Implement lookahead correction (LAC) for the C++ skeleton. LAC is a
mechanism to make sure that we report the correct list of expected
tokens if a syntax error occurs. So far, LAC was only supported for
the C skeleton "yacc.c".
* data/skeletons/lalr1.cc: Add LAC support.
* doc/bison.texi: Update.
* data/skeletons/yacc.c (yysyntax_error): Change the nesting of `m4`
conditions slightly to make it more readable.
The generated C code stays unchanged.
* tests/regression.at: Use %expect to avoid warnings.
Set the keywords to facilitate running specific tests.
Use macros such as AT_YYLEX_DECLARE to facilitate tests for other
languages.
Likewise for AT_FULL_COMPILE.
In Texinfo. empty lines in multitable rows generate empty lines in the
output. Avoid them altogether.
With help from Gavin Smith.

* build-aux/cross-options.pl: Separate rows with empty lines.
So, to be more readable, generate a single line for each row.
Use Perl format to this end.
See the previous commit. This option should be removed, -o suffices.
* src/getargs.c (FIXED_OUTPUT_FILES): New.
Add support for it.
(getargs): Define loc, and use it.
This is safer when we need to pass a pointer to a location.
The name fixed-output-files is pretty clear: generate y.tab.c, as Yacc
does. So let's detach this from %yacc which does more: it requires
POSIX Yacc behavior.
This directive is obsolete since December 29th 2001
8c9a50bee1. It does not show in the
doc. I don't want to spend more time on improving its diagnostics, it
could be removed just as well as far as I'm concerned.
* src/scan-gram.l, src/parse-gram.y (%fixed-output-files): Detach from
%yacc.
Years ago we moved from 'look-ahead' to 'lookahead', and that alias
was kept for backward compatibility. But now that we use argmatch to
generate the documentation, that value clutters the doc.
* src/getargs.c (argmatch_report_args): Remove the
--report=look-aheads alias.
The doc says that -Dfoo=bar is the same as %define foo "bar". It is
not: the quotes are not added (and it makes a difference).
* doc/bison.texi (Tuning the Parser): Fix the definition of -D/-F
* src/getargs.c (usage): Likewise.
Let's clarify --help: use clearer "section" names, as in the doc.
Move --yacc to where it belongs.
* src/getargs.c (usage): Rename "Parser" as "Tuning the Parser", as in
the doc.
Rename "Output" as "Output Files"
Move --yacc to "Tuning the Parser".
* doc/bison.texi: Likewise.
It can now generate the usage message.
* src/complain.h (feature_fixit_parsable): Rename as...
(feature_fixit): this, for column economy.
Adjust dependencies.
(warning_usage): New.
Use it.
* src/complain.h, src/complain.c, src/getargs.h, src/getargs.c:
Use ARGMATCH_DEFINE_GROUP instead of the older interface.
The code is inconsistent: sometimes we pass by value, sometimes by
reference. Let's stick to the last, more conventional for large
values in C.
* src/scan-code.l: Pass locations by reference.
* 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.
Sadly enough, AFAIK, there were never answers to the "More user
feedback will help to stabilize it" sentences. Remove them.
* src/getargs.c: IELR, canonical LR and XML output are here to stay,
and they are no more experimental than some other features.
* doc/bison.texi: Likewise.
Also remove "experimental" warning for Java, LAC, LR tuning options,
and named references.
* data/skeletons/lalr1.java: Use more conventional function names for
Java.
Prefer < and <= to => and >.
Use the same approach for m4 quotation as in the other skeletons.
Fix indentation issues.
* tests/calc.at, tests/java.at, tests/javapush.at: Fix quotation style.
(main): Use 'args', not 'argv', the former seems more conventional and
is used elsewhere in Bison.
Prefer character literals to integers to denote characters.
* examples/java/Calc.y: Likewise.
Travis answered favorably to my suggestion to provide a means to
disable git clone on some jobs (issue 7542). See
https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/customizing-the-build/#disabling-git-clone.
* .travis.yml: Disable git globally, enable it for i. the compile job,
and ii. the test job on ICC which needs the install-icc.sh script.
This is an experiment. Maybe more styles will be used (in which case
a short-hand function will be useful), maybe it will be just reverted.
* data/bison-default.css (.traces0): New.
* src/lalr.c (lalr): Use it.
