* 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)
* data/glr.c: Remove tests for __cplusplus related to definition of
YYSTACKEXPANDABLE.
* doc/bison.texinfo: Rewrite paragraph saying C++ stacks are not
expandable to instead indicate conditions that prevent their expansion
in C++. Reorganize section on GLR semantic values a bit. Remove
discussion of YYLLOC_DEFAULT. Mention restrictions to POD data.
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.

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.

Unfortunately it is not possible to reuse the %prec directive. This
is because to please POSIX, we do not require to end the rules with a

is ambiguous: either a rule which precedence is that of baz, or a rule,
and then a declaration of the precedence of the token baz.
