Akim Demaille 6deb44470e Since we now use obstacks, more % directives can be enabled.
* src/lex.c (percent_table): Also accept `%yacc',
`%fixed_output_files', `%defines', `%no_parser', `%verbose', and
`%debug'.
Handle the actions for `%semantic_parser' and `%pure_parser' here,
instead of returning a token.
* src/lex.h (SEMANTIC_PARSER, PURE_PARSER): Remove, unused.
* src/reader.c (read_declarations): Adjust.
* src/files.c (open_files): Don't call `compute_base_names', don't
compute `attrsfile' since they depend upon data which might be
*in* the input file now.
(output_files): Do it here.
* src/output.c (output_headers): Document the fact that this patch
introduces a guaranteed SEGV for semantic parsers.
* doc/bison.texinfo: Document them.
* tests/suite.at: Exercise these %options.

Bison News
----------
Changes in version 1.28a:
* Russian translation added.
* NLS support updated; should hopefully be less troublesome.
* Added the old Bison reference card.
* Added `--locations' and `%locations'.
* New directives.
`%yacc', `%fixed_output_files', `%defines', `%no_parser', `%verbose', and
`%debug'.
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++.
