Bison emits strings to translate in the generated code, for builtin
tokens. So they appear only in generated parsers, which are not
shipped, so they are not in the src tree, so we cannot use them in our
POTFILE.
Except src/parse-gram.c, which is in the source tree. And even in the
git repo. But to avoid useless diffs in the repo, we do not keep the
src/parse-gram.c _with_ the #lines. This is done in a dist-hook which
regenerates src/parse-gram.c when we run "make dist".
Unfortunately, then, update-po traverses the whole tree and sees that
the location of the strings to translate in src/parse-gram.c have
changed, so the bison.pot is to be updated. And that is not possible
in the "make dist" which is run within "make distcheck"
(not the one preparing the dist for distcheck, the one run by
distcheck to check that a distributed tarball can build a tarball)
because then the src tree is read-only.
So let's not put src/parse-gram.c in the POTFILE, and expose these
strings to gettextize by hand.
* src/i18n-strings.c: New.
* po/POTFILES.in: Add it, and remove src/parse-gram.c.
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.

* data/skeletons/java.m4 (b4_token_enum): Display the symbol's tag in
comment.
* data/skeletons/lalr1.java: Address overquotation issue.
* examples/java/calc/Calc.y, examples/java/simple/Calc.y: Use YYEOF,
not EOF.
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.
* src/scan-gram.l (STRING_GROW_ESCAPE): New.
* tests/input.at: Adjust.
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).
* examples/c/bistromathic/parse.y: here.
* examples/c/bistromathic/bistromathic.test: Check it.
Included a stupid case where the error is actually ignored.
When the user ctrl-d the line, we left the cursor not at col 0.
Let's fix that.
This revealed a few short-comings in the testing framework.
* examples/test (run): Also display the diffs.
And support -n.
* examples/c/bistromathic/bistromathic.test
* examples/c/bistromathic/parse.y
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.

* data/skeletons/yacc.c, doc/bison.texi, tests/headers.at,
* tests/input.at:
here.
* etc/bench.pl.in: Don't force parse.error=detailed
Use a simpler way to display the pseudo %bison directive.
(&bench_with_gbenchmark): Give details about the compiler.
We could try to avoid the weird "#if 1", but then the indentation of
the inner #if would be wrong. Let' keep it this way.
* data/skeletons/yacc.c: here.
Also, avoid sticking the comment to the directive.
Currently it was only using stubs. Let's actually translate the
strings using gettext.
* examples/c/bistromathic/local.mk: Define LOCALEDIR, BISON_LOCALEDIR
and link with libintl.
* examples/c/bistromathic/parse.y: Use them.
Remove useless includes.
Take ENABLE_NLS into account.
(error_format_string): New.
(yyreport_syntax_error): Rewrite to rely on a format string, which is
more appropriate for internationalization.
* examples/c/bistromathic/Makefile: We no longer use Flex.
We need readline and intl.
* doc/bison.texi: Point to bistromathic for a better option for
internationalization.
* po/POTFILES.in: Add bistromathic.
In C/C++, N_ is a no-op. Define it if the user didn't.

* src/output.c (prepare_symbol_names): Rename has_translations as
has_translations_flag.
* data/skeletons/bison.m4 (b4_has_translations_if): New.
* data/skeletons/java.m4 (b4_trans): Use it.
* data/skeletons/glr.c, data/skeletons/lalr1.cc, data/skeletons/yacc.c
(N_): Provide a default definition.
* src/output.c (prepare_symbol_names): Don't play tricks with the
symbols, it's quite too late.
(has_translations): Move to...
* src/symtab.c: here.
(symbols_pack): Use it to enable translation for special symbols.
On macOS, wc -l always prepends the result with a tab, even when fed
by stdin. But anyway, we should have used `grep -c -v`, which appears
to be portable according to Autoconf's "Limitations of Usual Tools"
section.
Reported by Denis Excoffier.
https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-bison/2020-04/msg00009.html
* tests/calc.at (_AT_CHECK_CALC): Use grep's -c instead.
macOS' version of readline does not repeat stdin on stdout in
non-interactive mode, contrary to the current version of GNU readline.
* examples/test: Add support for strip_prompt.
* examples/c/bistromathic/bistromathic.test (strip_prompt): Set it
when needed.
Early exit when needed.
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,
* data/skeletons/lalr1.cc (type_get): Rename as...
(kind): This.
(type_get): Install a backward compatibility alias.
* doc/bison.texi (Complete Symbols): Document symbol_type and
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.
