I don't think it's fair to have yypstate_new, yypstate_delete,
yypush_parse and yypull_parse to have their own section, on par with
yyparse and yylex. Let them be in a single section about push
parsers. And show new/delete first.
* doc/bison.texi (Push Parser Interface): New.
Fuse the aforementioned sections into it.
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no longer valid, as for E2MANY (i) the user must generate the error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.
The shell grammar does not allow empty statements in then/else part of
an if, but examples/test failed to catch the syntax errors from the
script it ran. So exited with success anyway.
You would expect 'set -e' to suffice, but with bash 3.2 actually it
does not. As a matter of fact, I could find a way to have this behave
properly:
$ cat test.sh
set -e
cleanup ()
{
status=$?
echo "cleanup: $status"
exit $status
}
trap cleanup 0 1 2 13 15
. $1
s=$?
echo "test.sh: $s"
exit $s
$ cat bistro.test
if true; then
fi
$ /bin/sh ./test.sh ./bistro.test
./bistro.test: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
cleanup: 0
$ echo $?
0
Remove the set -e (or the trap), and tada, it works... So we have to
deal with the error by hand.
* examples/test ($exit): Replace with...
($status): this.
Preserve the exit status of the test case.
* examples/c/bistromathic/bistromathic.test: Fix syntax error.

The failing tests are using glr.cc only, which I don't understand, the
problem is rather in glr.c, so I would expect glr.c tests to also fail.

To write unit tests for their scanners, some users depended on
symbol_type::token():
Lexer lex("12345");
symbol_type t = lex.nextToken();
assert(t.token() == token::INTLIT);
assert(t.value.as<int>() == 12345);
But symbol_type::token() was removed in Bison 3.5 because it relied on
a conversion table. So users had to find other patterns, such as
assert(t.type_get() == by_type(token::INTLIT).type_get());
which relies on several private implementation details.
As part of transitioning from "token type" to "token kind", and making
this a public and documented interface, "by_type" was renamed
"by_kind" and "type_get()" was renamed as "kind()". The latter had
backward compatibility mechanisms, not the former.
In Bison 3.6 none of this should be used, but rather
assert(t.kind() == symbol_kind::S_INTLIT);
