This should have been part of commit "symbols: stop dealing with YYEMPTY
as b4_symbol(-2, ...)" (cd40ec9526).
Give names to all the special symbols: "eof", "error" and "undef".
* data/skeletons/bison.m4 (b4_symbol): Let `b4_symbol(eof, ...)` mean
`b4_symbol(0, ...)`, `b4_symbol(error, ...)` mean `b4_symbol(1, ...)`,
and , `b4_symbol(undef, ...)` mean `b4_symbol(2, ...)`..

* data/skeletons/glr2.cc, data/skeletons/lalr1.cc,
* data/skeletons/lalr1.d, data/skeletons/lalr1.java,
* data/skeletons/yacc.c:
Prefer symbols to numbers.
Vector is synchronized, which is completely useless in our case (and
not even relevant when concurrency matters). No seasoned Java
programmer would use it.
Reported by Uxio Prego.
* data/skeletons/lalr1.java: Replace Vector with ArrayList.
Unfortunately its API is not as rich, and lacks lastElement and
setSize.
Shamelessly stolen from Adrian Vogelsgesang's implementation in
lalr1.cc.
* data/skeletons/lalr1.java (yycdebugNnl, yyLacCheck, yyLacEstablish)
(yyLacDiscard, yylacStack, yylacEstablished): New.
(Context): Use it.
* examples/java/calc/Calc.y: Enable LAC.
This is consistent with --defines being deprecated in favor of
--header. The directive %defines is also too similar to %define.
And %header matches nicely with api.header.name.
* src/scan-gram.l (%defines): Deprecate to %header.
(%header): Scan it.

* tests/input.at, tests/java.at, tests/local.at, tests/output.at,
* tests/synclines.at, tests/types.at:
Convert most tests to check %header instead of %defines.
The name "defines" is incorrect, the generated file contains far more
than just #defines.
* src/getargs.h, src/getargs.c (-H, --header): New option.
With optional argument, just like --defines, --xml, etc.
(defines_flag): Rename as...

* data/skeletons/lalr1.java, data/skeletons/yacc.c:
Be more accurate about yychar and yytoken.
Don't name local variables as if they were members.
This should have been done in 3.6, but I wanted to avoid introducing
conflicts into Vincent's work on counterexamples. It turns out it's
completely orthogonal.

Plus minor changes.
The user gives yyexpected_tokens a limit: the max number of tokens she
wants to hear about. That's because an error message that reports a
bazillion of possible tokens is useless.
In that case yyexpected_tokens returned 0, so the user would not know
if there are too many expected tokens or none (yes, that's possible).
There are several ways to tell the user in which situation she's in:
- return some E2MANY, a negative value. Then it makes the pattern
int argsize = yypcontext_expected_tokens (ctx, arg, ARGS_MAX);
if (argsize < 0)
return argsize;
no longer valid, as for E2MANY (i) the user must generate the error
message anyway, and (ii) she should not return E2MANY
- return ARGS_MAX + 1. Then it makes it dangerous for the user, as
she has to iterate update `min (ARGS_MAX, argsize)`.
Returning 0 is definitely simpler and safer for the user, as it tells
her "this is not an error, just generate your message without a list
of expecting tokens". So let's still return 0, but set arg[0] to the
empty token when the list is really empty.
* data/skeletons/glr.c, data/skeletons/lalr1.cc, data/skeletons/lalr1.java
* data/skeletons/yacc.c (yyexpected_tokens): Put the empty symbol
first if there are no possible tokens at all.
* examples/c/bistromathic/parse.y: Demonstrate how to use that.
* data/skeletons/lalr1.java (Location): Make it a static class.
(Lexer.yylex, Lexer.getLVal, Lexer.getStartPos, Lexer.getEndPos):
These are not needed in push parsers.
* examples/java/calc/Calc.y: Demonstrate push parsers in the Java.
* doc/bison.texi: Push parsers have been supported for a long time,
remove incorrect statements stating the opposite.
I don't plan to fix everything in one go. But this was in the way of
the next commit.
* data/skeletons/lalr1.java: Avoid space before parens.
* tests/java.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.
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.

Why didn't I think about this before??? symbolName should be a method
of SymbolKind.

The name "$end" is nice in the report, in particular it avoids that
pointed-rules (aka items) be too long. It also helps keeping them
"standard".
But it is bad in error messages, we should report "end of file" (or
maybe "end of input", this is debatable). So, unless the user already
defined the alias for the error token herself, make it "end of file".
It should even be translated if the user already translated some
tokens, so that there is now no strong reason to redefine the $end
token.
* src/output.c (prepare_symbol_names): Issue "end of file" instead of
"$end".
* data/skeletons/lalr1.java (yytnamerr_): Remove the renaming hack.
* build-aux/update-test: Accept files with names containing a "+",
such as c++.at.
* tests/actions.at, tests/c++.at, tests/conflicts.at,
* tests/glr-regression.at, tests/regression.at, tests/skeletons.at:

That's one nice benefit from using enums.
* data/skeletons/lalr1.java (YYSYMBOL_YYEMPTY): No longer define it.
Use 'null' instead.

Refer to the "kind" of a symbol, not its "type", where appropriate.
The Java enums are very different from the C model. As a consequence,
one cannot "build" an enum directly from an integer, we must retrieve
it. That's the purpose of the SymbolType.get class method.
* data/skeletons/java.m4 (b4_symbol_enum, b4_case_code_symbol)
(b4_declare_symbol_enum): New.
* data/skeletons/lalr1.java: Use SymbolType,
SymbolType.YYSYMBOL_YYEMPTY, etc.
* examples/java/calc/Calc.y, tests/local.at: Adjust.
* data/skeletons/lalr1.java (yysyntaxErrorArguments): Move it from the
context, to the parser object.
Generate only for detailed and verbose error messages.
* tests/local.at (AT_YYERROR_DEFINE(java)): Use yyexpectedTokens
instead.

Lexer.YYEOF.

yysyntax_error_arguments.

The error format should be translated, but contrary to the case of
C/C++, we cannot just depend on macros to adapt on the
presence/absence of '_'. Let's consider that the message format is to
be translated iff there are some internationalized tokens.
* src/output.c (prepare_symbol_names): Define b4_has_translations.
* data/skeletons/java.m4 (b4_trans): New.
* data/skeletons/lalr1.java: Use it to emit translatable or not the
format string.
And allow syntax error messages for 'detailed' and 'verbose' to be
translated.

(yysyntaxErrorArguments): New.
(yysyntax_error): Use it.
