It seems that not many people read these logs: the error was
introduced in 2001 (3067fbef53),
* src/gram.c (grammar_dump): Fix the headers of the table: remove
duplicate display of "Ritem Range".
While at it, remove duplicate display of the rule number (and remove
an incorrect comment about it: these numbers _are_ equal).
* tests/sets.at (Reduced Grammar): Use useless rule, nterm and token
in the example.
See f8408562f8.
* tests/calc.at: Stop imitating the C API.
Prepare more tests to run in the future.
%verbose works as expected (what a surprise, it's unrelated to the
skeleton...).
* configure.ac (DCFLAGS): Define.
* tests/atlocal.in: Receive it.
* data/skeletons/d.m4 (api.parser.class): Remove spurious YY.
* data/skeletons/lalr1.d (yylex): Return an int instead of a
YYTokenType, so that we can use characters as tokens.
* examples/d/calc.y: Adjust.
* tests/local.at: Initial support for D.

Currently the caller must specify the ./ prefix to its command. Let's
avoid that: it will be nicer to read, make it easier to have a version
that works for Java and C/C++.
* tests/local.at (AT_PARSER_CHECK): Prefix the command with ./.
Adjust callers.
* tests/conflicts.at (AT_YYLEX_PROTOTYPE): Don't define it, leave that
task to AT_DATA_GRAMMAR.
But be honest: tell AT_BISON_OPTION_PUSHDEFS all the options we use.

The format is inconsistent. For instance most sections are
indented (including "Terminals unused in grammar" for instance), but
the sections "Terminals, with rules where they appear" and
"Nonterminals, with rules where they appear" are not. Let's indent
them. Also, these two sections try to wrap the output to avoid lines
too long. Yet we don't do that in the rest of the file, for instance
when listing the lookaheads of an item.
For instance in the case of Bison's parse-gram.output we go from:

version 3.3.2
style: minor fixes
NEWS: named constructors are preferable to symbol_type ctors
gram: fix handling of nterms in actions when some are unused
style: rename local variable
CI: update the ICC serial number for travis-ci.org
Since Bison 3.3, semantic values in rule actions (i.e., '$...') are
passed to the m4 backend as the symbol number. Unfortunately, when
there are unused symbols, the symbols are renumbered _after_ the
numbers were used in the rule actions. As a result, the evaluation of
the skeleton failed because it used non existing symbol numbers.
Which is the happy scenario: we could use numbers of other existing
symbols...
Reported by Balázs Scheidler.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2019-01/msg00044.html
Translating the rule actions after the symbol renumbering moves too
many parts in bison. Relying on the symbol identifiers is more
troublesome than it might first seem: some don't have an
identifier (tokens with only a literal string), some might have a
complex one (tokens with a literal string with characters special for
M4). Well, these are tokens, but nterms also have issues: "dummy"
nterms (for midrule actions) are named $@32 etc. which is risky for
M4.
Instead, let's simply give M4 the mapping between the old numbers and
the new ones. To avoid confusion between old and new numbers, always
emit pre-renumbering numbers as "orig NUM".
* data/README: Give details about "orig NUM".
* data/skeletons/bison.m4 (__b4_symbol, _b4_symbol): Resolve the
"orig NUM".
* src/output.c (prepare_symbol_definitions): Pass nterm_map to m4.
* src/reduce.h, src/reduce.c (nterm_map): Extract it from
nonterminals_reduce, to make it public.
(reduce_free): Free it.
* src/scan-code.l (handle_action_dollar): When referring to a nterm,
use "orig NUM".
* tests/reduce.at (Useless Parts): New, based Balázs Scheidler's
report.
A rule is a useless chain iff it's a chain (aka unit, or injection)
rule (i.e., the RHS has length 1), and it's useless (it has no used
defined semantic action).
* src/gram.h, src/gram.c (rule_useless_chain_p): New.
(grammar_dump): Report useless chain rules.
* tests/sets.at: Check the traces.

version 3.3.1
yacc: issue warnings, not errors, for Bison extensions
style: formatting changes in NEWS and complain.c
tests: don't depend on the user's definition of SHELL
* src/gram.c (grammar_dump): Print the effective number first instead
of last. And fix it (remove the incorrect "+1").
Use t/f for Booleans.
* src/reduce.c: When asked, always print the reduced grammar, even if
there was nothing useless.
* tests/sets.at (Reduced Grammar): Check that.
It is inconvenient that we also generate the output files when we
update the grammar file, and it's somewhat unexpected. Let's not do
that.
* src/main.c (main): Skip generation when --update is passed.
* src/getargs.c (usage): Update the help message.
* doc/bison.texi (Bison Options): Likewise.
* tests/input.at: Check that we don't generate the output.
After all, this is clearly harmless.
* src/muscle-tab.c (muscle_percent_define_insert): Let equal
definitions of a %define variable be only a warning.
Adjust test cases.
* tests/input.at ("%define" backward compatibility): Don't define
twice "api.namespace", so that we don't get an error, which stops the
process too soon to see an error about the value given to
'lr.keep-unreachable-state'.
Don't repeat the name of the warning in the sub messages. E.g.,
remove the second "[-Wother]" in the following message
foo.y:2.1-27: warning: %define variable 'parse.error' redefined [-Wother]
%define parse.error verbose
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
foo.y:1.1-27: previous definition [-Wother]
%define parse.error verbose
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* src/complain.c (error_message): Don't print the warning type when
it's indented.
Adjust test cases.

aux/parser-internal.h:429:12: error: 'syntax_error' has no out-of-line virtual
method definitions; its vtable will be emitted in every translation unit
[-Werror,-Wweak-vtables]
struct syntax_error : std::runtime_error
To avoid this warning, we need syntax_error to have a virtual function
defined in a compilation unit. Let it be the destructor. To comply
with C++98, this dtor should be 'throw()'. Merely making YY_NOEXCEPT
be 'throw()' in C++98 triggers
errors (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2019-01/msg00022.html),
so let's introduce YY_NOTHROW and flag only ~syntax_error with it.
Also, since we now have an explicit dtor, we need to provide an copy
ctor.
* configure.ac (warn_cxx): Add -Wweak-vtables.
* data/skeletons/c++.m4 (YY_NOTHROW): New.
(syntax_error): Declare the dtor, and define the copy ctor.
* data/skeletons/glr.cc, data/skeletons/lalr1.cc (~syntax_error):
Define.
We should use -ffixit and --update to clean files with duplicate
directives. And we should complain only once about duplicate obsolete
directives: keep only the "duplicate" warning. Let's start with %yacc.
For instance on:
%fixed-output_files
%fixed-output-files
%yacc

running with --update.
Free uniqstrs after the fixits, since the latter use the former.

Clang does not like this:
template <typename D>
struct basic_symbol : D
{
basic_symbol();
};
struct by_type {};
struct symbol_type : basic_symbol<by_type>
{
symbol_type(){}
};
It gives:
$ clang++-mp-7.0 -Wundefined-func-template foo.cc -c
foo.cc:11:3: warning: instantiation of function 'basic_symbol<by_type>::basic_symbol'
required here, but no definition is available [-Wundefined-func-template]
symbol_type(){}

foo.cc:4:3: note: forward declaration of template entity is here
basic_symbol();
^
foo.cc:11:3: note: add an explicit instantiation declaration to suppress this warning
if 'basic_symbol<by_type>::basic_symbol' is explicitly instantiated in
another translation unit
symbol_type(){}
^
1 warning generated.
The same applies for the basic_symbol's destructor and `clear()`.
* configure.ac (warn_cxx): Add -Wundefined-func-template.
This triggered one failure in the test suite:
* tests/headers.at (Sane headers): here, where we check that we can
compile the generated headers in other compilation units than the
parser's.
Add a variant type to make sure that basic_symbol and symbol_type are
properly generated in this case.
* data/skeletons/c++.m4 (basic_symbol): Inline the definitions of the
destructor and of `clear` in the class definition.
Avoid duplicate warnings about %error-verbose, once for deprecation,
another for duplicate. Keep only the duplicate warning for the second
occurrence of %error-verbose.
This will help removal fixits.
* src/scan-gram.l (%error-verbose): Return as a PERCENT_ERROR_VERBOSE
token.
* src/parse-gram.y (do_error_verbose): New.
Use it.
* src/muscle-tab.c (muscle_percent_variable_update): Handle pseudo
variables such as %error-verbose.
* src/parse-gram.y: Use the location of the whole definition to record
the location of a %define variable, instead of just the name of the
variable.
Adjust tests.
Currently the diagnostics for %name-prefix are not precise enough. In
particular, they does not show that braces must be used instead of
quotes.
Before:
foo.y:3.1-14: warning: deprecated directive, use '%define api.prefix' [-Wdeprecated]
%name-prefix = "foo"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After:
foo.y:3.1-20: warning: deprecated directive, use '%define api.prefix {foo}' [-Wdeprecated]
%name-prefix = "foo"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To do this we need the value passed to %name-prefix, so move the
warning from the scanner to the parser.
Accuracy will be very important for the forthcoming changes.
* src/parse-gram.y (do_name_prefix): New.
(PERCENT_NAME_PREFIX): Have a semantic value: the raw source, with
possibly underscores, equal sign, and spaces. This is used to provide
a more accurate message. It does not take comments into account,
but...
* src/scan-gram.l (%name-prefix): Delegate the warnings to the parser.
* tests/headers.at, tests/input.at: Adjust expectations.
