Joel E. Denny abcc7c03cc Fix handling of yychar manipulation in user semantic actions.
The problem was that yacc.c didn't always update the yychar
translation afterwards.  However, other skeletons appear to be
fine.  glr.c appears to already translate yychar before every
use.  lalr1.cc does not define yychar and does not document its
replacement, yyla, for users.  It does provide yyclearin, but
that does not manipulate yyla and thus requires no translation
update.  In lalr1.java, yychar is out of scope during semantic
actions.
* NEWS (2.5): Document.
* data/yacc.c (YYBACKUP): Don't bother translating yychar into
yytoken here.
(yyparse, yypush_parse): Instead, translate before every use of
yytoken, and add comments explaining this approach.
* tests/actions.at (Destroying lookahead assigned by semantic
action): New test group checking that translation happens before
lookahead destructor calls at parser return.  Previously,
incorrect destructors were called.
* tests/conflicts.at (%error-verbose and consistent
errors): New test group checking that translation happens at
syntax error detection before the associated verbose error
message and the associated lookahead destructor calls.  While
the destructor call is fixed by this patch, the verbose error
message is currently incorrect due to another bug (see
comments in test group), so this is an expected failure for now.

This package contains the GNU Bison parser generator.

* Installation
** Build
See the file INSTALL for generic compilation and installation
instructions.

Bison requires GNU m4 1.4.6 or later.  See:

      ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.6.tar.gz

** Internationalization
Bison supports two catalogues: one for Bison itself (i.e., for the
maintainer-side parser generation), and one for the generated parsers
(i.e., for the user-side parser execution).  The requirements between
both differ: bison needs ngettext, the generated parsers do not.  To
simplify the build system, neither are installed if ngettext is not
supported, even if generated parsers could have been localized.  See
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2009-08/msg00006.html for
more details.

* Questions
See the section FAQ in the documentation (doc/bison.info) for
frequently asked questions.  The documentation is also available in
PDF and HTML, provided you have a recent version of Texinfo installed:
run "make pdf" or "make html".

If you have questions about using Bison and the documentation does
not answer them, please send mail to <help-bison@gnu.org>.

* Bug reports
Please send bug reports to <bug-bison@gnu.org>.  Please include the
version number from `bison --version', and a complete, self-contained
test case in each bug report.
