c++: fix printing of state number on streams
pstate_clear is lacking a prototype.
Reported by Ryan
https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-bison/2020-05/msg00101.html
Besides, none of the C examples were compiled with the warning flags.
* configure.ac (warn_c): Add -Wmissing-prototypes.
* data/skeletons/yacc.c (pstate_clear): Make it static.
* examples/local.mk (TEST_CFLAGS): New.

* examples/c/lexcalc/local.mk, examples/c/mfcalc/local.mk,
* examples/c/pushcalc/local.mk, examples/c/reccalc/local.mk,
* examples/c/rpcalc/local.mk:
Use it.
GCC's warn_unused_result is not silenced by a cast to void, so we have
to "use" scanf's result.

Flex generated code produces too many warnings, including things such
as, with ICC:
examples/c/lexcalc/scan.c(1088): error #1682: implicit conversion
of a 64-bit integral type to a smaller integral type (potential portability problem)
2259 YY_INPUT( (&YY_CURRENT_BUFFER_LVALUE->yy_ch_buf[number_to_move]),
2260 ^
2261
2262
I am tired of trying to fix Flex's output. The project does not seem
maintained. We ought to avoid it. So, for the time being, don't try
to enable warnings with Flex.
* examples/c/bistromathic/parse.y, examples/c/reccalc/scan.l: Fix
warnings.
* doc/bison.texi: Discard scanf's return value to defeat
-Werror=unused-result.
Suggested by Matias Fonzo <selk@dragora.org>.
* cfg.mk: Post announcements to bison-announce.
* configure.ac: Build lzip packages.
* .travis.yml: Build only xz, we don't care about the other formats
here.

The option --header was introduced in version 2.5.6.
The option --header-file was introduced in version 2.6.4.
Reported by Bruno Haible.
https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-bison/2020-05/msg00013.html
So use --header, and do bother with versions that don't support it.
* m4/flex.m4: Check whether flex supports --header.
* configure.ac (FLEX_WORKS, FLEX_CXX_WORKS): Set to false if it doesn't.
* * examples/c/reccalc/local.mk, examples/c/reccalc/Makefile:
Use --header rather than --header-file.
See https://github.com/nemequ/icc-travis/issues/15.
Thanks to Jeff Hammond and Evan Nemerson for their help.
* configure.ac (warn_common): Disable dubious warnings.
* .travis.yml: Use ICC again.
Be robust to newer versions of Autoconf where the package URL defaults
to https instead of http.
* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Use https.
* tests/report.at: Adjust expected output s/http/https/
to match updated URL.
GCC's -Wchar-subscripts may report issues on platforms where char is
unsigned. Unfortunately the current CI does not reproduce the
problem. But that would allow contributors to report issues if the
warning appears somewhere.
See 139d065594.
Problem reported by Andy Fiddaman in:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-bison/2019-12/msg00021.html
* configure.ac (warn_common): Add -Wchar-subscripts.
* README: A few fixes.
Explain how to install color support.
* README-hacking: Rename as...
* README-hacking.md: this, and convert to Markdown.
Improve typography.
Improve explanations about update-test.
We still have a few old C casts in lalr1.cc, let's get rid of them.
Reported by Frank Heckenbach.
Actually, let's monitor all our casts using easy to grep macros.
Let's use these macros to use the C++ standard casts when we are in
C++.
* data/skeletons/c.m4 (b4_cast_define): New.
* data/skeletons/glr.c, data/skeletons/glr.cc,
* data/skeletons/lalr1.cc, data/skeletons/stack.hh,
* data/skeletons/yacc.c:
Use it and/or its casts.
* tests/actions.at, tests/cxx-type.at,
* tests/glr-regression.at, tests/headers.at, tests/torture.at,
* tests/types.at:
Use YY_CAST instead of C casts.
* configure.ac (warn_cxx): Add -Wold-style-cast.
* doc/bison.texi: Disable it.
Reported by Thomas Petazzoni.
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2019-08/msg00000.html
* examples/c/reccalc/local.mk: Complete dependencies, including for
earlier versions of Automake (for sake of our CI, on top of Ubuntu
Xenial/Bionic, which feature only Automake 1.15).
(%D%/scan.c %D%/scan.h): Upgrade to the full version provided in
Automake's documentation.

Paul Eggert's changes in gnulib do fix the issue for modern GCCs (7,
8, 9) on macOS. Unfortunately these warnings are back on the
CI (GNU/Linux) with GCC 4.6, 4.7, (not 4.8) and 4.9.
Disable the warning locally.
* configure.ac (warn_common, warn_tests): Remove -Wtype-limits.
* src/system.h (IGNORE_TYPE_LIMITS_BEGIN, IGNORE_TYPE_LIMITS_END): New.
* src/InadequacyList.c, src/parse-gram.c, src/parse-gram.y,
* src/symtab.c: Use it.
Flex should not be required to build Bison or run the test suite (of
course it is needed for maintaining Bison). Yet the Automake
conditional FLEX_WORKS does not work.
* m4/flex.m4 (_AC_PROG_LEX_YYTEXT_DECL): Since this is called
conditionally, don't define LEX_IS_FLEX here, but rather...
(AC_PROG_LEX): here.
* configure.ac: Be more cautious about possibly undefined variables.
* configure.ac (DCFLAGS): Pass -g.
* data/skeletons/d.m4 (b4_locations_if): Remove, let bison.m4's one do
its job.
* data/skeletons/lalr1.d (position): Leave filename empty by default.
(position::toString): Don't print empty file names.
(location::this): New ctor.
(location::toString): Match the implementations of C/C++.
(yy_semantic_null): Leave undefined, the previous implementation does
not compile.
* tests/calc.at: Improve the implementation for D.
Enable more checks, in particular using locations.
* tests/local.at (AT_YYERROR_DEFINE(d)): Fix its implementation.
We were using the gnulib's gettext module with tricks in
bootstrap.conf to avoid useless files. Instead, use gnulib's
gettext-h module.
* .travis.yml: Force Gettext 0.18.3 on Trusty.
* bootstrap.conf: Use gettext-h instead of gettext.
(excluded_files): Remove.
* configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Bump to 0.19.
* configure.ac (DCFLAGS): Define.
* tests/atlocal.in: Receive it.
* data/skeletons/d.m4 (api.parser.class): Remove spurious YY.
* data/skeletons/lalr1.d (yylex): Return an int instead of a
YYTokenType, so that we can use characters as tokens.
* examples/d/calc.y: Adjust.
* tests/local.at: Initial support for D.
(AT_D_IF, AT_DATA_GRAMMAR(D), AT_YYERROR_DECLARE(d))

aux/parser-internal.h:429:12: error: 'syntax_error' has no out-of-line virtual
method definitions; its vtable will be emitted in every translation unit
[-Werror,-Wweak-vtables]
struct syntax_error : std::runtime_error
To avoid this warning, we need syntax_error to have a virtual function
defined in a compilation unit. Let it be the destructor. To comply
with C++98, this dtor should be 'throw()'. Merely making YY_NOEXCEPT
be 'throw()' in C++98 triggers
errors (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2019-01/msg00022.html),
so let's introduce YY_NOTHROW and flag only ~syntax_error with it.
Also, since we now have an explicit dtor, we need to provide an copy
ctor.
* configure.ac (warn_cxx): Add -Wweak-vtables.
* data/skeletons/c++.m4 (YY_NOTHROW): New.
(syntax_error): Declare the dtor, and define the copy ctor.
* data/skeletons/glr.cc, data/skeletons/lalr1.cc (~syntax_error):
Define.
Reported by Derek Clegg.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2019-01/msg00004.html
* configure.ac (warn_common): Add -Wimplicit-fallthrough.
This does trigger failures in the test suite.
* data/skeletons/glr.c, data/skeletons/lalr1.cc,
* data/skeletons/yacc.c, tests/c++.at:
Make fall-throws explicit.

Clang does not like this:
template <typename D>
struct basic_symbol : D
{
basic_symbol();
};
struct by_type {};
struct symbol_type : basic_symbol<by_type>
{
symbol_type(){}
};
It gives:
$ clang++-mp-7.0 -Wundefined-func-template foo.cc -c
foo.cc:11:3: warning: instantiation of function 'basic_symbol<by_type>::basic_symbol'
required here, but no definition is available [-Wundefined-func-template]
symbol_type(){}

foo.cc:4:3: note: forward declaration of template entity is here
basic_symbol();

foo.cc:11:3: note: add an explicit instantiation declaration to suppress this warning
if 'basic_symbol<by_type>::basic_symbol' is explicitly instantiated in
another translation unit
symbol_type(){}
^
1 warning generated.
The same applies for the basic_symbol's destructor and `clear()`.
* configure.ac (warn_cxx): Add -Wundefined-func-template.
This triggered one failure in the test suite:
* tests/headers.at (Sane headers): here, where we check that we can
compile the generated headers in other compilation units than the
parser's.
Add a variant type to make sure that basic_symbol and symbol_type are
properly generated in this case.
* data/skeletons/c++.m4 (basic_symbol): Inline the definitions of the
destructor and of `clear` in the class definition.
This line:
slice<stack_symbol_type, stack_type> slice (yystack_, yylen);

* configure.ac (warn_c): Move -Wshadow to...

* data/skeletons/stack.hh (slice): Define as an inner class of stack.

We also need to move the unreachable 'goto' to a reachable place,
otherwise clang complains about the code being unreachable anyway.
See also https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39736.
Interestingly, we don't have to apply that trick to
`#define YYCDEBUG if (false) std::cerr`, clang does not warn when the
code comes from macro expansion.
* configure.ac: Use -Wunreachable-code when supported.
* data/lalr1.cc, data/yacc.c: Pacify clang's warning about `if (0)`
by using a macro.
Another possibility was to move this statement to a reachable place.
* tests/actions.at, tests/c++.at: Avoid generating unreachable code.
The CI is using Flex 2.5.35. And ICC is too picky for it. Let's stop
making these warnings errors. I wish I could disable them in the
source files using the ICC version and the Flex version, but ICC's
pragma support is unclear, and I'm tired of fighting it.
* configure.ac (FLEX_SCANNER_CXXFLAGS): Make warnings warnings.
* examples/c++/local.mk: Comment changes.
