Akim Demaille 26aef31552 examples: beware of portability issues with readline
On OpenBSD 6.5, the prompt is repeated, but not the actual command
line...  Don't try to cope with that.

bistromathic - all the bells and whistles

This example demonstrates best practices when using Bison.

  • Its hand-written scanner tracks locations.
  • Its interface is pure.
  • It uses the error token to get error recovery.
  • Its interface is "incremental", well suited for interaction: it uses the push-parser API to feed the parser with the incoming tokens.
  • It features an interactive command line with completion based on the parser state, based on yyexpected_tokens.
  • It uses Bison's standard catalogue for internationalization of generated messages.
  • It uses a custom syntax error with location, lookahead correction and token internationalization.
  • It supports debug traces with semantic values.
  • It uses named references instead of the traditional $1, $2, etc.
