abd189e8dc build: create xz instead of bzip2 tarballs.
Suggested by Jim Meyering at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2011-06/msg00012.html>.
* README-hacking (Release Procedure): Update example.
* configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Replace dist-bzip2 with
dist-xz.

8348436580 doc: clean up references to `Locations Overview'.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Locations Overview): Rename node to...
(Locations): ... this, which is its section name.  Update menus to
match that and not to use the title `Tracking Locations', which is
a different section.

7404cdf3a1 doc: clean up references to `Tracking Locations'.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Locations): Rename node to...
(Tracking Locations): ... this, which is its section name, and
update all cross references.  The trouble is that there is another
node about locations.  Its section name is `Locations', which was
easily confused with the node name of this node.  Moreover, its
node name is `Locations Overview', which was mistakenly used to
label some cross references to this node.

ce24f7f59b doc: clean up `Named References' a little.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Named References): Rename section to match
the node name, and update all cross references.  Don't use the
acronyms RHS and LHS given that we don't expand them anywhere in
the manual.  Try to use @samp and @code properly.  Mention that
named references are experimental as we've already stated in NEWS.
(Destructor Decl): Expand the only remaining use of RHS or LHS.

908c8647de doc: discuss named references after locations.
Reported by Hans Aberg at

* NEWS (2.5.1): Document.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Named References): Because it discusses
locations in addition to semantic values, move this subsection out

not yet been introduced, to be a new section after the following
section, `Tracking Locations'.

77bb73e7af Don't use IF_LINT in Bison sources.
It creates unnecessary differences between the sources that Bison
maintainers build and test (given that maintainers normally
configure with --enable-gcc-warnings) and the sources that Bison
users build.  Instead, use PACIFY_CC, which doesn't.  This change
fixes compiler warnings reported by Tys Lefering at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2011-05/msg00004.html>.
* configure.ac: Don't AC_DEFINE lint regardless of the configure
options.  This change affects imported gnulib sources, where
IF_LINT still appears and depends on lint.
* src/scan-gram.l, src/scan-skel.l: Replace uses of IF_LINT with
PACIFY_CC.
* src/system.h (IF_LINT): Remove cpp macro.
(PACIFY_CC): New cpp macro.

9d6af15318 Fix precedence for end token.
Since Bison 2.3b, which restored the ability of precedence
directives to assign user token numbers, doing so for user token
number 0 has produced an assertion failure.
* NEWS (2.5): Document fix.
* src/symtab.c (symbol_user_token_number_set): In the case of the
end token, don't decrement ntokens if it was never incremented.

names, and thus locations, functionality may be improved.  In the
case of symbol names, there should be no functional difference as
all characters are ASCII, so the intended benefit is just warning
suppression.

55dd356336 glr.c: omit yyresolveLocations when locations are disabled.
This prevents gcc 4.6.0's -Wunused-but-set-variable from warning
about yyresolveLocations's local yyrhsloc.  When locations are
enabled, there's no such warning because YYLLOC_DEFAULT then uses
yyrhsloc.  Reported by Jim Meyering at

9913d6e45a doc: clean up naming of various Bison files.
The Bison manual's names for various files associated with a Bison
parser has devolved into inconsistency.  This patch makes the
naming consistent for the most important files.  First, it chooses
"grammar file" over "input file".  The former appears to be more
traditional in the Bison manual, and Bison has other input
files (skeletons).  Second, it chooses "parser implementation
file" over names like "parser file", "parser source file", "parser
source code file", and "parser output file".  The new name makes
it clearer where Bison generates the main parser implementation,
and it is easily distinguishable from "parser header file".

* doc/bison.texinfo (Introduction): Say that IELR(1) and canonical

features probably shouldn't be mentioned in the introduction.
However, if Bison's limitations to LALR(1), C, and C++ are so
important that they should be mentioned here, then it's important
to point out that Bison is beginning to escape those limitations.
Moreover, these particular experimental features have very little
chance of being removed.

eb8c66bbda Do not allow identifiers that start with a dash.
This cleans up our previous fixes for a bug whereby Bison
discarded `.field' in `$-1.field'.  The previous fixes were less
restrictive about where a dash could appear in an identifier, but
the restrictions were hard to explain.  That bug was reported and
this final fix was originally suggested by Paul Hilfinger.  This
also fixes a remaining bug reported by Paul Eggert whereby Bison
parses `%token ID -123' as `%token ID - 123' and handles `-' as an
identifier.  Now, `-' cannot be an identifier.  Discussed in
threads beginning at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2011-01/msg00000.html>,
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2011-01/msg00004.html>.
* NEWS (2.5): Update entry describing the dash extension to
grammar symbol names.  Also, move that entry before the named
references entry because the latter mentions the former.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Symbol): Update documentation for symbol
names.  As suggested by Paul Eggert, mention the effect of periods
and dashes on named references.
(Decl Summary): Update documentation for unquoted %define values,
which, as a side effect, can no longer start with dashes either.
* src/scan-code.l (id): Implement.
* src/scan-gram.l (id): Implement.
* tests/actions.at (Exotic Dollars): Extend test group to exercise
bug reported by Paul Hilfinger.

7e5ef70679 Fix minor problems encountered by a fresh bootstrap.
* data/glr.c, data/yacc.c: Do not use apostrophes in '#' comments,
as they confuse xgettext, which tries to parse them as C character
constants in a preprocessor directive.
* data/yacc.c (yy_lac): Don't use printf %d format on *yyesp, as
that expression might not promote to int on some platforms.
* src/parse-gram.c, src/parse-gram.h: Regenerate.
