Joel E. Denny 16dc6a9ebf Remove quotes from variables names in %define directives and from
qualifiers in %code directives, and restrict the characters that are
allowed in them to M4-friendly ones.  For %define, continue to support
the quoted form as a deprecated feature.  Discussed starting at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2007-01/msg00023.html>.
* NEWS (2.3a+): Add entry for the change to %define.  Update entry for
%code.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Prologue Alternatives): Update.
(Bison Declaration Summary): In %defines entry, update mention of
`%code requires' and `%code provides'.
(C++ Location Values): Update %define uses.
(Calc++ Parser Interface): Likewise.
(Calc++ Parser): Likewise, and update `%code requires' uses.
(Bison Symbols): Update %code documentation.
* src/parse-gram.y (prologue_declaration): For %define variables, use
`variable' instead of `STRING'.
(grammar_declaration): For %code qualifiers, use `ID' instead of
`STRING'.
(variable): New nonterminal that takes an `ID' or a `STRING'.
* tests/actions.at (_AT_CHECK_PRINTER_AND_DESTRUCTOR): Update %code
and %define uses.
* tests/calc.at (_AT_DATA_CALC_Y): Update %define use.

This directory contains the Bison parser generator.

See the file INSTALL for generic compilation and installation instructions.
See the file doc/FAQ for frequently asked questions.

Bison requires GNU m4 1.4.3 or later.  See:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.3.tar.gz

Bison can work with pre-1.4.3 distributions of GNU m4 if they are
sufficiently patched, but if you encounter a bug with an older
distribution and report a bug we will probably suggest that you
upgrade to 1.4.3 as the first step in trying to fix it.

Please send bug reports to <bug-bison@gnu.org>.  Please include the
version number from `bison --version', and a complete, self-contained
test case in each bug report.

If you have questions about using Bison and the documentation does
not answer them, please send mail to <help-bison@gnu.org>.
