||
----------
|
||
|
||
Changes in version 1.29d:
|
||
|
||
* `--defines' and `--graph' have now an optionnal argument which is the
|
||
output file name. `-d' and `-g' do not change, they do not take any
|
||
argument.
|
||
|
||
* `%source_extension' and `%header_extension' are removed, failed
|
||
experiment.
|
||
|
||
* The test suite is more portable.
|
||
|
||
* Better portability.
|
||
|
||
Changes in version 1.29:
|
||
|
||
* The output file does not define const, as this caused problems when used
|
||
with common autoconfiguration schemes. If you still use ancient compilers
|
||
that lack const, compile with the equivalent of the C compiler option
|
||
`-Dconst='. autoconf's AC_C_CONST macro provides one way to do this.
|
||
|
||
* Added `-g' and `--graph'.
|
||
|
||
* The Bison manual is now distributed under the terms of the GNU FDL.
|
||
|
||
* The input and the output files has automatically a similar extension.
|
||
|
||
* Russian translation added.
|
||
|
||
* NLS support updated; should hopefully be less troublesome.
|
||
|
||
* Added the old Bison reference card.
|
||
|
||
* Added `--locations' and `%locations'.
|
||
|
||
* Added `-S' and `--skeleton'.
|
||
|
||
* `%raw', `-r', `--raw' is disabled.
|
||
|
||
* Special characters are escaped when output. This solves the problems
|
||
of the #line lines with path names including backslashes.
|
||
|
||
* New directives.
|
||
`%yacc', `%fixed_output_files', `%defines', `%no_parser', `%verbose',
|
||
`%debug', `%source_extension' and `%header_extension'.
|
||
|
||
Changes in version 1.28:
|
||
|
||
* Should compile better now with K&R compilers.
|
||
|
||
* Added NLS.
|
||
|
||
* Fixed a problem with escaping the double quote character.
|
||
|
||
* There is now a FAQ.
|
||
|
||
Changes in version 1.27:
|
||
|
||
* The make rule which prevented bison.simple from being created on
|
||
some systems has been fixed.
|
||
|
||
Changes in version 1.26:
|
||
|
||
* Bison now uses automake.
|
||
|
||
* New mailing lists: <bug-bison@gnu.org> and <help-bison@gnu.org>.
|
||
|
||
* Token numbers now start at 257 as previously documented, not 258.
|
||
|
||
* Bison honors the TMPDIR environment variable.
|
||
|
||
* A couple of buffer overruns have been fixed.
|
||
|
||
* Problems when closing files should now be reported.
|
||
|
||
* Generated parsers should now work even on operating systems which do
|
||
not provide alloca().
|
||
|
||
Changes in version 1.25:
|
||
|
||
* Errors in the input grammar are not fatal; Bison keeps reading
|
||
the grammar file, and reports all the errors found in it.
|
||
|
||
* Tokens can now be specified as multiple-character strings: for
|
||
example, you could use "<=" for a token which looks like <=, instead
|
||
of chosing a name like LESSEQ.
|
||
|
||
* The %token_table declaration says to write a table of tokens (names
|
||
and numbers) into the parser file. The yylex function can use this
|
||
table to recognize multiple-character string tokens, or for other
|
||
purposes.
|
||
|
||
* The %no_lines declaration says not to generate any #line preprocessor
|
||
directives in the parser file.
|
||
|
||
* The %raw declaration says to use internal Bison token numbers, not
|
||
Yacc-compatible token numbers, when token names are defined as macros.
|
||
|
||
* The --no-parser option produces the parser tables without including
|
||
the parser engine; a project can now use its own parser engine.
|
||
The actions go into a separate file called NAME.act, in the form of
|
||
a switch statement body.
|
||
|
||
Changes in version 1.23:
|
||
|
||
The user can define YYPARSE_PARAM as the name of an argument to be
|
||
passed into yyparse. The argument should have type void *. It should
|
||
actually point to an object. Grammar actions can access the variable
|
||
by casting it to the proper pointer type.
|
||
|
||
Line numbers in output file corrected.
|
||
|
||
Changes in version 1.22:
|
||
|
||
--help option added.
|
||
|
||
Changes in version 1.20:
|
||
|
||
Output file does not redefine const for C++.
