Modern C++ (i.e., C++11 and later) introduced "move only" types: types such as std::unique_ptr<T> that can never be duplicated. They must never be copied (by assignments and constructors), they must be "moved". The implementation of lalr1.cc used to copy symbols (including their semantic values). This commit ensures that values are only moved in modern C++, yet remain compatible with C++98/C++03. Suggested by Frank Heckenbach, who provided a full implementation on top of C++17's std::variant. See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2018-03/msg00002.html, and https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2018-04/msg00002.html. Symbols (terminal/non terminal) are handled by several functions that used to take const-refs, which resulted eventually in a copy pushed on the stack. With modern C++ (C++11 and later) the callers must use std::move, and the callees must take their arguments as rvalue refs (foo&&). In order to avoid duplicating these functions to support both legacy C++ and modern C++, let's introduce macros (YY_MOVE, YY_RVREF, etc.) that rely on copy-semantics for C++98/03, and move-semantics for modern C++. That's easy for inner types, when the parser's functions pass arguments to each other. Functions facing the user (make_NUMBER, make_STRING, etc.) should support both rvalue-refs (for instance to support move-only types: make_INT (std::make_unique<int> (1))), and lvalue-refs (so that we can pass a variable: make_INT (my_int)). To avoid the multiplication of the signatures (there is also the location), let's take the argument by value. See: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2018-09/msg00024.html. * data/c++.m4 (b4_cxx_portability): New. (basic_symbol): In C++11, replace copy-ctors with move-ctors. In C++11, replace copies with moves. * data/lalr1.cc (stack_symbol_type, yypush_): Likewise. Use YY_MOVE to avoid useless copies. * data/variant.hh (variant): Support move-semantics. (make_SYMBOL): In C++11, in order to support both read-only lvalues, and rvalues, take the argument as a copy. * data/stack.hh (yypush_): Use rvalue-refs in C++11. * tests/c++.at: Use move semantics. * tests/headers.at: Adjust to the new macros (YY_MOVE, etc.). * configure.ac (CXX98_CXXFLAGS, CXX11_CXXFLAGS, CXX14_CXXFLAGS) (CXX17_CXXFLAGS, ENABLE_CXX11): New. * tests/atlocal.in: Receive them. * examples/variant.yy: Don't define things in std. * examples/variant-11.test, examples/variant-11.yy: New. Check the support of move-only types. * examples/README, examples/local.mk: Adjust.
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. ----- Local Variables: mode: outline End: Copyright (C) 2002, 2008-2015, 2018 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
