After having spent quite some time on cleaning the handling of symbol
declarations in the grammar files, I believe we should keep it.
It looks like it's a duplicate of %type, but it is not. While POSIX
Yacc requires %type to apply only to nonterminal symbols, it appears
that both byacc and bison accept it for tokens too. And some
experienced users do actually expect this feature to group
symbols (terminal or not) by type ("On the other hand, it is generally
more useful IMHO to group terminals and non-terminals with the same
type tag together",
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2018-10/msg00000.html).
Even Bison's own parser does this today (see CHAR).
Basically reverts 7928c3e6fb.
* src/scan-gram.l (%nterm): Dedeprecate, but issue a Wyacc warning.
* tests/input.at: Adjust expectations.
(Yacc warnings on symbols): New.
* src/symtab.c (symbol_class_set): Fix error introduced in
20b0746793.
It is unfortunate that %error_verbose was properly diagnosed as
obsoleted by "%define parse.error verbose", but %error-verbose was
not.
* src/parse-gram.y (%error-verbose): Remove support.
* src/scan-gram.l: Do it here instead, with a warning.
* tests/input.at (Deprecated directives): Check it.
* src/parse-gram.y (api.value.type): Set to union.
Replace occurrences of %union with explicit %types.
* src/scan-gram.l: Adjust yylval's field names.
(RETURN_VALUE): No longer needs the Field argument.
Use it more.
The purpose of this symbol was only to factor function calls. As a
result the actions were indeed simpler, but the grammar was somewhat
uselessly obfuscated. Get rid of this symbol, but introduce functions
to simplify dependencies.
There is no (intended) changes of behavior here.
* src/parse-gram.y (strip_braces, translate_code(
(translate_code_braceless): New.
(braceless): Remove, use "{...}" instead, and one of the previous
functions depending on the context.
(STRING, "%{...%}", EPILOGUE): Declare as <code>, instead of <chars>,
the difference between both is useless (well, I couldn't make sense of
it, even after having read the initial commit that introduced them).
(%union): Remove the now useless "chars" type.
Adjust the printers.
* src/scan-gram.l: Adjust.
Provide a means to dereference pointers when defining tags. One
example could be:
%code requires
{
typedef struct ListElementType
{
union value
{
int intVal;
float floatVal;
char* charptrVal;
} value;
struct ListElementType* next;
} ListElementType;
}
%union
{
ListElementType* list;
}
%token <list->value.charptrVal> STRING
%token <list->value.intVal> INTEGER
%token <list->value.floatVal> REAL
%type <list> ElementList LiteralType
* src/scan-code.l, src/scan-gram.l: Accept "->" in tags.
* tests/types.at: Add more test cases to cover this case.
* src/scan-gram.l: Remove the rule for simple tags: the "complex" case
subsumes it. It was more efficient, but duplicated the code for a
negligible benefit.
Provide a means to explicitly denote empty right-hand sides of rules:
instead of
exp: { ... }
allow
exp: %empty { ... }
Make sure that %empty is properly used.

* src/reader.h, src/reader.c (grammar_current_rule_empty_set): New.
* src/parse-gram.y (%empty): New token.
Use it.
* src/scan-gram.l (%empty): Scan it.
* src/reader.c (grammar_rule_check): Check that %empty is properly used.
* tests/actions.at (Invalid uses of %empty, Valid uses of %empty): New.
Unput was no longer used since a POSIX-compatiblity issue with Flex 2.5.31,
which has been adressed in newer versions of Flex. See this discussion:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2003-04/msg00029.html>
This partially reverts commit aa4180418f.
* src/scan-gram.l (unexpected_end): Here.
* tests/input.at: Adjust for new order of error reports.
* data/glr.c, src/graphviz.h, src/ielr.c, src/scan-gram.l,
* src/system.h, tests/actions.at, tests/glr-regression.at: Do not
use // comments.
Do not introduce variables after statements.
Provide "main" with a return value.
* origin/maint:
parser: accept #line NUM
m4: use a safer pattern to enable/disable output
tests: beware of gnulib's need for config.h
gnulib: update
yacc.c, glr.c: check and fix the display of locations
formatting changes
glr.c: remove stray macro

* origin/maint:
yacc.c: always initialize yylloc
scanner: issue a single error for groups of invalid characters
tests: formatting changes
doc: one of the fixes for an ambiguous grammar was ambiguous too
doc: fix the dangling else with precedence directives
doc: prefer "token" to TOKEN
doc: formatting changes
scanner: use explicit "ignore" statements
Conflicts:
src/scan-gram.l
* origin/maint:
maint: remove useless file
update files to ignore
remove useless include
use locale-indep. c_is* functions for parsing, not isspace, isprint etc
gnulib: update
--help: include a place to report translation issues
tests: style changes
tests: fix push-pull test
yacc.c: style changes
Conflicts:
src/system.h
* src/parse-gram.y: Include "c-ctype.h".
(add_param): Parse with c_isspace, not isspace.
* src/parse-gram.c: Likewise.
* src/scan-gram.l: Include c-ctype.h, not ctype.h.
(SC_ESCAPED_STRING,SC_ESCAPED_CHARACTER): Use c_isspace and c_isprint,
not ctype.h's locale-dependent functions.
Basically, revert ba60c39547a445dee3e07920931b4d7a81843868's move to
mbs* functions, which was prompted by -DGNULIB_POSIXCHECK. See
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2012-05/msg00052.html>
and following.

* src/parse-gram.c, src/parse-gram.y, src/scan-gram.l,
* src/symtab.c: s/mbs(r?chr)/str$1/g.

* cfg.mk: The documentation is an exception.
See <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2012-01/msg00120.html>.
Use quotearg as often as possible instead of leaving the choice of
the quotes to the translators. Use shorter messages. Factor similar
messages to a single format, to make localization easier.
* src/files.c, src/getargs.c, src/muscle-tab.c, src/reader.c
* src/scan-code.l, src/scan-gram.l, src/symtab.c:
Use quote() or quotearg_colon() on printf arguments instead of
quotes in the format string.
* data/bison.m4: Keep sync with the changes in muscle-tab.c.
* tests/skeletons.at, tests/input.at, tests/regression.at: Adjust
expected messages.

Updating to gnulib pulled in new quote and quotarg modules,
by which quoting is now done like 'this' rather than `this'.
That change induces many "make check" test failures. This change
adapts code and tests so that "make check" passes once again.
