Bison supports a union tag, for obscure reasons. But it does a poor job at it, especially since Bison 3.0. Reported by Stephen Cameron and Tobias Frost. It did not ensure that the name was not given several times. An easy way to do this is to make the %union tag be handled as a %define variable, as they cannot be defined several times. Since Bison 3.0, the synclines were wrongly placed, resulting in invalid code. Addressing this issue, because of the way the union tag was stored (as a code muscle), would have been tedious. Unless we rather define the %union tag as a %percent variable, whose synclines are easier to manipulate. So replace the b4_union_name muscle by the api.value.union.name %define variable, document, and check. * data/bison.m4: Make sure that api.value.union.name has a keyword value. * data/c++.m4: Make sure that api.value.union.name is not defined. * data/c.m4 (b4_union_name): No longer use it, use api.value.union.name. * doc/bison.texi (%define Summary): Document it. * src/parse-gram.y (union_name): No longer define b4_uion_name, but api.value.union.name. * tests/input.at (Redefined %union name): New. * tests/synclines.at (%union name syncline): New. * tests/types.at: Check named %unions.
-*- outline -*- This directory contains data needed by Bison. * Skeletons Bison skeletons: the general shapes of the different parser kinds, that are specialized for specific grammars by the bison program. Currently, the supported skeletons are: - yacc.c It used to be named bison.simple: it corresponds to C Yacc compatible LALR(1) parsers. - lalr1.cc Produces a C++ parser class. - lalr1.java Produces a Java parser class. - glr.c A Generalized LR C parser based on Bison's LALR(1) tables. - glr.cc A Generalized LR C++ parser. Actually a C++ wrapper around glr.c. These skeletons are the only ones supported by the Bison team. Because the interface between skeletons and the bison program is not finished, *we are not bound to it*. In particular, Bison is not mature enough for us to consider that "foreign skeletons" are supported. * m4sugar This directory contains M4sugar, sort of an extended library for M4, which is used by Bison to instantiate the skeletons. * xslt This directory contains XSLT programs that transform Bison's XML output into various formats. - bison.xsl A library of routines used by the other XSLT programs. - xml2dot.xsl Conversion into GraphViz's dot format. - xml2text.xsl Conversion into text. - xml2xhtml.xsl Conversion into XHTML. ----- Copyright (C) 2002, 2008-2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
