On AIX 7.2, when invoking "exit 77", we actually exit with 127.  The
"cleanup" function, called via trap, received an incorrect exit
status, something described in Autoconf's doc.
Reported by Bruno Haible.

* examples/c/reccalc/reccalc.test: Use it, to ensure $? is set to 77
when the trap is called.

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.
