Some of our targets use "bison --help", but they can't depend on
"bison" itself (to avoid additional requirements on the user), so
they used to call "make src/bison" in the commands. Then
concurrent builds may fail: one make might be aiming one of its
jobs at compiling src/bison, and another job at generating the man
page. If the latter is faster than the former, then we have two
makes that concurrently try to compile src/bison.
This might also be a more convincing explanation for the failure
described in the patch "build: fix paths".
* Makefile.am (SUFFIXES): Initialize.
* build-aux/move-if-change: New, symlink to gnulib's.
* build-aux/local.mk: Ship it.
* doc/common.x: Remove, merged into...
* doc/bison.x: here.
* doc/local.mk (doc/bison.help): New.
($(CROSS_OPTIONS_TEXI)): Depend on it.
Use src/bison.
(.x.1): Replace with...
(doc/bison.1): this explicit, simpler, target.
(common_dep): Remove, inlined where appropriate.
(SUFFIXES, PREPATH): Remove, unused.
* configure.ac (gl_PREFIXED_LIBOBJS): Don't rename it, rather,
change the value of...
(gl_LIBOBJS): this.
Adjust more variables.
* etc/prefix-gnulib-mk (prefix_assignment): Don't rename
gl_LIBOBJS.
(prefix): Also transform rules whose targets have slashes.
Use $prefix liberally.
Map @MKDIR_P@ to $(MKDIR_P).
Prefix directories that are mkdir'd.
When using $(top_builddir) inconsistently, Make (including GNU
Make) is sometimes confused. As a result it may want to build
lib/libbison.la and $(top_builddir)/lib/libbison.la (the same
file, different names) concurrently, which, amusingly enough,
might end with:
ranlib lib/libbison.a
ranlib lib/libbison.a
make[2]: *** [lib/libbison.a] Segmentation fault
on OS X.
* doc/local.mk, src/local.mk: Do not use $(top_builddir) when not
needed.
* src/reader.c (reader): Move %define front-end variable
defaults and checking into...
(prepare_percent_define_front_end_variables): ... this new
function.
* src/scan-gram.l (INITIAL): For consistency with string
literals, don't store open quote on character literal. It's
discarded before returning anyway.
(SC_ESCAPED_CHARACTER): Similarly, don't store close quote.
Make length test more readable, and make the character stored
for an empty literal more obvious while consistent with the
previous behavior.
* src/symtab.c, src/symtab.h: Rename USER_NUMBER_ALIAS to
USER_NUMBER_HAS_STRING_ALIAS throughout.
* src/symtab.c (symbol_make_alias): Remove comment from symtab.c
that is repeated in symtab.h. Improve argument names to make it
clear which side of the symbol-string alias pair is which.
(symbol_check_alias_consistency): Improve local variable names
for the same purpose.
* src/symtab.h (struct symbol): Make comments about aliases
clearer.
(symbol_make_alias): Improve comments and argument name.
* src/output.c (token_definitions_output): Update for rename to
USER_NUMBER_HAS_STRING_ALIAS and improve comments about aliases.

Reported by Alex Rozenman. This warning shows up with gcc-4.3.0
and later.
* src/scan-code.l: Add "%option noinput", which I cannot find in
the Flex manual, but which Flex has supported since at least as
far back as 2.5.4. However, if any of our developers still use
Flex 2.5.4, they'll need to stop configuring with
--enable-gcc-warnings because "%option noinput" didn't work
correctly until Flex 2.5.6.
* src/scan-gram.l: Likewise.
* src/scan-skel.l: Likewise.

<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2009-04/msg00083.html>.
* tests/existing.at (_AT_TEST_EXISTING_GRAMMAR): Do not
complicate the code by distinguishing between a missing value
and an empty string value for an optional argument. This fix is
allowed by the similar fix in AT_TEST_TABLES_AND_PARSE below.
* tests/local.at (_AT_TEST_TABLES_AND_PARSE): Merge into...
(AT_TEST_TABLES_AND_PARSE): ... this now that the special
arguments are not needed because of the following changes.
Fix stale comments.
Bison developers should use GNU M4 and should not use
POSIXLY_CORRECT when building the test suite, so do not
complicate the code by avoiding $10 and above.
Do not quote an empty string value for an optional argument, and
do not distinguish between a missing value and an empty string
value.
