Currently the caller must specify the ./ prefix to its command. Let's
avoid that: it will be nicer to read, make it easier to have a version
that works for Java and C/C++.
* tests/local.at (AT_PARSER_CHECK): Prefix the command with ./.
Adjust callers.
* tests/conflicts.at (AT_YYLEX_PROTOTYPE): Don't define it, leave that
task to AT_DATA_GRAMMAR.
But be honest: tell AT_BISON_OPTION_PUSHDEFS all the options we use.
The format is inconsistent. For instance most sections are
indented (including "Terminals unused in grammar" for instance), but
the sections "Terminals, with rules where they appear" and
"Nonterminals, with rules where they appear" are not. Let's indent
them. Also, these two sections try to wrap the output to avoid lines
too long. Yet we don't do that in the rest of the file, for instance
when listing the lookaheads of an item.
For instance in the case of Bison's parse-gram.output we go from:
Terminals, with rules where they appear
"end of file" (0) 0

Currently on a grammar such as
exp : a '1' | a '2' | a '3' | b '1' | b '2' | b '3'
a:
b:
we count only one rr-conflict on the `b:` rule, i.e., we expect:
b: %expect-rr 1
although there are 3 conflicts in total. That's because in the
conflicted state we count only a single conflict, not three (one for
each of the lookaheads: '1', '2', '3').

Currently on a grammar such as
exp: "number" | exp "+" exp | exp "*" exp
we count only one sr-conflict for both binary rules, i.e., we expect:
exp: "number" | exp "+" exp %expect 1 | exp "*" exp %expect 1
although there are 4 conflicts in total. That's because in the states
in conflict, for instance that for the "+" rule:
State 6
2 exp: exp . "+" exp
2 | exp "+" exp . [$end, "+", "*"]
3 | exp . "*" exp
"+" shift, and go to state 4
"*" shift, and go to state 5
"+" [reduce using rule 2 (exp)]
"*" [reduce using rule 2 (exp)]
$default reduce using rule 2 (exp)
we count only a single conflict, although there are two (one on "+"
and another with "*").

(count_rule_sr_conflicts): Adjust.
* tests/conflicts.at (%expect in grammar rules): New.
This change allows one to document (and check) which rules participate
in shift/reduce and reduce/reduce conflicts. This is particularly
important GLR parsers, where conflicts are a normal occurrence. For
example,
%glr-parser
%expect 1
%%
...
argument_list:
arguments %expect 1
| arguments ','
| %empty
;
arguments:
expression
| argument_list ',' expression
;
...
Looking at the output from -v, one can see that the shift-reduce
conflict here is due to the fact that the parser does not know whether
to reduce arguments to argument_list until it sees the token AFTER the
following ','. By marking the rule with %expect 1 (because there is a
conflict in one state), we document the source of the 1 overall shift-
reduce conflict.
In GLR parsers, we can use %expect-rr in a rule for reduce/reduce
conflicts. In this case, we mark each of the conflicting rules. For
example,
%glr-parser
%expect-rr 1
%%
stmt:
target_list '=' expr ';'
| expr_list ';'
;
target_list:
target
| target ',' target_list
;
target:
ID %expect-rr 1
;
expr_list:
expr
| expr ',' expr_list
;
expr:
ID %expect-rr 1
| ...
;
In a statement such as
x, y = 3, 4;
the parser must reduce x to a target or an expr, but does not know
which until it sees the '='. So we notate the two possible reductions
to indicate that each conflicts in one rule.

On these tests, at -O2 and above, GCC 8 complains that yylval may be
uninitialized. But it seems wrong: it is initialized. Rather than
turning off the warning in the skeleton (hence possibility hiding
relevant warnings of user parsers), let's turn it off in the tests
only.

165: parse.error=verbose and consistent errors: lr.default-reduction=consistent FAILED (conflicts.at:635)

In a precedence declaration, when tokens are declared with a litteral
character (e.g., 'a') or with a identifier (e.g., B), Bison behaved
differently: the litteral tokens would be numbered first, and then the
other ones, leading to the following grammar:
%right A B 'c' 'd'
being numbered as such: 'c' 'd' A B.

The current routines used to display s/r and r/r conflicts are both
inconvenient from the programmer point of view (they do not use the
warning infrastructure) and for the user (the messages are rather
terse, not necessarily pleasant to read, and because they don't use
the same routines, they look different).
It was due to the belief (dating back to the initial checked-in
version of Bison) that, at some point, POSIX Yacc mandated the format
for these messages. Today, the Open Group's manual page for Yacc,
<http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/yacc.html>,
explicitly states that the format of these messages is unspecified.
See commit be7280480c and
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2002-12/msg00027.html>.
For a discussion on the chosen warning format, see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2012-09/msg00039.html
In an effort to factor the handling of errors and warnings, use the
Bison warning routines to report these messages.
