786743d5eb Add -Wconflicts-sr and -Wconflicts-rr.
Thus, conflict reports are now affected by -Werror and -Wnone
(unless %expect or %expect-rr is specified).  Reported by George
Neuner at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2010-08/msg00002.html>.
* NEWS (2.5): Document.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Bison Options): Document.
* src/complain.c, src/complain.h (set_warning_issued): Export
function.
* src/conflicts.c (conflicts_print): Suppress conflict report
based on -Wno-conflicts-sr and -Wno-conflicts-rr, and treat
conflicts as errors if -Werror.
* src/getargs.c (warnings_flag): Initialize with
warnings_conflicts_sr and warnings_conflicts_rr as well.
(warnings_args, warnings_types): Add entries for
warnings_conflicts_sr and warnings_conflicts_rr.
(usage): Update.
* src/getargs.h (enum warnings): Add entries for
warnings_conflicts_sr and warnings_conflicts_rr.
* tests/conflicts.at (-W versus %expect and %expect-rr): New test
group.
* tests/local.at (AT_BISON_CHECK_NO_XML): Update now that the
conflict report can produce a "warnings being treated as errors"
message.  Also, check that stderr is now fully scrubbed by -Wnone
when the exit status is 0.

e4a148796a Pacify maintainer-check-posix.
Adding command-line options after the grammar file name is not
permitted, so disable checks that do that when
maintainer-check-posix is running.
* tests/local.at (AT_BISON_CHECK_NO_XML): Don't run the
problematic checks when POSIXLY_CORRECT=1.  Also, for readability,
remove an unnecessary m4_if.

accept a new parameter for telling the caller whether true is
being returned for a potential midrule warning.

lr.keep-unreachable-states, lr.type, and parse.lac into brief
summaries, and cross-reference the appropriate subsections of
Tuning LR.  For parse.lac, mention that it's only implemented for
deterministic parsers in C.  In parse.error entry, mention LAC,
and add cross-reference to the LAC section.
(Error Reporting): When mentioning parse.error, mention LAC, and

documentation removed from %define Summary.  Change all

(Calc++ Parser): When mentioning parse.error, mention LAC, and add

* doc/bison.texinfo (%define Summary): Reword so it reads well as
a separate section.  For example, add an intro, and move most of
the text outside of the @deffn so it is not indented so far.
(%code Summary): Likewise.
(Table of Symbols): Reword %code entry to match the %code entry in
Decl Summary.

35c1e5f0cd doc: finish splitting apart the manual's Decl Summary section.
Suggested by Akim Demaille at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2009-05/msg00013.html>.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Decl Summary): Extract most of the %define
entry into...
(%define Summary): ... this new subsection, and update all
cross-references.  For readability of the patches, rewriting of
the text so it makes sense as a separate subsection will come in a
later patch.  Moreover, the majority of the text describing the
various new LR features should likely move to another new section
somewhere.

ff7571c04d 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: Implement throughout.

679e9935fd doc: give credit to more of Bison's developers.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Introduction): Don't imply that only Robert
Corbett, Richard Stallman, and Wilfred Hansen have contributed to
Bison.  However, I don't have time to write a full history, so
just point readers to THANKS and ChangeLog.

af28d414f3 doc: document experimental features better.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Introduction): Say that IELR(1) and canonical
LR(1) are experimental.  Mention Java.  Normally experimental
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.
* src/getargs.c (usage): Say that IELR(1) and canonical LR(1) are
experimental.
