The cost of the file layer is large and makes benchmarks too coarse,
as seen for in following example, first with a file, then with a
literal string:
0. %skeleton "yacc.c" %define parse.lac full
1. %skeleton "yacc-v1.c" %define nofinal %define parse.lac full
2. %skeleton "yacc-v2.c" %define nofinal %define parse.lac full
3. %skeleton "yacc-v3.c" %define nofinal %define parse.lac full
4. %skeleton "yacc.c"
5. %skeleton "yacc-v1.c" %define nofinal
6. %skeleton "yacc-v2.c" %define nofinal
7. %skeleton "yacc-v3.c" %define nofinal

Of course, at the same time it is less realistic: most users read
files rather that strings, so it might lead to us to pay attention to
costs most people don't see.
* etc/bench.pl.in (&calc_input): Output into a file given as argument.
Output in C syntax.
(&generate_grammar_calc): Use it.
Simplify the grammar: remove operators we don't care about.
Rewrite the scanner to work on a char* instead of a FILE*.
* bench.pl
A primitive Perl script to run benches. Currently its only bench is
the usual calculator: it has a lightweight processing part (but not
null), so it is really emphasizing the cost of the whole parsing
(including scanning and I/O).
Set the envvars BISON and CC to the programs and flags you want to
use. They default to bison and gcc. To run a non-installed bison
from a tarball built in _build, I suggest the following.
BISON=_build/tests/bison CC='gcc -O2' ./bench.pl
(The _build/tests/bison wrapper makes sure that _build/src/bison will
use the tarballs' skeletons, not those already installed as a
straightforward use of _build/src/bison would.)
