. At this point, we try to display the
built-in definition of "error", whose location is NULL, and we crash.
Rather, the location of the first user definition of "error" should
become its defining location.

Since Bison 2.7, output was indented four spaces for explanatory
statements. For example:
input.y:2.7-13: error: %type redeclaration for exp
input.y:1.7-11: previous declaration
Since the introduction of caret-diagnostics, it became less clear.
Remove the indentation and display submessages as in GCC:
input.y:2.7-13: error: %type redeclaration for exp

We used to display the unexpected token first:
$ bison foo.y
foo.y:1.8-13: error: syntax error, unexpected %token, expecting character literal or identifier or <tag>
1 | %token %token
| ^~~~~~
GCC uses a different format:
$ gcc-mp-9 foo.c
foo.c:1:5: error: expected identifier or '(' before ')' token
1 | int()()()
| ^
and so does Clang:
$ clang-mp-9.0 foo.c
foo.c:1:5: error: expected identifier or '('
int()()()
^
1 error generated.
They display the unexpected token last (or not at all). Also, they
don't waste width with "syntax error". Let's try that. It gives, for
the same example as above:
$ bison foo.y
foo.y:1.8-13: error: expected character literal or identifier or <tag> before %token
1 | %token %token
| ^~~~~~
* src/complain.h, src/complain.c (syntax_error): New.

String literals, which allow for better error messages, are (too)
liberally accepted by Bison, which might result in silent errors. For
instance
%type <exVal> cond "condition"
does not define “condition” as a string alias to 'cond' (nonterminal
symbols do not have string aliases). It is rather equivalent to
%nterm <exVal> cond
%token <exVal> "condition"
i.e., it gives the type 'exVal' to the "condition" token, which was
clearly not the intention.

There might be something to do in gnulib about this, but I believe
that gnulib should not be used in the test suite in the first place.
The test suite should work with other compilers than the one used to
compile the package. For a start, Bison sources are more
demanding (C99) than the generated parsers. Last time I tried, tcc
for example, was not able to compile Bison, yet our generated parsers
should compile cleanly with it.
Besides the problem at hand is with the C++ compiler, with is not the
one used to set up gnulib at configuration-time (config.h is mainly
built from probing the C compiler).
We should really not depend on gnulib in tests.
This was introduced in 2001 to check whether including
stdlib.h/string.h is safe thanks to STDC_HEADERS
(2ce1014469). Today, we assume at least
a C90 compiler, it should be safe enough.
* tests/local.at, tests/testsuite.h: Do not include config.h.
* tests/atlocal.in (conftest.cc): Likewise.
(CPPFLAGS): Do not expose lib/, as because of this we might picked up
gnulib replacement headers for system headers.
* tests/input.at: Use int instead of ptrdiff_t, for easier portability
(some machine on the CI did not find ptrdiff_t).
* tests/c++.at: Add missing include for getchar.
Because the checking of the grammar is made by phases after the whole
grammar was read, we sometimes have diagnostics that look weird. In
some case, within one type of checking, the entities are not checked
in the order in which they appear in the file. For instance, checking
symbols is done on the list of symbols sorted by tag:
foo.y:1.20-22: warning: symbol BAR is used, but is not defined as a token and has no rules [-Wother]
1 | %destructor {} QUX BAR
| ^~~
foo.y:1.16-18: warning: symbol QUX is used, but is not defined as a token and has no rules [-Wother]
1 | %destructor {} QUX BAR
| ^~~
Let's sort them by location instead:
foo.y:1.16-18: warning: symbol 'QUX' is used, but is not defined as a token and has no rules [-Wother]
1 | %destructor {} QUX BAR
| ^~~
foo.y:1.20-22: warning: symbol 'BAR' is used, but is not defined as a token and has no rules [-Wother]

The current approach, with location_caret_suggestion, is fragile:
there's a protocol of calls to the complain functions which is strict.
We should rather have a richer structure describing the diagnostics,
including with submessages such as the suggestions, passed in the end
to the routines in charge of formatting and printing them.

The name fixed-output-files is pretty clear: generate y.tab.c, as Yacc

This directive is obsolete since December 29th 2001

could be removed just as well as far as I'm concerned.
* src/scan-gram.l, src/parse-gram.y (%fixed-output-files): Detach from

Because the fix-its were ready the character-based columns, but were
applied on byte-based columns, the result with multibyte characters or
tabs could be "interesting". For instance
%fixed-output_files
%fixed_output-files
%fixed-output-files
%define api.prefix {foo}
%no-default-prec

* tests/input.at: Check it.
Currently, when we quote the source file, we indent it with one space,
and preserve tabulations, so there is a discrepancy and the visual
rendering is bad. One way out is to indent with a tab instead of a
space, but then this space can be used for more information. This is
what GCC9 does. Let's play copy cats.
