M4's output pipe was not being drained upon fatal errors during
scan_skel. As a result, broken-pipe messages from M4 were seen
on at least AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and RHEL4, and this caused a
failure in the test suite. The problem was that, on platforms
where the default disposition for SIGPIPE is ignore instead of
terminate, M4 sometimes saw fwrite fail with errno=EPIPE and
then reported it. However, there's some sort of race condition,
because the new test group occasionally succeeded.

There were also problems with the test suite livelocking on
Tru64 5.1b. Reported by Didier Godefroy at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2009-05/msg00005.html>.
Switching to create_pipe_bidi suggested by Akim Demaille.
To attempt to solve both of these problems, switch to gnulib's
create_pipe_bidi and register M4 process as a slave. Along the
way, clean up file name conflict handling, which was affected by
the broken-pipe problem before the switch.
* NEWS (2.4.2): Document.
* THANKS (Didier Godefroy): Add.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add pipe.
* gnulib: Update to latest to make sure we have all the latest
fixes.
* lib/Makefile.am (libbison_a_SOURCES): Remove subpipe.h and
subpipe.c.
* po/POTFILES.in (lib/subpipe.c): Remove.
* src/files.c (compute_output_file_names): Update invocations
of output_file_name_check.
(output_file_name_check): In the case that the grammar file
would be overwritten, use complain instead of fatal, but replace
the output file name with /dev/null. Use the /dev/null solution
for the case of two conflicting output files as well because it
seems safer in case Bison one day tries to open both files at
the same time.
* src/files.h (output_file_name_check): Update prototype.
* src/output.c (output_skeleton): Use create_pipe_bidi and
wait_subprocess. Assert that scan_skel completely drains the
pipe.
* src/scan-skel.l (at_directive_perform): Update
output_file_name_check invocation.
* tests/output.at (AT_CHECK_CONFLICTING_OUTPUT): Check that the
grammar file actually isn't overwritten.
(Conflicting output files: -o foo.y): Update expected output.
* tests/skeletons.at (Fatal errors but M4 continues producing
output): New test group.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add assert module.
* src/system.h (aver): Define as assert, and summarize the
discussion on this issue.

* HACKING (Administrivia): Make the git-merge-changelog notes more
helpful.
(Test suite): Don't say lalr1.cc is not exercised in the test suite.
(Release Procedure): Update for git and add numerous details that were
previously missing.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove Makefile.cfg and Makefile.maint.
* maint.mk (announcement): Don't list bison as a bootstrap tool so
that announcements don't claim we bootstrapped with whatever bison
happened to be in PATH. Add flex as a bootstrap tool.
* Makefile.maint: Remove, previously replaced by maint.mk.
* Makefile.cfg: Remove, and migrate settings to...
* cfg.mk: ... here for the sake of `make announcement'.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add announce-gen.
* README: Say GNU Bison instead of just Bison. Suggested by Karl
Berry.
* .cvsignore (.tarball-version, GNUmakefile, *~): Add.
* .gitignore (/.tarball-version, /GNUmakefile, /*~): Add.
* .prev-version: New.

revision.
* GNUmakefile: Remove, now copied from Gnulib.
* Makefile.am: Add code suggested by comments in
build-aux/git-version-gen.
(EXTRA_DIST): Remove GNUmakefile, handled by Gnulib. Add maint.mk,
.prev-version, and .version.
* NEWS (2.3b+): Rename to...
(?.?): ... this because we're dropping the "+" version naming scheme,
but, in general, we still can't be sure of our next release name.
* bootstrap: Add a quick hack to remove from .gitignore the
GNUmakefile entry that gnulib adds. We already have a /GNUmakefile
entry. This should really be fixed in gnulib instead.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnumakefile.
* configure.ac (AC_INIT): Set version name by invoking
build-aux/git-version-gen.
(AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove .version, now generated by

(BUILT_SOURCES): Remove revision.c.
(revision.c): Remove.
* src/getargs.c (version): Don't print revision after the VERSION.
* src/revision.h: Remove.
* bootstrap (insert_sorted_if_absent): Replace all uses with...
(insert_vc_ignore): ... this new function, which prepends `/' to all
.gitignore entries before passing them to insert_sorted_if_absent.
* bootstrap.conf (vc_ignore): Set to '.cvsignore .gitignore' so that
.cvsignore files are maintained even though Bison developers run
bootstrap while using Git.
* .cvsignore (*.patch *.log log patches applied): Remove, apparently
unneeded by Bison.
(gnulib): Add.
* .gitignore (/*.patch *.log log patches applied): Remove, broken and
unneeded. Reported by Eric Blake.

* m4/.gitignore, m4/.cvsignore (/environ.m4): Add.
(/setenv.m4): Add.
* src/output.c (output_skeleton): For the m4 invocation, pass -dV as
the first argument because it may become position-dependent, and unset
POSIXLY_CORRECT so Bison's skeletons have access to GNU M4 extensions.

strcasecmp has "unspecified behavior" outside the POSIX locale,
but it works fine in practice if at least one argument is ASCII,
as is the case in Bison.
