Currently when a push parser finishes its parsing (i.e., it did not
return YYPUSH_MORE), it also clears its state. It is therefore
impossible to see if it had parse errors.
In the context of autocompletion, because error recovery might have
fired, the parser is actually already in a different state. For
instance on `(1 + + <TAB>` in the bistromathic, because there's a
`exp: "(" error ")"` recovery rule, `1 + +` tokens have already been
popped, replaced by `error`, and autocompletions think we are ready
for the closing ")". So here, we would like to see if there was a
syntax error, yet `yynerrs` was cleared.
In the case of a successful parse, we still have a problem: if error
recovery succeeded, we won't know it, since, again, `yynerrs` is
clearer.
It seems much more natural to leave the parser state available for
analysis when there is a failure.
To reuse the parser, we should either:
1. provide an explicit means to reinitialize a parser state for future
parses.
2. automatically reset the parser state when it is used in a new
parse.
Option 2 requires to check whether we need to reinitialize the parser
each time we call `yypush_parse`, i.e., each time we give a new token.
This seems expensive compared to Option 1, but benchmarks revealed no
difference. Option 1 is incompatible with the documentation
("After `yypush_parse` returns a status other than `YYPUSH_MORE`, the
parser instance `yyps` may be reused for a new parse.").
So Option 2 wins, reusing the private `yynew` member to record that a
parse was finished, and therefore that the state must reset in the
next call to `yypull_parse`.
While at it, this implementation now reuses the previously enlarged
stacks from one parse to another.
* data/skeletons/yacc.c (yypstate_new): Set up the stacks in their
initial configurations (setting their bottom to the stack array), and
use yypstate_clear to reset them (moving their top to their bottom).
(yypstate_delete): Adjust.
(yypush_parse): At the beginning, clear yypstate if needed, and at the
end, record when yypstate needs to be clearer.
* examples/c/bistromathic/parse.y (expected_tokens): Do not propose
autocompletion when there are parse errors.
* examples/c/bistromathic/bistromathic.test: Check that case.
The previous commit ("yacc.c: declare and initialize and the same
time") made b4_initialize_parser_state_variables useless.
* data/skeletons/yacc.c (b4_initialize_parser_state_variables): Inline
into...
(yypstate_clear): here.
In order to factor the code of push and pull parsers, the declaration
of the parser's state variable was common (being local variable in
pull parsers, and struct members in push parsers). This result in
rather poor style in pull parser, with first variable declarations,
and then their initializations.
The initialization is about to differ between push and pull parsers,
so it is no longer worth keeping both cases together.
* data/skeletons/yacc.c (b4_declare_parser_state_variables): Accept an
argument, and when it is set, initialize the variables.
Adjust dependencies.
Currently yypull_parse takes a yypstate* as argument, and accepts it
to be NULL. This does not seem to make a lot of sense: rather it is
its callers that should do that.
I believe this is historical: yypull_parse was introduced
first (c3d503425f), with yyparse being a
macro. So yyparse could hardly deal with memory allocation properly.
In 7172e23e8f that yyparse was turned
into a genuine function. At that point, it should have allocated its
own yypstate*, which would have left yypull_parse deal with only one
single non-null ypstate* argument.
Fortunately, it is nowhere documented that it is valid to pass NULL to
yypull_parse. It is now forbidden.
* data/skeletons/yacc.c (yypull_parse): Don't allocate a yypstate.
Needs a location to issue the error message.
(yyparse): Allocate the yypstate.
* README-hacking.md (Working from the Repository): Make it first to

This was a hack to make it easier for people to migrate from yacc.c to
lalr1.cc and from glr.c to glr.cc: when set, YYSTYPE and YYLTYPE were
`#defined`. It was never documented (just mentioned in NEWS for Bison
2.2, 2006-05-19), but was used to simplify the test suite. Stop that:
adjust the test suite to the skeletons, not the converse.
In C++ use yy::parser::semantic_type, yy::parser::location_type, and
yy::parser::token::MY_TOKEN, instead of YYSTYPE, YYLTYPE and MY_TOKEN.

glr.cc: don't leak glr.c/glr.cc scaffolding to the user

Until we have a decent reimplementation of glr.cc, we have to use
tricks to shoehorn C++ symbols to the C engine of glr.c. Some of them
are done via #define. Unfortunately in Bison 3.6 some of these we
done in the header file, which broke valid user code.

Teaches bison about a new command line option, --file-prefix-map OLD=NEW
(based on the -ffile-prefix-map option from GCC) which causes it to
replace and file path of OLD in the text of the output file with NEW,
mainly for header guards and comments. The primary use of this is to
make builds reproducible with different input paths, and in particular
the debugging information produced when the source code is compiled. For
example, a distro may know that the bison source code will be located at
"/usr/src/bison" and thus can generate bison files that are reproducible
with the following command:
bison --output=/build/bison/parse.c -d --file-prefix-map=/build/bison/=/usr/src/bison/ parse.y
Importantly, this will change the header guards and #line directives
from:
#ifndef YY_BUILD_BISON_PARSE_H
#line 100 "/build/bison/parse.h"
to
#ifndef YY_USR_SRC_BISON_PARSE_H
#line 100 "/usr/src/bison/parse.h"
which is reproducible.

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.
