        glr2.cc: don't publish move ctor to lalr1.cc
        These operators were introduced in "c++: add move assignments to the
        symbol type" (fdaedc780af0dd678a4f4fa3175a201a553be20a) for glr2.cc.

        glr2.cc: don't pass %parse-param to destroy
        I regret that %destructor and %printer give access to the %parse-param
        in lalr1.cc, since that prevents them from being implemented as a
        simple destructor and operator<<.  Let's not repeat the mistake in
        glr2.cc.  In addition, fixes a name conflict we have currently in
        tests 566 568 570 657:

             calc.cc:1395:85: error: declaration shadows a field of 'calc::parser' [-Werror,-Wshadow]
             void glr_state::destroy (char const* yymsg, calc::parser& yyparser, semantic_value *result, int *count, int *nerrs)
                                                                                                 ^

                 semantic_value *result;
                                 ^

        With this commit, the whole test suite passes for glr2.cc.

        * data/skeletons/glr2.cc (glr_state::destroy): Don't take the user
        arguments.

        * data/skeletons/glr2.cc: here.
        Prefer `using` to `typedef`, this is C++11.
        Use the type alias we introduced.

2021-09-12  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        glr2.cc: style: clarify control flow
        * data/skeletons/glr2.cc (yypreference): Be more functional-style.

2021-09-12  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        glr2.cc: move glr_stack and glr_state into the parser class
        In order to be able to link several glr2.cc parser together, we cannot
        have glr_stack and glr_state be in no namespace.  Putting them in the
        unnamed namespace is not doable, since we need to fwd declare them in
        the parser.  Putting them in the specified namespace is not enough
        either, since some users would like to be able to put several parsers
        in the same name, only differing by the class name.

        * data/skeletons/glr2.cc (glr_state, glr_stack): Move into yy::parser.

        glr2.cc: put semantic_option into an unnamed namespace
        If we link several glr2.cc parsers together, we get linking failures
        because of duplicate symbols.

        * data/skeletons/glr2.cc (semantic_option::indexIn)
        (semantic_option::next): Remove the useless overloads.

2021-09-12  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        glr2.cc: don't publish YY_EXCEPTIONS
        We don't need them in the header file.

        * data/skeletons/glr2.cc (YY_EXCEPTIONS): Define only in the
        implementation file.
        * tests/headers.at (Several Parsers): Also check glr2.cc.

2021-09-12  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        c++: demonstrate custom error messages in the examples
        Let's use c++/glr to demonstrate custom error messages in C++ (not
        just in glr2.cc).

        * examples/c++/glr/c++-types.yy (report_syntax_error): New.
        * examples/c++/glr/c++-types.test: Adjust.
        * examples/c/bistromathic/parse.y: Comment changes.

        Use it to generate the error messages.
        Add support for custom error messages.
        * tests/calc.at: Check support for custom error messages.

        glr2.cc: start the transition to using symbol_type
        Currently glr2.cc uses three variables/struct members to denote the
        symbols' kind (or state), value and location.  lalr1.cc has two types
        for "complete" symbols: symbol_type and stack_symbol_type.  Let's use
        that model in glr2.cc too.

        For a start use yyla (a symbol_type) to denote the lookahead, instead
        of the triple yytoken, yylval and yylloc.  This will make easier the
        introduction of the "context" subclass, used in parse.error=custom.

        It simplifies the code in several places.  For instance from:

            symbol_kind_type yytoken_current = this->yytoken;]b4_variant_if([[
            value_type yylval_current;
            ]b4_symbol_variant([this->yytoken],
                               [yylval_current], [move], [this->yylval])], [[
            value_type yylval_current = this->yylval;]])[]b4_locations_if([
            location_type yylloc_current = this->yylloc;])[

        to:

            symbol_type yyla_current = std::move (this->yyla);

        * data/skeletons/glr2.cc (yytoken, yylval, yylloc): Replace by...
        (yyla): this.
        Adjust all dependencies.
        (yyloc_default): Remove, unused.
        * tests/c++.at, tests/glr-regression.at, tests/types.at: C++11 is
        required for glr2.cc.
        Adjust to changes in glr2.cc.

2021-09-12  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        c++: add move assignments to the symbol type
        This will be used in glr2.cc, which requires C++11.

        * data/skeletons/c++.m4 (basic_symbol, by_kind): Add move assignment.

2021-09-12  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        c++: avoid using the obsolete names
        * data/skeletons/c++.m4: Don't define obsolete identifiers in the case
        of glr2.cc.  Let's not start with technical debt.
        * data/skeletons/glr2.cc, data/skeletons/lalr1.cc,
        * data/skeletons/variant.hh: Use token_kind_type, not token_type.
        * tests/c++.at, tests/local.at: Use value_type, not semantic_type.

        c++: beware of Visual C++ limitations
        Contrary to what commit d8cc6b073e2802d871a16dc62418a7eb62ed2216 "c++:
        shorten the assertions that check whether tokens are correct"
        believed, MS Visual C++'s preprocessor limitation is not on the input

        tests: don't postprocess stderr with sed
        On Solaris, sed throws away the NUL bytes from the stream, even in C
        locale.  So instead of postprocessing bison's stderr to neutralize

        m4: catch suspicions of unevaluated macros
        Check in m4's output if there are sequences such as m4_foo or b4_foo,
        which are probably resulting from incorrect m4 processing.

        It actually already is useful:

        - it caught a leaking b4_lac_if leaking from glr.c, where LAC is not
          supported, hence b4_lac_if is not defined.

        - it also caught references to location.hh in position.hh when
          location.hh does not exist.

        - while making "Code injection" robust to these new warnings (it is
          its very purpose to let b4_canary pass unevaluated), I saw that it
          did not check lalr1.d, and when adding lalr1.d, it revealed it did
          underquote ocurrences of token value types.

        yacc: fix push parser
        When a pstate is used for multiple successive parses, some state may
        leak from one run into the following one.  That was introduced in
        330552ea499ca474f65967160e9d4e50265f9631 "yacc.c: push: don't clear
        the parser state when accepting/rejecting".

        c++: issue a compile-time warning when #define YYSTYPE is used
        Using #define YYSTYPE has always been strongly discouraged in C++.
        Macros are dangerous and can result in subtle bugs.
        https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-bison/2020-12/msg00007.html

        Maybe some people are currently using #define YYSTYPE.  Instead of
        dropping support right now, first issue a warning.  Bison can "see" if
        YYDEBUG is defined (it could even be on the command line), only the
        compiler knows.  Unfortunately `#warning` is non-portable, and
        actually GCC even dies on it when `-pedantic` is enabled.  So we need
        to use `#pragma message`.  We must make it conditional as some
        compilers might not support it, but it doesn't matter if only _some_
        compilers emit the warning: it should be enough to catch the attention
        of the developers.

        * data/skeletons/c++.m4: Issue a warning when the user defined
        YYSTYPE.
        * tests/actions.at: Don't #define YYSTYPE.

        tables: fix handling for useless tokens
        In some rare conditions, the generated parser can be wrong when there
        are useless tokens.

        Reported by Balázs Scheidler.
        https://github.com/akimd/bison/issues/72

        Balázs managed to prove that the bug was introduced in

            commit af1c6f973a60a51c609903713ff8f7fce0887025
            Author: Theophile Ranquet <ranquet@lrde.epita.fr>

            tables: use bitsets for a performance boost

            Suggested by Yuri at
            <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2012-01/msg00000.html>.

            The improvement is marginal for most grammars, but notable for large
            grammars (e.g., PosgreSQL's postgre.y), and very large for the
            sample.y grammar submitted by Yuri in
            http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2012-01/msg00012.html.
            Measured with --trace=time -fsyntax-only.

            parser action tables    postgre.y     sample.y
            Before                 0,129 (44%)  37,095 (99%)
            After                  0,117 (42%)   5,046 (93%)

            * src/tables.c (pos): Replace this set of integer coded as an unsorted
            array of integers with...
            (pos_set): this bitset.

        which was implemented long ago, but that I installed only recently
        (March 2019), first published in v3.3.90.

        That patch introduces a bitset to represent a set of integers.  It
        managed negative integers by using a (fixed) base (the smallest
        integer to represent).  It avoided negative accesses into the bitset
        by ignoring integers smaller than the base, under the asumption that
        these cases correspond to useless tokens that are ignored anyway.
        While it turns out to be true for all the test cases in the test suite
        (!), Balázs' use case demonstrates that it is not always the case.

        So we need to be able to accept negative integers that are smaller
        than the current base.

        "Amusingly" enough, the aforementioned patch was visibly unsure about
        itself:

            /* Store PLACE into POS_SET.  PLACE might not belong to the set
               of possible values for instance with useless tokens.  It
               would be more satisfying to eliminate the need for this
               'if'.  */

        This commit needs several improvements in the future:
        - support from bitset for bit assignment and shifts
        - amortized resizing of pos_set
        - test cases

        * src/tables.c (pos_set_base, pos_set_dump, pos_set_set, pos_set_test):
        New.
        Use them instead of using bitset_set and bitset_test directly.

        cex: fix state-item pruning
        There were several bugs in pruning that would leave the state-item
        graph in an inconsistent state which could cause crashes later on:

        - Pruning now happens in one pass instead of two.

        - Disabled state-items no longer prune the state-items they transition
          to if that state-item has other states that transition to it.

        - State-items that transition to disabled state-items are always
          pruned even if they have productions.

        tables: avoid warnings and save bits
        The yydefgoto table uses -1 as an invalid for an impossible case (we
        never use yydefgoto[0], since it corresponds to the reduction to
        $accept, which never happens).  Since yydefgoto is a table of state
        numbers, this -1 forces a signed type uselessly, which (1) might
        trigger compiler warnings when storing a value from yydefgoto into a
        state number (nonnegative), and (2) wastes bits which might result in
        using a int16 where a uint8 suffices.

        glr2.cc: move parser::parse into glr_stack
        Currently we have two classes that actually should be fused together:
        parser and glr_stack.  Both carry part of the parsing: (i) parser
        contains `parse`, which is the top-level of the parsing process, it
        uses yygetToken, etc., and (ii) glr_stack takes care of all the
        details (dealing with the stack), and also calls yygetToken.

        However if we fuse them together, we would get a large parser class,
        in the header file.  So it is probably better to split this large
        class using the pimpl idiom.  But then it appears that glr_stack is
        very close from being the impl of parser.

        Let's improve this.

        For a start...

        * data/skeletons/glr2.cc (parser::parse): Move to...
        (glr_stack::parse): here.
        (parser::parse): Use it.

        * data/skeletons/glr2.cc: We no longer play dirty tricks with

        We now have genuine objects for locations, leave the initial action
        alone.

        Avoids the need to define YY_CAST in the header.
        * data/skeletons/glr2.cc: Fix calls to b4_shared_declarations: pass
        the type of file we are in.

2021-01-10  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        glr2.cc: rely on symbol kinds rather than token kinds
        Instead of tracking the lookahead with yychar, use yytoken.  This is
        consistent with lalr1.cc, saves us from calls to YYTRANSLATE (except
        when calling yylex), and makes it easier to migrate to using
        symbol_type.

        * data/skeletons/glr2.cc: Replace all uses of `int yychar` with
        `symbol_kind_type yytoken`.
        (yygetToken): Don't take/return the lookahead's token-kind and
        symbol-kind, just work directly on yystack's `yytoken` member.

        * tests/glr-regression.at (AT_PRINT_LOOKAHEAD_DECLARE)
        (AT_PRINT_LOOKAHEAD_DEFINE): New.
        Adjust to the fact that we have yytoken, not yychar, in glr2.cc.

        glr2.cc: use references to print symbols
        * data/skeletons/glr2.cc (b4_symbol_action): New, so that we use
        `yyval` and `yyloc` rather than the `yyvaluep` and `yylocationp`
        pointers.
        (yy_symbol_value_print_, yy_symbol_print_, yy_destroy_): Use
        references rather than pointers.
        Drop support for the undocumented, obsolete, `yyoutput` variable.
        Adjust callers.
        (glr_state::destroy): Don't use yy_symbol_print_ when we don't have a
        symbol.  Rather, write dedicated code.

        glr2.cc: fix memory leak

        d: add support for %printer
        Currently we display the addresses of the semantic values.  Instead,
        print the values.

        Add support for YY_USE across languages.

        * data/skeletons/c.m4, data/skeletons/d.m4 (b4_use): New.
        * data/skeletons/bison.m4 (b4_symbol_actions): Use b4_use to be
        portable to D.

        Add support for %printer, and use it.

        * data/skeletons/d.m4: Instead of duplicating what's already in
        c-like.m4, include it.
        (b4_symbol_action): New.
        Differs from the one in bison.m4 in that it uses yyval/yyloc instead
        of *yyvaluep and *yylocationp.

        * data/skeletons/lalr1.d (yy_symbol_print): Avoid calls to formatting,
        just call write directly.
        Use the %printer.
        * examples/d/calc/calc.y: Specify a printer.
        Enable traces when $YYDEBUG is set.
        * tests/calc.at: Fix the use of %printer with D.

        d: add internationalisation support
        The D parser implements this feature similarly to the C parser,
        by using Gettext. Functions gettext() and dgettext() are
        imported using extern(C). The internationalisation uses yysymbol_name
        to report the name of the SymbolKinds.

        glr2.cc: add support for variants
        (Bison) Variants are extremely picky, which makes them both
        annoying (lots of micro-details must be taken care of) and
        precious (all the micro-details must be taken care of, in particular
        object lifetime).

        So (i) each time a semantic value is stored, it must be stored in a
        place that exists, and (ii) each time a semantic value is discarded,
        its place must have been emptied.

        Example of (i)

            - new (&yys.value ()) value_type (s->value ());
            + {]b4_variant_if([[
            +   new (&yys.value ()) value_type ();
            +   ]b4_symbol_variant([yy_accessing_symbol (s->yylrState)],
            +                      [yys.value ()], [copy], [s->value ()])], [[
            +   new (&yys.value ()) value_type (s->value ());]])[
            + }

        Example of (ii)

              yyparser.yy_destroy_ ("Error: discarding",
            -                       yytoken, &yylval]b4_locations_if([, &yylloc])[);
            +                       yytoken, &yylval]b4_locations_if([, &yylloc])[);]b4_variant_if([[
            + // Value type destructor.
            + ]b4_symbol_variant([[YYTRANSLATE (this->yychar)]], [[yylval]], [[template destroy]])])[
              this->yychar = ]b4_namespace_ref[::]b4_parser_class[::token::]b4_symbol(empty, id)[;

        However, in some places we must not be "pure".  In particular:

            glr_stack_item (const glr_stack_item& other) YY_NOEXCEPT YY_NOTHROW
              : is_state_ (other.is_state_)
            {
              std::memcpy (raw_, other.raw_, union_size);
            }

        still must use memcpy, because the constructor would change pred, and
        it must not.  This constructor is used only when resizing the stack,
        in which case pred (which is relative) must not be "adjusted".

        The result works, but is messy.  Its verbosity comes from at least two
        factors:

        - we don't have support for complete symbols (binding kind, value and
          location), and we should at least try to have it.  That simplified
          lalr1.cc a lot.

        - I have not tried to be smart and use 'move' when possible.  As a
          consequence many places have 'copy' and then 'destroy'.  That kind
          of clean up can be done once everything appears to be solid.

        * data/skeletons/glr2.cc: Be more rigorous in object lifetime.
        In particular, don't forget to discard the lookahead when we're done
        with it.
        Call variant routines where needed.
        Deal with plenty of details.
        (b4_call_merger): Add support for variants.
        Use references in mergers, rather than pointers.

        * examples/c++/glr/c++-types.yy: Exercise variants.

        glr: strengthen the tests

        glr.c: log the execution of deferred actions
        Currently deferred reductions are not "verbose" at all: only immediate
        reductions are displayed in the YYDEBUG traces.  I don't understand
        why.  Besides it seems actually simpler the install the reduction
        traces right around the user action inside yyuserAction rather that
        around calls to yyuserAction.

        This only trouble is that yyuserAction does not know the stack number
        it works on, so we have to pass it.  And pass -1 when we are actually
        running on a temporary stack.

        The glr example, on "T(x) + y;" as input, adds these logs, which
        allow to see when the `<cast>` is built:

             Stack 0 Entering state 26
             Reduced stack 0 by rule 7 (line 108); action deferred.  Now in state 7.
             Stack 0 Entering state 7
             Reading a token
             Next token is token '+' (1.6: )
             Stack 1 Entering state 27
             Reduced stack 1 by rule 13 (line 123); action deferred.  Now in state 12.
             Stack 1 Entering state 12
             Next token is token '+' (1.6: )
             Stack 1 dies.
             Removing dead stacks.
             On stack 0, shifting token '+' (1.6: )
             Stack 0 now in state #14
            +Reducing stack -1 by rule 6 (line 107):
            +   $1 = token identifier (1.3: x)
            +-> $$ = nterm expr (1.3: x)
            +Reducing stack -1 by rule 7 (line 108):
            +   $1 = token typename (1.0: T)
            +   $2 = token '(' (1.2: )
            +   $3 = nterm expr (1.3: x)
            +   $4 = token ')' (1.4: )
            +-> $$ = nterm expr (1.0-3: <cast>(x,T))
             Returning to deterministic operation.

        * data/skeletons/glr.c (yyuserAction): Take yyk as a new argument.

        Symbols are richer than types, and in M4 it is my simpler (and more

        glr2.cc: get rid of the macros wrapping the lookahead
        In glr.c, the macros yychar, yylval and yylloc allow to deal with
        api.pure: sometimes they point to global variables (impure), sometimes
        they point to the member variables (pure).

        There's no room for globals in glr2.cc.  Besides, they map yychar to
        yyrawchar, yylval to yyval, etc. which obfuscates what is actually
        going on.

        was possible for the header and the implementation to not use the same
        versions of the macros.

        c++: rename semantic_type as value_type
        We always refer to the triplet "kind, value, location".  All of them
        are nouns, and we support api.value.type and api.location.type.  On
        this regard, "semantic_type" was a poor choice.  Make it "value_type".

        The test suite was not updated to use value_type, on purpose, to
        enforce backward compatibility.

        Valentin wanted each assignment to be explicit, hence copyFrom rather
        that operator=.  But in 0a82316e54fead8c3f1cf41d2213c868ab88f508
        (glr2.cc: example: use objects (not pointers) to represent the AST),
        in order to get real objects to be processed correctly, we had to
        introduce the assignment operator.  Afterward, we also introduced a
        full implementation of the copy-ctor, independent of copyFrom.  As a
        result, today the only invocation of copyFrom is from the assignment
        operator.  Simplify this.

2020-12-26  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        glr2.cc: fix warnings about uninitialized locations
        With GCC10, the CI shows tons of warnings such as
        (327. actions.at:374: testing Initial location: glr2.cc):

            input.cc: In member function 'YYRESULTTAG glr_stack::yyglrReduce(state_set_index, rule_num, bool)':
            input.cc:1357:11: error: '<anonymous>.glr_state::yyloc' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
             1357 |     yyloc = other.yyloc;
                  |     ~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~

        This is because we don't have the constructors for locations.  But we
        should have them!  That's only because of glr.cc that ctors were not
        enabled by default.  In glr2.cc, they should.

        That fixes all the warnings when Bison's locations are used.  However,
        when user-defined locations without constructor are used, we still
        have:

            550. calc.at:1409: testing Calculator glr2.cc %locations api.location.type={Span}  ...
            calc.cc: In member function 'YYRESULTTAG glr_stack::yyglrReduce(state_set_index, rule_num, bool)':
            calc.cc:1261:11: error: '<anonymous>.glr_state::yyloc' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
             1261 |     yyloc = other.yyloc;
                  |     ~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~

        To address this case, we need glr_state to explicily initialize its
        yyloc member.

        * data/skeletons/glr2.cc: Use genuine objects, with ctors, for position
        and location.
        (glr_state): Explicitly initialize yyloc in the constructors.

2020-12-25  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        glr2.cc: provide glr_state with a genuine copy-constructor
        The copy constructor was (lazily) implemented by a call to copyFrom.
        Unfortunately copyFrom reads yyresolved from the destination (and
        source), and in the case of the copy-ctor this is random garbagge,
        which UBSAN catches:

            glr-regr2a.cc:1072:10: runtime error: load of value 7, which is not a valid value for type 'bool'

        Rather than defining yyresolved before calling copyFrom, let's just
        provide a genuine cpy-ctor for glr_state.

        * data/skeletons/glr2.cc (glr_state::glr_state): Implement properly.

2020-12-25  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        glr2.cc: beware of self-assignment
        In yycompressStack:

            while (yyr != YY_NULLPTR)
              {
                nextFreeItem->check_ ();
                yyr->check_();
                nextFreeItem->setState(*yyr);
                glr_state& nextFreeState = nextFreeItem->getState();
                yyr = yyr->pred();
                nextFreeState.setPred(&(nextFreeItem - 1)->getState());
                setFirstTop(&nextFreeState);
                ++nextFreeItem;
              }

        it is possible that nextFreeItem and yyr are actually the same state.
        In which case `nextFreeItem->setState(*yyr)` does really bad things.

        self-assignment.

        glr2.cc: call the destructor in a way that complies with clang
            examples/c++/glr/c++-types.cc:721:24: error:
              expected the class name after '~' to name a destructor
            yysval.YYSTYPE::~semantic_type ();
                            ^

        Using a local typedef, for some reaon, result in clang complaining
        about a useless local typedef.  Since anyway we don't want to keep on
        using YYSTYPE and YYLTYPE, it is time to introduce proper typedefs to
        reach these guys.  And to be slightly in advance of the other
        skeletons: use value_type, not semantic_type.  This is much more
        consistent with our use of the (kind, value, location) triplet.

        (glr_state::location_type): New.

        glr2.cc: example: use objects (not pointers) to represent the AST
        Currently we are using pointers.  The whole point of
        glr2.cc (vs. glr.cc) is precisely to allow genuine C++ objects to be
        semantic values.  Let's make that work.

        yysval.
        (glr_state): Add copy-ctor, assignment and dtor.

        glr2.cc: fix GLR stack expansion
        When expanding the GLR stack, none of the pointers were updated to

        glr2.cc: fix calling conventions for yyexpandGLRStackIfNeeded
        This test fails:

        748: Incorrect lookahead during nondeterministic GLR: glr2.cc

        It consumes lots of stack space, so at some point we need to expand
        it.  Because of Boolean logic mistakes, we then claim
        memory-exhausted (first error).  Hence we jump to cleaning the
        stack (popall_), calling all the destructors, and at some point we
        crash with heap-use-after-free (second error).

        This commit fixes the first error.  Unfortunately, even though we now
        do expand the stack, we crash again with (another)
        heap-use-after-free, not addressed here.

        Eventually, we should make sure popall_() properly works.

        * data/skeletons/glr2.cc (yyexpandGLRStackIfNeeded): Return true iff
        success (i.e., memory not exhausted).

        skeletons: better comments for some tables

            +/* YYR2[RULE-NUM] -- Number of symbols on the right-hand side of rule RULE-NUM.  */

        I don't remember why this indentation was added (in
        0991e29b75f192570b6fac1ba23657ab4f3509ee), but it seems wrong,
        at least for yacc.c.  I suspect this was done with lalr1.cc (where
        this is embeded in the class definition, so it should be indented),
        but today lalr1.cc uses other routines to output these comments.

        glr2.cc: fix glr_stack_item::setState
        A glr_stack_item has "raw" memory to store either a glr_state or a
        semantic_option.  glr_stack_item::setState stores a state using a copy
        assignment.  However, this is more like a construction: we are
        starting from "raw" memory, so use the placement new operator instead.
        While it probably makes no difference when parse.assert is disabled,
        it does make one when it is: the constructor properly initialize the
        magic number, the assignment does not.  So without these changes, the
        next commit (which stores genuine objects in semantic values) fails
        tests 712 and 730 because of incorrect magic numbers.

        * data/skeletons/glr2.cc (glr_stack_item::setState): Build the state,
        don't just copy it.

        glr2.cc: make the example more C++
        Currently the example really looks like C.  Instead of a union of

        glr2.cc: make yyparse a member function
        Amusingly enough, glr2.cc still had its core function, yyparse, being
        a free function instead of a member function.

        * data/skeletons/glr2.cc (yyparse): Remove this free function called
        from yyparser::parse.  Inline its body into...
        (yyparser::parse): this member function.
        This requires moving a bit the yychar, etc. macros.
        Access to token can be simplified (the
        b4_namespace_ref::b4_parser_class prefix is no longer needed).

        glr2.cc: fix pointer arithmethics
        A glr_state keeps tracks of its predecessor using an offset relative
        to itself (i.e., pointer subtraction).  Unfortunately we sometimes
        have to compute offsets for pointers that live in different
        containers, in particular in yyfillin.  In that case there is no
        reason for the distance between the two objects to be a multiple of
        the object size (0x40 on my machine), and the resulting ptrdiff_t may
        be "wrong", i.e., it does allow to recover one from the other.  We
        cannot use "typed" pointer arithmetics here, the Euclidean division
        has it wrong.  So use "plain" char* pointers.

        Fixes 718 (Duplicate representation of merged trees: glr2.cc) and
        examples/c++/glr/c++-types.

        Still XFAIL:

        tables: avoid warnings and save bits
        The yydefgoto table uses -1 as an invalid for an impossible case (we
        never use yydefgoto[0], since it corresponds to the reduction to
        $accept, which never happens).  Since yydefgoto is a table of state
        numbers, this -1 forces a signed type uselessly, which (1) might
        trigger compiler warnings when storing a value from yydefgoto into a
        state number (nonnegative), and (2) wastes bits which might result in
        using a int16 where a uint8 suffices.

2020-11-13  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        c++: shorten the assertions that check whether tokens are correct
        Before:

            YY_ASSERT (tok == token::YYEOF || tok == token::YYerror || tok == token::YYUNDEF || tok == 120 || tok == 49 || tok == 50 || tok == 51 || tok == 52 || tok == 53 || tok == 54 || tok == 55 || tok == 56 || tok == 57 || tok == 97 || tok == 98);

        After:

            YY_ASSERT (tok == token::YYEOF
                       || (token::YYerror <= tok && tok <= token::YYUNDEF)
                       || tok == 120
                       || (49 <= tok && tok <= 57)
                       || (97 <= tok && tok <= 98));

        Clauses are now also wrapped on several lines.  This is nicer to read
        and diff, but also avoids pushing Visual C++ to its arbitrary
        limits (640K and lines of 16380 bytes ought to be enough for anybody,
        otherwise make an C2026 error).

        The useless parens are there for the dummy warnings about
        precedence (in the future, will we also have to put parens in
        `1+2*3`?).

        lalr1.cc: YY_ASSERT should use api.prefix
        Working on the previous commit I realized that YY_ASSERT was used in
        the generated headers, so must follow api.prefix to avoid clashes when
        multiple C++ parser with variants are used.

        Actually many more macros should obey api.prefix (YY_CPLUSPLUS,
        YY_COPY, etc.).  There was no complaint so far, so it's not urgent
        enough for 3.7.4, but it should be addressed in 3.8.

        * data/skeletons/variant.hh (b4_assert): New.
        Use it.
        * tests/local.at (AT_YYLEX_RETURN): Fix.
        * tests/headers.at: Make sure variant-based C++ parsers are checked
        too.
        This test did find that YY_ASSERT escaped renaming (before the fix in
        this commit).

2020-11-13  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        c++: don't use YY_ASSERT at all if parse.assert is disabled
        In some extreme situations (about 800 tokens), we generate a
        single-line assertion long enough for Visual C++ to discard the end of
        the line, thus falling into parse ends for the missing `);`.  On a
        shorter example:

            YY_ASSERT (tok == token::TOK_YYEOF || tok == token::TOK_YYerror || tok == token::TOK_YYUNDEF || tok == token::TOK_ASSIGN || tok == token::TOK_MINUS || tok == token::TOK_PLUS || tok == token::TOK_STAR || tok == token::TOK_SLASH || tok == token::TOK_LPAREN || tok == token::TOK_RPAREN);

        Whether NDEBUG is used or not is irrelevant, the parser dies anyway.

        Reported by Jot Dot <jotdot@shaw.ca>.
        https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-bison/2020-11/msg00002.html

        We should avoid emitting lines so long.

        We probably should also use a range-based assertion (with extraneous
        parens to pacify fascist compilers):

            YY_ASSERT ((token::TOK_YYEOF <= tok && tok <= token::TOK_YYUNDEF)
                       || (token::TOK_ASSIGN <= tok && ...)

        But anyway, we should simply not emit this assertion at all when not
        asked for.

        * data/skeletons/variant.hh: Do not define, nor use, YY_ASSERT when it
        is not enabled.

        multistart: fix IELR computations
        IELR needs to rule out the successors of the kernel items of the
        initial state (`$accept: input • $end`).  In the case of multistart,
        this condition must be expressed differently: the mere item index does

        we need to compute the rule anyway, so it's not very much more costly,
        and (ii) in ielr_item_has_lookahead, this situation is actually
        impossible, so an optimizing compiler reading the assertions should
        actually avoid this computation.

        ielr: make some conditions about items easier to understand

        possible there, i.e., we're checking whether this item is about a
        successor of a (kernel) item of the initial state ($accept: input •
        $end).

2020-11-07  Adela Vais  <adela.vais@yahoo.com>

        d: add the custom error message feature
        Parser.Context class returns a const YYLocation, so Lexer's method
        yyerror() needs to receive the location as a const parameter.

        Internal error reporting flow is changed to be similar to that of
        the other skeletons. Before, case YYERRLAB was calling yyerror()
        with the result of yysyntax_error() as the string parameter. As the
        custom error message lets the user decide if they want to use
        yyerror() or not, this flow needed to be changed. Now, case YYERRLAB
        calls yyreportSyntaxError(), that builds the error message using
        yysyntaxErrorArguments(). Then yyreportSyntaxError() passes the
        error message to the user defined syntax_error() in case of a custom
        message, or to yyerror() otherwise.

        In the tests in tests/calc.at, the order of the tokens needs to be
        changed in order of precedence, so that the D program outputs the
        expected tokens in the same order as the other parsers.

        m4: have b4_percent_define_if_define apply default values lazily
        Currently `b4_percent_define_ifdef([foo])` assigns a default value to
        `foo` when invoked.  As a consequence, skeletons such as lalr1.d
        cannot specify their specific default values: `foo` was defined in
        bison.m4.

        Instead, provide `foo` with a default value when `b4_foo_if` is
        invoked.

        I could not measure a runtime difference between both cases.

        multistart: also give access to yynerrs
        This is something that has always bothered me: with pure parsers (and
        they all should be) the user does not have an (easy) access to yynerrs
        at the end of the parse.  In the case of error recovery, that's the
        only direct means to know if there were errors.  The usual approach
        being having the user maintain a counter incremented each time yyerror
        is called.

        So here, also capture yynerrs in the return value of the start-symbol
        parsing functions.

2020-09-27  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        multistart: use b4_accept instead of action post-processing
        For each start symbol, generate a parsing function with a richer
        return value than the usual of yyparse.  Reserve a place for the
        returned semantic value, in order to avoid having to pass a pointer as
        argument to "return" that value.  This also makes the call to the
        parsing function independent of whether a given start-symbol is typed.

        For instance, if the grammar file contains:

            %type <int> expression
            %start input expression

        (so "input" is valueless) we get

            typedef struct
            {
              int yystatus;
            } yyparse_input_t;

            yyparse_input_t yyparse_input (void);

            typedef struct
            {
              int yyvalue;
              int yystatus;
            } yyparse_expression_t;

            yyparse_expression_t yyparse_expression (void);

        This commit also changes the implementation of the parser termination:
        when there are multiple start symbols, it is the initial rules that
        explicitly YYACCEPT.  They do that after having exported the
        start-symbol's value (if it is typed):

          switch (yyn)
            {
          case 1: /* $accept: YY_EXPRESSION expression $end  */
          { ((*yyvalue).TOK_expression) = (yyvsp[-1].TOK_expression); YYACCEPT; }
            break;

          case 2: /* $accept: YY_INPUT input $end  */
          { YYACCEPT; }
            break;

        I have tried several ways to deal with termination, and this is the
        one that appears the best one to me.  It is also the most natural.

        glr.cc, glr2.cc: don't publish compiler pragmas
        Currently the compiler attributes are defined in
        b4_shared_declarations (that can in the header if it exists, otherwise
        in the implementation file).  This is not needed, only the
        implementation file needs them.

        Besides, glr2.cc was also defining these macros in the implementation
        file, so we had two definitions.

        * data/skeletons/glr.cc, data/skeletons/glr2.cc: Define the compiler
        attribute macros only in the implementation files.
        * tests/regression.at (Lex and parse params): Generate a header, to
        make it easy to check that the header is self-sufficient.

        glr2.cc: disable incorrect warnings from GCC6 to 9
        For instance with GCC8:

            616. regression.at:1560: testing Lex and parse params: glr2.cc ...
            tests/regression.at:1560: COLUMNS=1000; export COLUMNS; NO_TERM_HYPERLINKS=1; export NO_TERM_HYPERLINKS;  bison --color=no -fno-caret  -o input.cc input.y
            tests/regression.at:1560: $CXX $CXXFLAGS $CPPFLAGS  $LDFLAGS -o input input.cc $LIBS
            stderr:
            input.cc: In member function 'YYRESULTTAG glr_stack::yyresolveValue(glr_state*)':
            input.cc:1796:10: error: potential null pointer dereference [-Werror=null-dereference]
               return yypred ? &(asItem(this) - yypred)->getState() : YY_NULLPTR;
                      ^~~~~~
            input.cc:1796:10: error: potential null pointer dereference [-Werror=null-dereference]
               return yypred ? &(asItem(this) - yypred)->getState() : YY_NULLPTR;
                      ^~~~~~
            cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors

        It complains that the implicit this in yypred might be null.  It fears
        it because of loops such as

            for (glr_state* yys = firstTopState();
                 yys != yystateStack.yysplitPoint;
                 yys = yys->pred())
              yyn += 1;

        that could possibly set yys to null, since yys->pred might return
        null.  However, the warning is incorrect, since in C++ `this` cannot
        be null.  GCC 10 no longer emits this warning.

        GCC 7 also complains many times about glr_stack::yyresolveLocations
        when NDEBUG is enabled (when it is not, YYASSERT (yyoption !=
        YY_NULLPTR) is probably enough to pacify GCC):

        build: fix incorrect dependencies
        Commit af000bab111768a04021bf5ffa4bbe91d44e231c ("doc: work around
        Texinfo 6.7 bug"), published in 3.4.91, added a dependency on the
        "all" target.

        This is a super bad idea, since "make all" will run this
        target *before* "all", which builds bison.  It turns out that this new
        dependency actually needed bison to be built.  So all the regular
        process (i) build $(BUILT_SOURCES) and then (ii) build bison, was
        wrecked since some of the $(BUILT_SOURCES) depended on bison...

        It was "easy" to see in the logs of "make V=1" because we were
        building bison files (such as src/files.o) *before* displaying the
        banner for "all-recursive".  With this fix, we finally get again the
        proper sequence:

            rm -f examples/c/reccalc/scan.stamp examples/c/reccalc/scan.stamp.tmp
            /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/mkdir -p examples/c/reccalc

        fix: crash when redefining the EOF token
        Reported by Agency for Defense Development.
        https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-bison/2020-08/msg00008.html

        On an empty such as

            %token FOO
                   BAR
                   FOO 0
            %%
            input: %empty

        we crash because when we find FOO 0, we decrement ntokens (since FOO
        was discovered to be EOF, which is already known to be a token, so we
        increment ntokens for it, and need to cancel this).  This "works well"
        when EOF is properly defined in one go, but here it is first defined
        and later only assign token code 0.  In the meanwhile BAR was given
        the token number that we just decremented.

        To fix this, assign symbol numbers after parsing, not during parsing,
        so that we also saw all the explicit token codes.  To maintain the
        current numbers (I'd like to keep no difference in the output, not
        just equivalence), we need to make sure the symbols are numbered in
        the same order: that of appearance in the source file.  So we need the
        locations to be correct, which was almost the case, except for nterms
        that appeared several times as LHS (i.e., several times as "foo:
        ...").  Fixing the use of location_of_lhs sufficed (it appears it was
        intended for this use, but its implementation was unfinished: it was
        always set to "false" only).

        (symbol_code_set): Remove broken hack that decremented ntokens.

        Unfortunately I found no way to use the ↳ glyph in Texinfo, so I used

        cex: make "rerun with '-Wcex'" a note instead of a warning
        Currently the suggestion to rerun is a -Wother warning:

            warning: 2 shift/reduce conflicts [-Wconflicts-sr]
            warning: rerun with option '-Wcounterexamples' to generate conflict counterexamples [-Wother]

        Instead, let's attach it as a subnote of the diagnostic (in the
        current case, -Wconflicts-sr):

            warning: 2 shift/reduce conflicts [-Wconflicts-sr]
            note: rerun with option '-Wcounterexamples' to generate conflict counterexamples

        cex: display derivations as trees
        Sometimes, understanding the derivations is difficult, because they
        are serialized to fit in one line.  For instance, the example taken
        from the NEWS file:

            %token ID
            %%
            s: a ID
            a: expr
            expr: expr ID ',' | "expr"

        gave

            First example        expr • ID ',' ID $end
            Shift derivation     $accept → [ s → [ a → [ expr → [ expr • ID ',' ] ] ID ] $end ]
            Second example       expr • ID $end
            Reduce derivation    $accept → [ s → [ a → [ expr • ] ID ] $end ]

        Printing as trees, it gives:

            First example        expr • ID ',' ID $end
            Shift derivation
              $accept
              ↳ s                      $end

                  ↳ expr
                    ↳ expr • ID ','

        In commit c80cdf2db2b302db4137fabd4ae11e578fa51fca ("doc: simplify

             For a more detailed exposition of the mysterious behavior in LALR parsers
            -and the benefits of IELR, @pxref{Bibliography,,Denny 2008 March}, and

            +and the benefits of IELR, @pxref{Bibliography}, and
            +@ref{Bibliography}.

        which results in "see Bibliography" twice, instead of the more precise
        reference.

        yacc.c: push: don't clear the parser state when accepting/rejecting
        Currently when a push parser finishes its parsing (i.e., it did not
        return YYPUSH_MORE), it also clears its state.  It is therefore
        impossible to see if it had parse errors.

        In the context of autocompletion, because error recovery might have
        fired, the parser is actually already in a different state.  For
        instance on `(1 + + <TAB>` in the bistromathic, because there's a
        `exp: "(" error ")"` recovery rule, `1 + +` tokens have already been
        popped, replaced by `error`, and autocompletions think we are ready
        for the closing ")".  So here, we would like to see if there was a
        syntax error, yet `yynerrs` was cleared.

        In the case of a successful parse, we still have a problem: if error
        recovery succeeded, we won't know it, since, again, `yynerrs` is
        clearer.

        It seems much more natural to leave the parser state available for
        analysis when there is a failure.

        To reuse the parser, we should either:

        1. provide an explicit means to reinitialize a parser state for future
           parses.

        2. automatically reset the parser state when it is used in a new
           parse.

        Option 2 requires to check whether we need to reinitialize the parser
        each time we call `yypush_parse`, i.e., each time we give a new token.
        This seems expensive compared to Option 1, but benchmarks revealed no
        difference.  Option 1 is incompatible with the documentation
        ("After `yypush_parse` returns a status other than `YYPUSH_MORE`, the
        parser instance `yyps` may be reused for a new parse.").

        So Option 2 wins, reusing the private `yynew` member to record that a
        parse was finished, and therefore that the state must reset in the
        next call to `yypull_parse`.

        While at it, this implementation now reuses the previously enlarged
        stacks from one parse to another.

        * data/skeletons/yacc.c (yypstate_new): Set up the stacks in their
        initial configurations (setting their bottom to the stack array), and
        use yypstate_clear to reset them (moving their top to their bottom).
        (yypstate_delete): Adjust.
        (yypush_parse): At the beginning, clear yypstate if needed, and at the
        end, record when yypstate needs to be clearer.

        * examples/c/bistromathic/parse.y (expected_tokens): Do not propose
        autocompletion when there are parse errors.

        yacc.c: declare and initialize and the same time
        In order to factor the code of push and pull parsers, the declaration
        of the parser's state variable was common (being local variable in
        pull parsers, and struct members in push parsers).  This result in
        rather poor style in pull parser, with first variable declarations,
        and then their initializations.

        The initialization is about to differ between push and pull parsers,
        so it is no longer worth keeping both cases together.

        * data/skeletons/yacc.c (b4_declare_parser_state_variables): Accept an
        argument, and when it is set, initialize the variables.

2020-06-29  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        yacc.c: simplify yypull_parse
        Currently yypull_parse takes a yypstate* as argument, and accepts it
        to be NULL.  This does not seem to make a lot of sense: rather it is
        its callers that should do that.

        I believe this is historical: yypull_parse was introduced
        first (c3d503425f8014b432601a33b3398446d63b5963), with yyparse being a
        macro.  So yyparse could hardly deal with memory allocation properly.
        In 7172e23e8ffb95b8cafee24c4f36c46ca709507f that yyparse was turned
        into a genuine function.  At that point, it should have allocated its
        own yypstate*, which would have left yypull_parse deal with only one
        single non-null ypstate* argument.

        Fortunately, it is nowhere documented that it is valid to pass NULL to
        yypull_parse.  It is now forbidden.

        * data/skeletons/yacc.c (yypull_parse): Don't allocate a yypstate.
        Needs a location to issue the error message.
        (yyparse): Allocate the yypstate.

        Prefer `r` to `rules_ruleno`, which is truly an ugly name.

        style: clean up ielr
        * src/AnnotationList.c, src/ielr.c: Fix include order.
        Prefer `res` to `result`.
        Reduce scopes.
        Be free of the oldish 76 cols limitation when it clutters too much the
        code.
        Denest when possible (we're starving for horizontal width).

        doc: use dot/'•' rather than point/'.'

        c++: get rid of global_tokens_and_yystype
        This was a hack to make it easier for people to migrate from yacc.c to
        lalr1.cc and from glr.c to glr.cc: when set, YYSTYPE and YYLTYPE were
        `#defined`.  It was never documented (just mentioned in NEWS for Bison
        2.2, 2006-05-19), but was used to simplify the test suite.  Stop that:
        adjust the test suite to the skeletons, not the converse.

        In C++ use yy::parser::semantic_type, yy::parser::location_type, and
        yy::parser::token::MY_TOKEN, instead of YYSTYPE, YYLTYPE and MY_TOKEN.

        cex: also include the counterexamples in the report
        The report is the best place to show the details about
        counterexamples, since we have the state right under the nose.

            3    | exp . "+" exp
            3    | exp "+" exp .  [$end, "+", "⊕"]

            "⊕"  shift, and go to state 6

            $end      reduce using rule 2 (exp)
            $end      [reduce using rule 3 (exp)]
            "+"       reduce using rule 2 (exp)
            "+"       [reduce using rule 3 (exp)]

            "⊕"       [reduce using rule 3 (exp)]
            $default  reduce using rule 2 (exp)

            Conflict between rule 2 and token "+" resolved as reduce (%left "+").

        glr.cc: don't leak glr.c/glr.cc scaffolding to the user
        Until we have a decent reimplementation of glr.cc, we have to use

        are done via #define.  Unfortunately in Bison 3.6 some of these we
        done in the header file, which broke valid user code.

        reports: don't escape the labels
        Currently we use "quotearg" to escape the strings output in Dot.  As a
        result, if the user's locale is C for instance, all the non-ASCII are
        escaped.  Unfortunately graphviz does not interpret this style of
        escaping.

        For instance:

            5 -> 2 [style=solid label="\"\303\221\303\271\341\271\203\303\251\342\204\235\303\264\""]

        was displayed as a sequence of numbers.  We now output:

            5 -> 2 [style=solid label="\"Ñùṃéℝô\""]

        independently of the user's locale.

        parser: keep string aliases as the user wrote it
        Currently our scanner decodes all the escapes in the strings, and we
        later reescape the strings when we emit them.

        This is troublesome, as we do not respect the user input.  For
        instance, when the user writes in UTF-8, we destroy her string when we
        write it back.  And this shows everywhere: in the reports we show the
        escaped string instead of the actual alias:

            0 $accept: . exp $end
            1 exp: . exp "\342\212\225" exp
            2    | . exp "+" exp
            3    | . exp "+" exp
            4    | . "number"
            5    | . "\303\221\303\271\341\271\203\303\251\342\204\235\303\264"

            "number"                                                    shift, and go to state 1
            "\303\221\303\271\341\271\203\303\251\342\204\235\303\264"  shift, and go to state 2

        This commit preserves the user's exact spelling of the string aliases,
        instead of interpreting the escapes and then reescaping.  The report
        now shows:

            0 $accept: . exp $end
            1 exp: . exp "⊕" exp
            2    | . exp "+" exp
            3    | . exp "+" exp
            4    | . "number"
            5    | . "Ñùṃéℝô"

            "number"          shift, and go to state 1
            "Ñùṃéℝô"  shift, and go to state 2

        cex: suggest -Wcounterexamples when there are unexpected conflicts
        Suggesting -Wcounterexamples when there are conflicts is probably not
        what the user wants.  If she knows her conflicts and has set
        %expect/%expect-rr appropriately, we shouldn't warn.

        The commit also swaps the counterexamples and the report of conflicts,
        into, IMHO, a more natural order: from

            Shift/reduce conflict on token B:
            1:    3 a: A .
            1:    8 y: A . B
            Example              A • B C
            First derivation     s ::=[ a ::=[ A • ] x ::=[ B C ] ]
            Example              A • B C
            Second derivation    s ::=[ y ::=[ A • B ] c ::=[ C ] ]

            input.y: warning: 1 shift/reduce conflict [-Wconflicts-sr]

        cex: rename -Wcounterexample as -Wcounterexamples, and support -Wcex
        Plural vs. singular is always a problem...

        But we already have conflicts-sr and conflicts-rr, so counterexamples
        makes more sense than counterexample.  Besides, -Wcounterexample will
        still be accepted as an unambiguous prefix of -Wcounterexamples.

        Add -Wcex as a convenient alias.

        While at it, use only "counterexample", never "counter example".

        api.header.include: document it, and fix its default value
        While defining api.header.include worked as expected, its default
        value was incorrectly defined.  As a result, by default, the generated
        parsers still duplicated the content of the generated header instead
        of including it.

        cex: enforce case for tokens/nonterminals
        It's unfortunate that the traditions between formal language theory
        and Yacc differs, but here, tokens should be upper case, and
        nonterminals should be lower case.

        * tests/counterexample.at: Comply with this.

2020-06-07  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        cex: reformat the s/r and r/r reports
        In Bison we refer to "shift/reduce" conflicts, not "shift-reduce" (in
        Bison 3.6.3 186 occurrences vs 15).  Enforce consistency on this.

        Instead of "spending" a second line for each conflict to report the
        lookaheads, put that on the same line as the type of conflict.  Also,
        prefer "token" to "symbol".  Maybe we should even prefer "lookahead".
        While at it, enable internationalization, with plurals where
        appropriate.

        As a consequence, instead of

            Shift-Reduce Conflict:
            6:    3 b: . %empty
            6:    6 d: c . A

        lists: fix various issues with the use of gnulib's list
        First, we should avoid code such as

            gl_list_iterator_t it = gl_list_iterator (deriv->children);
            derivation *child = NULL;
            while (gl_list_iterator_next (&it, (const void **) &child, NULL))
              {
                derivation_print (child, f);

        because of -Wstrict-aliasing (whose job is to catch type-punning
        issues).  See https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-bison/2020-05/msg00039.html.

        Rather we need

            gl_list_iterator_t it = gl_list_iterator (deriv->children);
            const void **p = NULL;
            while (gl_list_iterator_next (&it, &p, NULL))
              {
                derivation *child = (derivation *) p;
                derivation_print (child, f);

        Second, list iterators actually have destructors.  Even though they
        are noop in the case of linked-lists, we should use them.

        Let's address both issues with typed wrappers (such as
        derivation_list_next) that take care of both issues, and besides allow
        to scope the iterators within the loop:

            derivation *child;
            for (gl_list_iterator_t it = gl_list_iterator (deriv->children);
                 derivation_list_next (&it, &child);
                 )
              {
                derivation_print (child, f);

        Flex generated code produces too many warnings, including things such
        as, with ICC:

            examples/c/lexcalc/scan.c(1088): error #1682: implicit conversion
                      of a 64-bit integral type to a smaller integral type (potential portability problem)

        I am tired of trying to fix Flex's output.  The project does not seem

        to enable warnings with Flex.

        bison: add command line option to map file prefixes
        Teaches bison about a new command line option, --file-prefix-map OLD=NEW
        (based on the -ffile-prefix-map option from GCC) which causes it to
        replace and file path of OLD in the text of the output file with NEW,
        mainly for header guards and comments. The primary use of this is to
        make builds reproducible with different input paths, and in particular
        the debugging information produced when the source code is compiled. For
        example, a distro may know that the bison source code will be located at
        "/usr/src/bison" and thus can generate bison files that are reproducible
        with the following command:

            bison --output=/build/bison/parse.c -d --file-prefix-map=/build/bison/=/usr/src/bison/ parse.y

        Importantly, this will change the header guards and #line directives
        from:

            #ifndef YY_BUILD_BISON_PARSE_H
            #line 100 "/build/bison/parse.h"

        to

            #ifndef YY_USR_SRC_BISON_PARSE_H
            #line 100 "/usr/src/bison/parse.h"

        kinds: use the symbol kinds where applicable
        Instead of generating switch statements with numbers, let's use the
        symbol kinds.  Not only is this more readable, it also makes reading
        diff easier, as a change in symbol numbers won't have such a large
        effect on the implementation of symbol actions.

        Can make a big difference in the case of small inputs.  E.g.

        Commit a4ede8f85b0c9a254fcb01e5888cee1983095669 ("package: make bison
        a relocatable package") made Bison relocatable, but in fact it still
        contains one absolute reference: the M4 variable, which points to the
        M4 program. Let's fix that by using relocate(), see if an M4 binary is
        available at the relocated location, and otherwise fallback to the
        original M4 location.

        fix: do not emit nested comments
        With input such as

            %token<fl> yVL_CLOCK "/*verilator sc_clock*/"

        we generate

            yVL_CLOCK = 610,      /* "/*verilator sc_clock*/"  */

        which is invalid since the comment will actually be closed on the
        first "*/".  Let's turn "*/" into "*\/" to avoid this.  But GCC will
        also warn about "/*" inside a comment, so let's "escape" it too.

        c: restore definition of _Noreturn as [[noreturn]] in C++
        c.m4 contains a definition of _Noreturn which is modeled after
        gnulib's lib/_Noreturn.h.  The latter was recently
        changed (b61bf2f0e8bdc1e522ae8e97d57d5625163b42ea) to not using
        [[noreturn]] at all, because the uses of _Noreturn in gnulib are
        sometimes incompatible with the rules of [[noreturn]].

        As a result glr.cc started to use _Noreturn in C++, which clang
        refuses (all the glr.cc tests currently fail with Clang++).

        * data/skeletons/c.m4 (b4_attribute_define): Restore the definition of
        _Noreturn as [[noreturn]] in modern C++.
        The generated code uses _Noreturn in places where [[noreturn]] is
        valid.

        all: fix the interface of yyexpected_tokens
        The user gives yyexpected_tokens a limit: the max number of tokens she
        wants to hear about.  That's because an error message that reports a
        bazillion of possible tokens is useless.

        In that case yyexpected_tokens returned 0, so the user would not know
        if there are too many expected tokens or none (yes, that's possible).

        There are several ways to tell the user in which situation she's in:

        - return some E2MANY, a negative value.  Then it makes the pattern

            int argsize = yypcontext_expected_tokens (ctx, arg, ARGS_MAX);
            if (argsize < 0)
              return argsize;

          no longer valid, as for E2MANY (i) the user must generate the error
          message anyway, and (ii) she should not return E2MANY

        - return ARGS_MAX + 1.  Then it makes it dangerous for the user, as
          she has to iterate update `min (ARGS_MAX, argsize)`.

        Returning 0 is definitely simpler and safer for the user, as it tells
        her "this is not an error, just generate your message without a list
        of expecting tokens".  So let's still return 0, but set arg[0] to the
        empty token when the list is really empty.

        * data/skeletons/yacc.c (yyexpected_tokens): Put the empty symbol

        examples: fix handling of syntax errors
        The shell grammar does not allow empty statements in then/else part of
        an if, but examples/test failed to catch the syntax errors from the
        script it ran.  So exited with success anyway.

        You would expect 'set -e' to suffice, but with bash 3.2 actually it
        does not.  As a matter of fact, I could find a way to have this behave
        properly:

            $ cat test.sh
            set -e
            cleanup ()
            {
              status=$?
              echo "cleanup: $status"
              exit $status
            }
            trap cleanup 0 1 2 13 15
            . $1
            s=$?
            echo "test.sh: $s"
            exit $s

            $ cat bistro.test
            if true; then
            fi

            $ /bin/sh ./test.sh ./bistro.test
            ./bistro.test: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
            cleanup: 0
            $ echo $?
            0

        Remove the set -e (or the trap), and tada, it works...  So we have to
        deal with the error by hand.

        * examples/test ($exit): Replace with...
        ($status): this.
        Preserve the exit status of the test case.

        c++: provide backward compatibility on by_type
        To write unit tests for their scanners, some users depended on
        symbol_type::token():

            Lexer lex("12345");
            symbol_type t = lex.nextToken();
            assert(t.token() == token::INTLIT);
            assert(t.value.as<int>() == 12345);

        But symbol_type::token() was removed in Bison 3.5 because it relied on
        a conversion table.  So users had to find other patterns, such as

            assert(t.type_get() == by_type(token::INTLIT).type_get());

        which relies on several private implementation details.

        As part of transitioning from "token type" to "token kind", and making
        this a public and documented interface, "by_type" was renamed
        "by_kind" and "type_get()" was renamed as "kind()".  The latter had
        backward compatibility mechanisms, not the former.

        In Bison 3.6 none of this should be used, but rather

            assert(t.kind() == symbol_kind::S_INTLIT);

        Reported by Pramod Kumbhar.

        package: fix distcheck
        Bison emits strings to translate in the generated code, for builtin
        tokens.  So they appear only in generated parsers, which are not
        shipped, so they are not in the src tree, so we cannot use them in our
        POTFILE.

        Except src/parse-gram.c, which is in the source tree.  And even in the
        git repo.  But to avoid useless diffs in the repo, we do not keep the
        src/parse-gram.c _with_ the #lines.  This is done in a dist-hook which
        regenerates src/parse-gram.c when we run "make dist".

        Unfortunately, then, update-po traverses the whole tree and sees that
        the location of the strings to translate in src/parse-gram.c have
        changed, so the bison.pot is to be updated.  And that is not possible
        in the "make dist" which is run within "make distcheck"
        (not the one preparing the dist for distcheck, the one run by
        distcheck to check that a distributed tarball can build a tarball)
        because then the src tree is read-only.

        So let's not put src/parse-gram.c in the POTFILE, and expose these
        strings to gettextize by hand.

        * src/i18n-strings.c: New.

        all: don't emit an error message when the scanner returns YYERRCODE
        I'm quite pleased to see that the tricky case of glr.c was already
        prepared by the changes to support syntax_error exceptions.  Better
        yet, it is actually syntax_error that becomes a special case of the
        general pattern: make yytoken be YYERRCODE.

        * data/skeletons/glr.c (YYFAULTYTOK): Remove the now useless (Basil)
        Faulty token.
        Instead, use the error token.
        * data/skeletons/lalr1.d, data/skeletons/lalr1.java: When computing
        the action, first check the case of the error token.

        * tests/calc.at: Check cases for the error token symbols before and
        after it.

2020-04-26  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        c: don't emit an error message when the scanner returns YYERRCODE
        * data/skeletons/yacc.c (yyparse): When the scanner returns YYERRCODE,
        go directly to error recovery (yyerrlab1).
        However, don't keep the error token as lookahead, that token is too
        special.
        * data/skeletons/lalr1.cc: Likewise.

        * examples/c/bistromathic/parse.y (yylex): Use that feature to report
        nicely invalid characters.
        * examples/c/bistromathic/bistromathic.test: Check that.
        * examples/test: Neutralize gratuitous differences such as rule
        position.

        * tests/calc.at: Check that case in C only.
        The other case seem to be working, but that's an illusion that the
        next commit will address (in fact, they can enter endless loops, and
        report the error several times anyway).

        c++: give public access to the symbol kind
        symbol_type::token () was removed: it returned the token kind of a
        symbol.  To do that, one needs to convert from the symbol kind to the
        token kind, which requires a table.

        This broke some users' unit tests for scanners, see
        https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-bison/2020-01/msg00001.html
        https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-bison/2020-03/msg00020.html
        https://lists.gnu.org/r/help-bison/2020-04/msg00005.html

        Instead of making this possible again, let's check the symbol's kind
        instead.  So give proper access to a symbol's kind.

        That feature existed, undocumented, as 'type_get()'.  Let's rename
        this as 'kind()'.

        c, c++: also define YYEMPTY in yytoken_kind_t
        I have been hesitating a lot before doing it ---after all the user
        must not use this kind, so what's the point of showing it in
        yytoken_kind_t.  And eventually I chose to play it safe with the
        typing system and make it possible to use yytoken_kind_t for all the
        tokens, even the "empty token".

        c: rename yyexpected_tokens as yypcontext_expected_tokens
        The user should think of yypcontext fields as accessible only via
        yypcontext_* functions.  So let's rename yyexpected_tokens to reflect
        that.

        Let's _not_ rename yyreport_syntax_error, as the user may define this
        function, and is not allowed to access directly the fields of
        yypcontext_t: she *must* use the "accessors".  This is comparable to
        the case of C++/Java where the user defines
        parser::report_syntax_error, not parser::context::report_syntax_error.

        skeletons: use "end of file" instead of "$end"
        The name "$end" is nice in the report, in particular it avoids that
        pointed-rules (aka items) be too long.  It also helps keeping them
        "standard".

        But it is bad in error messages, we should report "end of file" (or
        maybe "end of input", this is debatable).  So, unless the user already
        defined the alias for the error token herself, make it "end of file".
        It should even be translated if the user already translated some
        tokens, so that there is now no strong reason to redefine the $end
        token.

        * src/output.c (prepare_symbol_names): Issue "end of file" instead of
        "$end".

        tokens: properly define the YYEOF token kind
        Currently EOF is handled in an adhoc way, with a #define YYEOF 0 in
        the implementation file.  As a result, the user has to define her own
        EOF token if she wants to use it, which is a pity.

        Give the $end token a visible kind name, YYEOF.  Except that in C,
        where enums are not scoped, we would have collisions between all the
        definitions of YYEOFs in the header files, so in C, make it
        <api.PREFIX>EOF.

        * data/skeletons/c.m4 (YYEOF): Override its name to avoid collisions.
        Unless the user already gave it a different name.

        tokens: properly define the "error" token kind
        There are people out there that do use YYERRCODE (the token kind of
        the error token).  See for instance
        https://github.com/borbolla-automation/SPC_Machines/blob/3812012bb782bfdfe7b325950a35cd337925fcad/unixODBC-2.3.2/Drivers/nn/yylex.c.

        Currently, YYERRCODE is defined by yacc.c in an adhoc way as a #define
        in the *.c file only.  It belongs with the other token kinds.

        YYERRCODE is not a nice name, it does not fit in our naming scheme.
        YYERROR would be more logical, but it collides with the YYERROR macro.
        Shall we keep the same name in all the skeletons?  Besides, to avoid
        collisions in C, we need to apply the api prefix: YYERRCODE is
        actually <PREFIX>ERRCODE.  This is not needed in the other languages.

        * data/skeletons/bison.m4 (b4_symbol_token_kind): New.
        Map the error token to "YYERRCODE".
        * data/skeletons/yacc.c (YYERRCODE): Don't define it, it's handled by...

        c++: fix generated headers
        A forthcoming commit (tokens: properly define the "error" token kind)
        revealed a problem in the C++ generated headers: they are not
        self-contained.  With this file:

            %language "c++"
            %define api.value.type variant

            %code {
              static int yylex (yy::parser::semantic_type *lvalp);
            }

            %token <int> X

            %%

            exp:
              X { printf ("x\n"); }
            ;

            %%

            void
            yy::parser::error (const std::string& m)
            {
              std::cerr << m << '\n';
            }

            static
            int yylex (yy::parser::semantic_type *lvalp)
            {
              static int const input[] = {yy::parser::token::X, 0};
              static int toknum = 0;
              return input[toknum++];
            }

            int
            main (int argc, char const* argv[])
            {
              yy::parser p;
              return p.parse ();
            }

        the generated header fails to compile cleanly (foo.cc just #includes
        the generated header):

            $ clang++-mp-9.0 -c -Wundefined-func-template foo.cc
            In file included from foo.cc:1:

        This triggers warnings with several compilers.  For instance ICC fills

        Eventually, it might be interesting to move away from -2 (which is the
        only possible negative symbol number) and use the next available

        the rest, which would allow to write "!yytoken" to mean really

        yacc.c: introduce an enum that defines the symbol's number
        There's a number of advantage in exposing the symbol (internal)
        numbers:

        - custom error messages can use them to decide how to represent a
          given symbol, or a set of symbols.

        - we need something similar in uses of yyexpected_tokens.  For
          instance, currently, bistromathic's completion() reads:

            int ntokens = expected_tokens (line, tokens, YYNTOKENS);
            [...]
            for (int i = 0; i < ntokens; ++i)
              if (tokens[i] == YYTRANSLATE (TOK_VAR))
              [...]
              else if (tokens[i] == YYTRANSLATE (TOK_FUN))
              [...]
              else
              [...]

        - now that it's a compile-time expression, we can easily build static
          tables, switch, etc.

        - some users depended on the ability to get the token number from a
          symbol to write test cases for their scanners.  But Bison 3.5
          removed the table this feature depended upon (a reverse
          yytranslate).  Now they can check against the actual symbol number,
          without having pay (space and time) a conversion.
          See https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-bison/2020-01/msg00001.html, and
          https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2020-03/msg00015.html.

        - it helps us clearly separate the internal symbol numbers from the
          external token numbers, whose difference is sometimes blurred in the
          code when values coincide (e.g. "yychar = yytoken = YYEOF").

        - it allows us to get rid of ugly macros with inconsistent names such
          as YYUNDEFTOK and YYTERROR, and to group related definitions
          together.

        - similarly it provides a clean access to the $accept symbol (which
          proves convenient in a current experimentation of mine with several
          %start symbols).

        Let's declare this type as a private type (in the *.c file, not
        the *.h one).  So it does not need to be influenced by the api prefix.

        * data/skeletons/bison.m4 (b4_symbol_sid): New.

        yacc.c: use negative numbers for errors in auxiliary functions
        yyparse returns 0, 1, 2 since ages (accept, reject, memory exhausted).
        Some of our auxiliary functions such as yy_lac and
        yyreport_syntax_error also need to return error codes and also use 0,
        1, 2.  Because it uses yy_lac, yyexpected_tokens also needs to return
        "problem", "memory exhausted", but in case of success, it needs to
        return the number of tokens, so it cannot use 1 and 2 as error code.
        Currently it uses -1 and -2, which is later converted into 1 and 2 as
        yacc.c expects it.

        Let's simplify this and use consistently -1 and -2 for auxiliary

        yacc.c: yypstate_expected_tokens
        In push parsers, when asking for the list of expected tokens at some

        alone suffices (the only difference being the lookahead).  Instead of
        forcing the user to build a useless shell around yypstate, let's offer
        yypstate_expected_tokens.

        diagnostics: don't crash because of repeated definitions of error
        According to https://www.unix.com/man-page/POSIX/1posix/yacc/, the
        user is allowed to specify her user number for the error token:

            The token error shall be reserved for error handling. The name
            error can be used in grammar rules. It indicates places where the
            parser can recover from a syntax error. The default value of error
            shall be 256. Its value can be changed using a %token
            declaration. The lexical analyzer should not return the value of
            error.

        I think this feature is useless, the user should not have to deal with
        that.  The intend is probably to give the user a means to use 256 if
        she wants to, but provided "error" cleared the path first by being
        assigned another number.  In the case of Bison, 256 is assigned to
        "error" at the end if the user did not use it for a token of hers.  So
        this feature is useless.

        Yet it is valid, and if the user assigns twice a token number to
        "error", then the second time we want to complain about it and want to
        show the original definition.  At this point, we try to display the
        built-in definition of "error", whose location is NULL, and we crash.

        Rather, the location of the first user definition of "error" should
        become its defining location.

        diagnostics: beware of zero-width characters
        Currenly we rely on (visual) width of the characters to decide where
        to open and close the styling of the quoted lines.  This breaks when
        we deal with zero-width characters: we cannot just rely on (visual)
        columns, we need to know whether we are before, inside, or after the
        highlighted portion.

        yacc.c: push: initialize the pstate variables in pstate_new
        Currently pstate_new does not set up its variables, this task is left
        to yypush_parse.  This was probably to share more code with usual pull
        parsers, where these (local) variables are indeed initialized by
        yyparse.

        But as a consequence yyexpected_tokens crashes at the very beginning
        of the parse, since, for instance, the stacks are not even set up.
        See https://lists.gnu.org/r/bison-patches/2020-03/msg00001.html.

        The fix could have very simple, but the documentation actually makes
        it very clear that we can reuse a pstate for several parses:

            After yypush_parse returns a status other than YYPUSH_MORE, the
            parser instance yyps may be reused for a new parse.

        so we need to restore the parser to its pristine state so that (i) it
        is ready to run the next parse, (ii) it properly supports
        yyexpected_tokens for the next run.

        actually complete "at" into "atan".

        matches[0].

        examples: bistromathic: demonstrate the use of yyexpected_tokens
        Let's use GNU readline and its TAB autocompletion to demonstrate the
        use of yyexpected_tokens.

        This shows a number of weaknesses in our current approach:

        - some macros (yyssp, etc.) from push parsers "leak" in user code, we
          need to undefine them

        - the context needed by yyexpected_tokens does not need the token,
          yypstate actually suffices

        - yypstate is not properly setup when first allocated, which results
          in a crash of yyexpected_tokens if fired before a first token was
          read.  We should move initialization from yypush_parse into
          yypstate_new.

        * examples/c/bistromathic/parse.y (yylex): Take input as a string, not
        a file.

        This example will soon use GNU readline, so its scanner should be easy

        where Flex shines, and anyway, these are examples of Bison, not Flex.

        c++: don't copy the lookahead
        The current implementation of parser::context keeps a copy of the
        lookahead.  This is troublesome since we support move-only types.
        Besides, while GCC is happy with the current implementation, Clang
        complains that the ctor it needs to build the copy of the lookahead is
        not yet available.

        Since the introduction of caret-diagnostics, it became less clear.
        Remove the indentation and display submessages as in GCC:

        tests: check calls to yyerror from the user actions
        This revealed a number of things I had not realized:

        - the Java location tracking was aliasing the same pair of positions
          for all the symbols (see previous commit).

        - in impure parsers, it's quite easy to use incorrect locations for
          diagnostics, since yyerror uses yylloc, which is the location of the
          lookahead, not that of the current lhs.  So we need something like

            {
              YYLTYPE old_yylloc = yylloc;
              yylloc = @$;
              yyerror (]AT_PARAM_IF([result, count, nerrs, ])[buf);
              yylloc = old_yylloc;
            }

          Maybe we should do that little yylloc dance in the skeleton instead
          of leaving it to the user?  It might be costly...  But that's only
          for users of the impure parsers, which are asking for trouble
          anyway.

        - in glr.cc invoking yyerror is somewhat cumbersome: the C++ interface
          is not available as we are in yyparse (which in C), and yyerror is
          used by glr.cc itself to bind it to the user's parser::error.  If we
          call yyerror, we need:

            yyerror (]AT_LOCATION_IF([[&@$, ]])[yyparser, ]AT_PARAM_IF([result, count, nerrs, ])[msg);

          However calling yy::parser::error is easier, once we know that the
          current parser object is available as 'yyparser'.  Which also saves
          us from having to pass the parse-params ourselves:

            yyparser.error (]AT_LOCATION_IF([[@$, ]])[msg);

        * tests/calc.at: Invoke yyerror by hand, instead of using fprintf etc.
        Adjust expectations.

        java: revert "style: avoid useless initializers"
        This reverts commit ebab1ffca8a728158051481795ae798231cfd93d.
        This commit removed "useless" initializers, going from

            /* YYPACT[STATE-NUM] -- Index in YYTABLE of the portion describing
               STATE-NUM.  */
            private static final byte yypact_[] = yypact_init ();
            private static final byte[] yypact_init ()
            {
              return new byte[]
              {
                25,    -7,    -8,    37,    -8,    40,    -8,    20,    -8,    61,
                -8,    -8,     3,     9,    51,    -8,    -8,    -2,    -2,    -2,
                -2,    -2,    -2,    -8,    -8,    -8,     1,    66,    66,     3,
                 3,     3
              };
            }

        to

            /* YYPACT[STATE-NUM] -- Index in YYTABLE of the portion describing
               STATE-NUM.  */
            private static final byte[] yypact_ =
            {
                25,    -7,    -8,    37,    -8,    40,    -8,    20,    -8,    61,
                -8,    -8,     3,     9,    51,    -8,    -8,    -2,    -2,    -2,
                -2,    -2,    -2,    -8,    -8,    -8,     1,    66,    66,     3,
                 3,     3
            };

        But it turns out that this was on purpose, to work around the 64KB
        limitation in JVM methods.  It was introduced on the 2008-11-10 by
        Di-an Jan in 09ccae9b18a7c09ebf7bb8df2a18c8c4a6def248: "Work around
        Java's ``code too large'' problem for parser tables".  See
        https://lists.gnu.org/r/help-bison/2008-11/msg00004.html.  A real
        test, where we would hit the JVM limitation, would be nice.

        To avoid further regressions, add comments.

        The error format should be translated, but contrary to the case of
        C/C++, we cannot just depend on macros to adapt on the
        presence/absence of '_'.  Let's consider that the message format is to
        be translated iff there are some internationalized tokens.

        java: add support for parse.error=detailed
        In Java there is no need for N_ and yytranslate_.  So instead of

        b4_symbol_translate.

        * src/output.c (prepare_symbol_names): Use b4_symbol_translate instead

            /** Token number,to be returned by the scanner.  */

        java: tests: check location tracking in the calculator
        Unfortunately in the Java skeleton the user cannot override the way
        locations are displayed, and locations don't know the structure of the
        positions.  So they cannot implement the tricks used in the C/C++
        skeletons to display "1.1" instead of "1.1-1.2".

        * tests/local.at (Java): Add support for column tracking in the
        locations, as we did in examples/java/calc.

        Soon calculator tests for Java will move from java.at to calc.at.

        local.at (for instance really tracking columns in positions, not just
        token number).  Detach java.at from local.at.

        traces: don't print the stack before the gotos
        The C, C++ and D skeletons used to show the stack right after popping
        the stack during the reduction.  Now that the stack is printed after
        reaching a new state, that has become useless:

            Entering state 1
            Stack now 0 1
            Reducing stack by rule 5 (line 83):
               $1 = token "number" (1)
            -> $$ = nterm exp (1)
            Stack now 0
            Entering state 8
            Stack now 0 8

        traces: show the stack after reading a token
        Currently, if we have long rules and series of shift, we stack states
        without showing stack.  Let's be more incremental, and do how the Java
        skeleton does.

        * tests/torture.at (AT_DATA_STACK_TORTURE): Disable stack traces: this
        test produces a very large stack, and showing the stack each time we
        shift a token goes quadatric.

2020-02-04  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        traces: write the "Reading a token" alone on its line
        The Java skeleton displays

            Reading a token:
            Next token is token "number" (1)

        while the other display

            Reading a token: Next token is token "number" (1)

        When generating logs in the scanner, the first part is separated from
        the second, and the end of the scanner logs have the second part
        pasted in.  So let's propagate the Java way, but with the colon.

        glr.c: introduce yyexpected_tokens and yysyntax_error_arguments
        Modeled after what was done in yacc.c, yet somewhat different since
        yyGLRStack play the role of the full yyparse_context_t.  It will
        probably be defined as a alias, to make interfaces compatible.

        LAC is not supported here.  And is somewhat tricky.

        doc: simplify uses of @ref
        The PDF output is more consistent: some nodes were not pointed to with
        their title.  The HTML output becomes "see section Foo" instead of
        "see Foo", but this should be addressed in the next Texinfo release.
        Info output is simplified, as it uses only the node name and not its
        title.  But it's considered easier to read this way.
        See https://lists.gnu.org/r/help-texinfo/2020-01/msg00031.html.

        diagnostics: modernize bison's syntax errors
        We used to display the unexpected token first:

            $ bison foo.y
            foo.y:1.8-13: error: syntax error, unexpected %token, expecting character literal or identifier or <tag>
                1 | %token %token
                  |        ^~~~~~

        GCC uses a different format:

            $ gcc-mp-9 foo.c
            foo.c:1:5: error: expected identifier or '(' before ')' token
                1 | int()()()
                  |     ^

        and so does Clang:

            $ clang-mp-9.0 foo.c
            foo.c:1:5: error: expected identifier or '('
            int()()()
                ^
            1 error generated.

        They display the unexpected token last (or not at all).  Also, they
        don't waste width with "syntax error".  Let's try that.  It gives, for
        the same example as above:

            $ bison foo.y
            foo.y:1.8-13: error: expected character literal or identifier or <tag> before %token
                1 | %token %token

        yacc.c: add support for parse.error detailed
        "detailed" error messages are almost like "verbose", except that we
        don't double escape them, they don't get inner quotes, we don't use
        yytnamerr, and we hide the table.

        "custom" is exposed with the "detailed" tokens, not the "verbose"
        ones: they are not double-quoted.

        Because there's a risk that some people use yytname even without
        "verbose", let's keep yytname (instead of yys_name) in "simple"
        parse.error.

        * src/output.c (prepare_symbol_names): Be ready to output symbol names
        unquoted.
        (prepare_symbol_names): Output both the old tname table, and the new

        * data/skeletons/bison.m4: Accept 'detailed'.
        * data/skeletons/yacc.c: When parse.error is 'detailed', don't emit
        yytname and yytnamerr, just yysymbol_name with the table inside.
        * tests/calc.at: Adjust.

        c: use yysymbol_name in traces
        Only parse.error verbose and simple will get the original yytname: the
        other options will rely on a different table.  So let's move on top of
        the yysymbol_name function.

        * data/skeletons/c.m4 (yy_symbol_print): Use yysymbol_name.
        * data/skeletons/glr.c (yytokenName): Rename as...
        (yysymbol_name): this.
        The change of naming scheme is unfortunate, but it's definitely glr.c
        which is "wrong".

2020-01-19  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        glr.c: move some functions after the definition of types
        Currently yy_symbol_print is defined before yytokenName, although it
        should use it instead of read yytname directly.  Move blocks around to
        avoid this.

        * data/skeletons/glr.c (yy_symbol_print): Move its definition after
        that of yytokenName.

        We could use a cast to avoid the warning, but it becomes too

        use YYPTRDIFF_T too, although this is an array of tokens, which is
        limited by YYNTOKENS, an int.  So let's completely avoid this warning.

        * data/skeletons/yacc.c, tests/local.at (yyreport_syntax_error): Avoid
        relying on sizeof to compute the array capacity.

        yacc.c: pass the parse-params to yyreport_syntax_error
        Enhance the calculator tests: show that passing arguments to yyerror
        works.

        * tests/calc.at: Add a new parse-param, nerrs, which counts the number
        of syntax errors in a run.
        * tests/local.at: Adjust to handle the new 'nerrs' argument, when
        present.

        The custom error reporting function show sees the user's additional
        arguments.  Let's experiment with passing them as arguments to
        yyreport_syntax_error, but maybe storing them in the context would be
        a bettter alternative.

        * data/skeletons/yacc.c (yyreport_syntax_error): Handle the
        parse-params.

        tests: a clearer test for parse-params
        Currently the parse-params are tested in calc.at by checking that the
        global variable and the parse-params have the same value.  But it does
        not check that value, that could remain being 0 just as well.

        * tests/calc.at: Don't define the params when they are not used.
        Check the final value of result and count.
        Also, do count the number of line of logs.

        yacc: restructure and fix yysyntax_error
        I would like to offer new ways to build the error message.  As a first
        step, let's simplify yysyntax_error whose first loop does two things
        at the same time: (i) collect the tokens to be reported in the error
        message, and (ii) accumulate their sizes and possibly return
        "overflow".  Let's pull (ii) in a second step.

        Then test 525 (regression.at:1193: parse.error=verbose overflow)
        failed.  This test checks that we correctly report "memory overflow"
        when the error message is too large.  However the test is mistaken: it
        is triggered in a place where there are five (large) expected tokens,
        so anyway we would not display them, so there is no (memory) overflow
        here!  Transform this test to (i) check that indeed there is no
        overflow, and (ii) create syntax_error3 which does check the intended
        behavior, but with four expected tokens.

        * data/skeletons/yacc.c (yysyntax_error): First compute the list of
        arguments, then compute yysize.
        * tests/regression.at (parse.error=verbose overflow): Enhance and fix.

        c++: beware of short ranges for state numbers
        Now that we use small integral types, possibly unsigned (e.g.,
        unsigned char), to store state numbers, using -1 to denote an empty
        state (i.e., a state that stores no semantical value) is very
        dangerous: it will be confused with state 255, which might be
        non-empty.

        Rather than allocating a larger range of state numbers to keep the
        empty-state apart, let's use the number of a state known to store no
        value.  The initial state, numbered 0, seems to fit perfectly the job.

        https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2019-11/msg00016.html

        The cast is needed when yytranslate_'s argument type is token_type,
        i.e., when api.token.constructor is defined.

                         ~ ^  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
            1 error generated.

        It is because it is expected that when api.token.constructor is
        defined, only symbol constructors will be used, that yytranslate_ then
        takes a token_type.  But it is wrong: we still allow literal
        characters in this case, as demonstrated by test 373 for instance.

            %define api.value.type variant
            %define api.token.constructor
            %token <std::pair<int, int>> '1' '2';
            [...]
            static yy::parser::symbol_type yylex ()
            {
              static char const input[] = "12";
              int res = input[toknum++];
              typedef yy::parser::symbol_type symbol;
              if (res)
                return symbol (res, std::make_pair (res - '0', res - '0' + 1));
              else
                return symbol (res);
            }

        So let yytranslate_ always take an int, which makes the cast truly
        useless.

        c++: remove useless cast about yyeof_
        Reported by Frank Heckenbach.

        * data/skeletons/c++.m4 (b4_yytranslate_define): Don't use yyeof_ as
        if it had two different types.
        It is used once against the input argument, which is the value
        returned by yylex, which is an "external token number", typically an
        int.  It is also used as output type, an "internal symbol number".
        It turns out that in both cases we mean "0", but let's keep yyeof_
        only for the case "internal symbol number", i.e., _after_ conversion
        by yytranslate.
        This frees us from one cast.

        yacc.c, glr.c: fix crash when reporting errors in consistent states
        The current code for yysyntax_error for %define parse.error verbose is
        fishy (given that YYEMPTY is -2, invalid argument for yytname[]):

            static int
            yysyntax_error ([...])
            {
              YYPTRDIFF_T yysize0 = yytnamerr (YY_NULLPTR, yytname[yytoken]);
            [...]
              if (yytoken != YYEMPTY)

        A nearby comment reports

            The only way there can be no lookahead present (in yychar) is if
            this state is a consistent state with a default action.  Thus,
            detecting the absence of a lookahead is sufficient to determine
            that there is no unexpected or expected token to report.  In that
            case, just report a simple "syntax error".

        So it _is_ possible to call yysyntax_error with yytoken == YYEMPTY,
        albeit quite difficult when meaning to, so virtually impossible by
        accident (after all, there was never a bug report about this).

        I failed to produce a test case, but Joel E. Denny provided me with
        one (added to the test suite below).  The yacc.c skeleton fails on
        this, and once fixed dies on a second problem.  The glr.c skeleton was
        also dying, but immediately of this second problem.

        Indeed we were not allocating space for the error message's final \0.
        This was hidden by the fact that we only had error messages with at
        least an unexpected token displayed, so with at least one "%s" in the
        format string, whose size (2) was included (incorrectly) in the final
        size of the message (where the %s have been replaced by the actual
        content).

        * data/skeletons/glr.c, data/skeletons/yacc.c (yysyntax_error):
        Do not invoke yytnamerr on YYEMPTY.
        Clarify the computation of the length of the _final_ error message,
        with the NUL terminator but without the '%s's.

        doc: don't promote dangling aliases
        String literals as tokens serve two distinct purposes: freeing from
        having to implement the keyword matching in the scanner, and improving
        error messages.  Most of the time both can be achieved at the same
        time, but on occasions, it does not work so well.

        We promote their use for error messages.  We will also still support
        the former case, but it is _not_ the recommended approach.

        diagnostics: complain about undeclared string tokens
        String literals, which allow for better error messages, are (too)
        liberally accepted by Bison, which might result in silent errors.  For
        instance

            %type <exVal> cond "condition"

        does not define “condition” as a string alias to 'cond' (nonterminal
        symbols do not have string aliases).  It is rather equivalent to

            %nterm <exVal> cond
            %token <exVal> "condition"

        i.e., it gives the type 'exVal' to the "condition" token, which was
        clearly not the intention.

        Introduce -Wdangling-alias to catch this.

2019-10-24  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        lalr1.cc: use computed state types
        This skeleton uses a single stack of state structures, so it is less
        likely to benefit from a stack size reduction than yacc.c (which uses
        several stacks: state number, value and location).  But it will reduce
        the size of the LAC stack.

        This skeleton was already using int for state numbers, so, contrary to
        yacc.c, this brings nothing for large automata.

        Overall, it is still nicer to make the skeletons alike.

        * src/parse-gram.y: Include intprops.h.
        (handle_require): Don’t indulge in undefined behavior if the major
        or minor number is out of range.  Instead, check that the
        resulting value is nonnegative, fits in int, and that the minor
        number is less than 100.  Also, check that a number was parsed.

        c: port YY_ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED to Sun C 5.12
        Sun C 5.12 defines __SUNPRO_C to 0x5120 but diagnoses
        ‘__attribute__ ((__unused__))’.  Change the ifdefs to use
        the same method as Gnulib in this area.
        * data/skeletons/c.m4 (YY_ATTRIBUTE): Remove, since
        not all attributes were added in the same compiler version.
        (YY_ATTRIBUTE_PURE, YY_ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED):
        Use specific GCC version for each attribute.
        Pay no attention to __SUNPRO_C.
        * tests/headers.at (Several parsers): Tighten tests accordingly.

        c: improve port of stdint.h usage to pre-C99
        Oracle Solaris Studio 12.3 (Sun C 5.12 2011/11/16) by default does
        not conform to C99; it defines __STDC_VERSION__ to be 199409L, so
        the Bison code does not include <stdint.h> (not required by C89
        amendment 1) even though this compiler does have <stdint.h>.  On
        this platform <limits.h> defines INT_LEAST8_MAX (POSIX allows
        this) so the skeleton got confused and thought that <stdint.h> had
        been included even though it wasn’t.
        * data/skeletons/c.m4 (b4_c99_int_type_define) [!__PTRDIFF_MAX__]:
        Always include <limits.h>.
        (YY_STDINT_H): Define when <stdint.h> was included.
        All uses of expressions like ‘defined INT_LEAST8_MAX’ changed to
        ‘defined YY_STDINT_H’, since Sun C 5.12 <limits.h> defines macros
        like INT_LEAST8_MAX but does not declare types like int_least8_t.

        c: improve patch for UCHAR_MAX etc. problem
        * data/skeletons/c.m4 (b4_c99_int_type_define): Reorder to put the
        signed types first, since they’re simpler and this keeps similar
        code closer.  For signed types, don’t bother checking whether the
        type promotes to int since the type must be signed anyway.  For
        unsigned types, protect a test like ‘UCHAR_MAX <= INT_MAX’ with
        ‘!defined __UINT_LEAST8_MAX__’, as otherwise the logic is wrong
        for oddball platforms; and once we do that, there should no need
        for ‘defined INT_MAX’ so remove that.

        There might be something to do in gnulib about this, but I believe
        that gnulib should not be used in the test suite in the first place.

        The test suite should work with other compilers than the one used to
        compile the package.  For a start, Bison sources are more
        demanding (C99) than the generated parsers.  Last time I tried, tcc
        for example, was not able to compile Bison, yet our generated parsers
        should compile cleanly with it.

        Besides the problem at hand is with the C++ compiler, with is not the
        one used to set up gnulib at configuration-time (config.h is mainly
        built from probing the C compiler).

        We should really not depend on gnulib in tests.

        This was introduced in 2001 to check whether including
        stdlib.h/string.h is safe thanks to STDC_HEADERS
        (2ce1014469742b5c6618daf8506b69e38787c7d5).  Today, we assume at least
        a C90 compiler, it should be safe enough.

        * tests/local.at, tests/testsuite.h: Do not include config.h.
        * tests/atlocal.in (conftest.cc): Likewise.
        (CPPFLAGS): Do not expose lib/, as because of this we might picked up
        gnulib replacement headers for system headers.

        * tests/input.at: Use int instead of ptrdiff_t, for easier portability
        (some machine on the CI did not find ptrdiff_t).
        * tests/c++.at: Add missing include for getchar.

        This changes the Yacc skeleton to use “least” integer types to

        If available, use GCC predefined macros __INT_MAX__ etc. to select

        available fall back on selecting a “least” type via the C99 macros
        INT_MAX, INT_LEAST8_MAX, etc.  Otherwise, fall further back on one of
        the builtin C99 types signed char, short, and int.  Make sure that
        any selected type promotes to int.  Ignore any macros YYTYPE_INT16,
        YYTYPE_INT8, YYTYPE_UINT16, YYTYPE_UINT8 defined by the user.
        (ptrdiff_t, PTRDIFF_MAX): Simplify in the light of the above.
        (yytype_uint8, yytype_uint16): Do not assume that unsigned char
        and unsigned short promote to int, as this isn’t true on some
        platforms (e.g., TI TMS320C55x).

        diagnostics: sort symbols per location
        Because the checking of the grammar is made by phases after the whole
        grammar was read, we sometimes have diagnostics that look weird.  In
        some case, within one type of checking, the entities are not checked
        in the order in which they appear in the file.  For instance, checking
        symbols is done on the list of symbols sorted by tag:

            foo.y:1.20-22: warning: symbol BAR is used, but is not defined as a token and has no rules [-Wother]
                1 | %destructor {} QUX BAR
                  |                    ^~~
            foo.y:1.16-18: warning: symbol QUX is used, but is not defined as a token and has no rules [-Wother]
                1 | %destructor {} QUX BAR
                  |                ^~~

        Let's sort them by location instead:

            foo.y:1.16-18: warning: symbol 'QUX' is used, but is not defined as a token and has no rules [-Wother]
                1 | %destructor {} QUX BAR
                  |                ^~~
            foo.y:1.20-22: warning: symbol 'BAR' is used, but is not defined as a token and has no rules [-Wother]
                1 | %destructor {} QUX BAR

        style: simplify the handling of symbol and semantic_type tables
        Both are stored in a hash, and back in the days, we used to iterate
        over these tables using hash_do_for_each.  However, the order of
        traversal was not deterministic, which was a nuisance for
        deterministic output (and therefore also a problem for tests).  So at
        some point (83b60c97ee1f98bb1f15ffa38acdc4cc765515f5) we generated a
        sorted list of these symbols, and symbols_do actually iterated on that
        list.  But we kept the constraints of using hash_do_for_each, which
        requires a lot of ceremonial code, and makes it hard/unnatural to
        preserve data between iterations (see the next commit).

        Alas, this is C, not C++.

        Let's remove this abstraction, and directly iterate on the sorted
        tables.

        * src/symtab.c (symbols_do): Remove.
        Adjust callers to use a simple for-loop instead.
        (table_sort): New.
        (symbols_check_defined): Use it.
        (symbol_check_defined_processor, symbol_pack_processor)
        (semantic_type_check_defined_processor, symbol_translation_processor):
        Remove.
        Simplify the corresponding functions (that no longer need to return a
        bool).

        diagnostics: display suggested update after the caret-info
        This commit adds the suggestion in green, on the line below the
        caret-and-tildes.

            foo.y:1.1-14: warning: deprecated directive: '%error-verbose', use '%define parse.error verbose' [-Wdeprecated]

                  | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                  | %define parse.error verbose

        The current approach, with location_caret_suggestion, is fragile:
        there's a protocol of calls to the complain functions which is strict.
        We should rather have a richer structure describing the diagnostics,
        including with submessages such as the suggestions, passed in the end
        to the routines in charge of formatting and printing them.

        * src/location.h, src/location.c (location_caret_suggestion): New.

        Currently we properly use the "best" integral type for tables,
        including those storing state numbers.  However the variables for
        state numbers used in yyparse (and its dependencies such as
        yy_stack_print) still use int16_t invariably.  As a consequence, very
        large models overflow these variables.

        Let's use the "best" type for these variables too.  It turns out that
        we can still use 16 bits for twice larger automata: stick to unsigned
        types.

        However using 'unsigned' when 16 bits are not enough is troublesome
        and generates tons of warnings about signedness issues.  Instead,
        let's use 'int'.

        diagnostics: learn how to count column number with multibyte chars
        So far diagnostics were cheating: in addition to the 'column' field of
        locations (based on actual screen width per multibyte characters and
        on tabulation expansion), the scanner sets the 'byte' field.
        Diagnostics used this byte count to decide where to insert (color)
        style.

        We want to be able to truncate the quoted lines when there are too
        wide to fit the screen.  This requires that the diagnostics learn how
        to count columns, the byte-in-boundary trick no longer works.

        Bytes are still used for fix-its.

        * src/location.c (caret_info): We need an mbfile.
        (caret_set_file): Initialize it.
        (caret_getc): Convert to mbfile.
        (location_caret): Instead of relying on the byte position to decide

        boundary_compute.

        diagnostics: extract boundary_compute from location_compute
        The handling of the contributions of the tabulations in the columns is
        burried inside location_compute.  We will soon be willing to use the
        boundary part of the computation (to compute the current column number
        each time we read a multibyte char).

        api.token.raw: implement
        Bison used to feature %raw, documented as follows:

            @item %raw
            The output file @file{@var{name}.h} normally defines the tokens with
            Yacc-compatible token numbers.  If this option is specified, the
            internal Bison numbers are used instead.  (Yacc-compatible numbers start
            at 257 except for single character tokens; Bison assigns token numbers
            sequentially for all tokens starting at 3.)

        Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, it never worked: token numbers
        are indeed changed in the generated tables (from external token number
        to internal), yet the code was still applying the mapping from
        external token numbers to internal token numbers.

        This commit reintroduces the feature as it was expected to be.

        diagnostics: beware of unexpected EOF when quoting the source file
        When the input file contains lone CRs (aka, ^M, \r), the locations see
        a new line.  Diagnostics look only at \n as end-of-line, so sometimes
        there is an offset in diagnostics.  Worse yet: sometimes we loop
        endlessly waiting for \n to come from a continuous stream of EOF.

        Fix that:
        - check for EOF
        - beware not to call end_use_class if begin_use_class was not
          called (which would abort).  This could happen if the actual
          line is shorter that the expected one.

        When Bison is started with a flag that suppresses warning messages, the
        error_message() function can produce a few gigabytes of indentation
        because of a dangling pointer.

        check for memory exhaustion
        hash_initialize returns NULL when out of memory.  Check for it, and
        die cleanly instead of crashing.

        https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2019-08/msg00007.html

        When Bison is started with a flag that suppresses warning messages, the
        error_message() function can produce a few gigabytes of indentation
        because of a dangling pointer.

        * src/complain.c (error_message): Don't reset indent_ptr here, but...

        %fixed-output-files: detach from %yacc
        The name fixed-output-files is pretty clear: generate y.tab.c, as Yacc
        does.  So let's detach this from %yacc which does more: it requires
        POSIX Yacc behavior.

        This directive is obsolete since December 29th 2001
        8c9a50bee13474c1491df8f79f075f5214dda0d1.  It does not show in the
        doc.  I don't want to spend more time on improving its diagnostics, it
        could be removed just as well as far as I'm concerned.

        Years ago we moved from 'look-ahead' to 'lookahead', and that alias

        See e3fdc370495ffdedadd6ac621e32e34a0e1a9de0: in C++ we generate
        explicitly the code for the default action instead of simply copying
        blindly the semantic value buffer.  This is important when copying
        raw memory is not enough, as exemplified by move-only types.

        This is currently tested by examples/c++/variant.yy and variant-11.yy.
        But it is safer to also have a test in the main test suite.

            Author: John Darrington <john@darrington.wattle.id.au>

        because it changes the messages for --version, translated in
        gnulib.po.  These changes are not yet available on the translation
        project, so we would have a regression in the set of translated

        diagnostics are not necessarily emitted in order, the fixits also come

2019-05-03  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        style: clarify the use of symbol_lists' locations
        symbol_list features a 'location' and a 'sym_loc' member.  The former
        is expected to be set only for symbol_lists that denote a symbol (not
        a type name), and the latter should only denote the location of the
        symbol/type name.  Yet both are set, and the name "location" is too
        unprecise.

        * src/symlist.h, src/symlist.c (symbol_list::location): Rename as
        rhs_loc for clarity.  Move it to the "section" of data valid only
        for rules.

        package: don't ship the sources generated from the parser
        Because some of our examples use

            %C%_reccalc_SOURCES = %D%/parse.y

        Automake ships parse.y and parse.c, and possibly parse.h when it
        "understands" that there is one.  This is not what we want: ship only
        parser.y.  Yet we still want to use Automake to compile the sources
        from parser.y.  The easiest seems to use

            nodist_%C%_reccalc_SOURCES = %D%/parse.y

        together with

            dist_reccalc_DATA = %D%/parse.y %D%/scan.l %D%/Makefile %D%/README.md

        prefix to run programs in the current directory.  That was so that we
        could run Java programs like the other, although they are no run with
        the `./` prefix (see 967a59d2c08a33f24708450561e2f8010b604523).
        As a consequence this sc check no longer makes sense.
        However, since now AT_PARSER_CHECK passes the `./` prefix itself, this
        sc-check was superfluous.

        diagnostics: better rule locations
        The "identifier and colon" of a rule is implemented as a single token,
        but whose location is only that of the identifier (so that messages
        about the lhs of a rule are accurate).  When reducing empty rules, the
        default location is the single point location on the end of the
        previous symbol.  As a consequence, when Bison parses a grammar, the
        location of the right-hand side of an empty rule is based on the
        lhs, *independently of the position of the colon*.  And the colon can
        be way farther, separated by comments, white spaces, including empty
        lines.

        As a result, some messages look really bad.  For instance:

            $ cat foo.y
            %%
            foo     : /* empty */
            bar
            : /* empty */

        gives

            $ bison -Wall foo.y
            foo.y:2.4: warning: empty rule without %empty [-Wempty-rule]
                2 | foo     : /* empty */
                  |    ^
            foo.y:3.4: warning: empty rule without %empty [-Wempty-rule]
                3 | bar
                  |    ^

        The carets are not at the right column, not even the right line.

        This commit passes the colon "again" after the "id colon" token, which
        gives more accurate locations for these messages:

            $ bison -Wall foo.y
            foo.y:2.10: warning: empty rule without %empty [-Wempty-rule]
                2 | foo     : /* empty */
                  |          ^
            foo.y:4.2: warning: empty rule without %empty [-Wempty-rule]

                  |  ^

        Because the fix-its were ready the character-based columns, but were

        diagnostics: fix the handling of multibyte characters
        This is a pity: efforts were invested in computing correctly the
        number of screen columns consumed by multibyte characters, but the
        routines that do that were fed by single-byte inputs...

        As a consequence Bison never displayed correctly locations when there
        are multibyte characters.

        diagnostics: fix styling issues
        Single point locations (equal boundaries) are troublesome, and we were
        incorrectly ending the style in their case.  Which results in an abort
        in libtextstyle.

        There is also a confusion between columns as displayed on the
        screen (which take into account multibyte characters and tabulations),
        and the number of bytes.  Counting the screen-column
        incrementally (character by character) is uneasy (because of multibyte
        characters), and I don't want to maintain a buffer of the current line
        when displaying the diagnostic.  So I believe the simplest solution is
        to track the byte number in addition to the screen column.

        * src/location.h, src/location.c (boundary): Add the byte-column.

        this is incorrect: the file name is double quotes (a recent change,
        needed to make sure we escape properly double quotes in it).  And

        lalr: don't overbook memory
        I never understood why we book ngotos+1 slots for relations between
        gotos: there are at most ngotos images, not ngotos+1 (and "includes"
        does have cases where a goto is in relation with itself, so it's not
        ngotos-1).

        Maybe bbf37f2534a8e5a6b4e28047f0a10903e6dc73f9 explains the +1: a bug
        left us register a goto several times on occasion, and the +1 might
        have been a means to avoid this problem in most cases.  Now that this
        bug is addressed, we should no longer overbook memory, if only for the
        clarity of the code ("why ngotos+1 instead of ngotos?").

        * src/lalr.c: A goto has at most ngotos images, not ngotos+1.

        lalr: fix segmentation violation
        The "includes" relation [DeRemer 1982] is between gotos, so of course,
        for a given goto, there cannot be more that ngotos (number of gotos)
        images.  But we manipulate the set of images of a goto as a list,
        without checking that an image was not already introduced.  So we can
        "register" way more images than ngotos, leading to a crash (heap
        buffer overflow).

        style: rename spec_defines_file as spec_header_file
        The variable spec_defines_file denotes the name of the generated
        header.  Its name is derived from --defines/%defines, whose name in
        turn is derived from the fact that the header, in Yacc, contained the

        Not only does the header now contain a lot more than just the token
        definitions, but we no longer even generate macros, but an enum...

        Let's modernize our vocabulary.

        * src/files.h, src/files.c (spec_defines_file): Rename as...
        (spec_header_file): this.

2019-03-17  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        yacc.c: provide a means to include the header in the implementation
        Currently when --defines is used, we generate a header, and paste an
        exact copy of it into the generated parser implementation file.  Let's
        provide a means to #include it instead.

        We don't do it by default because of the Autotools' ylwrap.  This
        program wraps invocations of yacc (that uses a fixed output name:
        y.tab.c, y.tab.h, y.output) to support a more modern naming
        scheme (dir/foo.y -> dir/foo.tab.c, dir/foo.tab.h, etc.).  It does
        that by renaming the generated files, and then by running sed to
        propagate these renamings inside the files themselves.

        Unfortunately Automake's Makefiles uses Bison as if it were Yacc (with
        --yacc or with -o y.tab.c) and invoke bison via ylwrap.  As a
        consequence, as far as Bison is concerned, the output files are
        y.tab.c and y.tab.h, so it emits '#include "y.tab.h"'.  So far, so
        good.  But now ylwrap processes this '#include "y.tab.h"' into
        '#include "dir/foo.tab.h"', which is not guaranteed to always work.

        So, let's do the Right Thing when the output file is not y.tab.c, in
        which case the user should %define api.header.include.  Binding this
        behavior to --yacc is tempting, but we recently told people to stop
        using --yacc (as it also enables the Yacc warnings), but rather to use
        -o y.tab.c.

        Yacc.c is the only skeleton concerned: all the others do include their
        header.

        * data/skeletons/yacc.c (b4_header_include_if): New.

        yacc.c: emit the header before the implementation file
        * data/skeletons/yacc.c: here.
        This is more logical for the time stamps, but it's also required by
        following patches: the shared declarations are also in charge of
        handling api.value.type=union.  So far, they are run in the
        implementation file in both cases (with or without header).  But if we
        run them only in the header, then the implementation file is emited
        with incorrect support for api.value.type=union.
        Arguably we should not have such dependencies.  This is because we
        have side-effects in our backend (redefining the symbols' type and
        type_tag).  In the future we should find a better solution for this,
        without sacrificing the independence of the backend from bison
        itself (i.e., I don't think we should handle api.value.type=union in
        bison, leave it to m4).

2019-03-16  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        simplify the generated #line
        Currently we generate things like:

            #line 683 "src/parse-gram.y" /* yacc.c:316  */

        The first part is of course very important: compilers point the users
        to their grammar file rather than into the generated parser.  The
        second part points to the place in the skeletons that generated this
        piece of code.

        This dependency on the Bison skeletons generates lots of useless 'git
        diff'.  This location is useless for the regular user (who does not
        care about the skeletons) and is actually not useful for Bison
        developpers too (I never used this to locate the code in skeletons
        that generated output).  So disable it completely.  If someone thinks
        this was actually useful, a %define variable should be provided to
        control the level of verbosity of '#line', in replacement of
        --no-lines.

        So now, generate:

            #line 683 "src/parse-gram.y"

        * data/skeletons/bison.m4 (b4_sync_end): Emit nothing.

        transition).
        This allows to turn an obscure 'while'-loop in a clearer (IMHO)
        'for'-loop.  We also consume more variables (by introducing p instead
        of making more side effects on length), but we're in 2019, I don't
        think this matters.  What does matter is that (IMHO again), this is

        doc: a single space before closing comments
        I don't think this style:

            /* If buffer is full, make it bigger.        */
            if (i == length)
              {
                length *= 2;
                symbuf = (char *) realloc (symbuf, length + 1);
              }
            /* Add this character to the buffer.         */
            symbuf[i++] = c;
            /* Get another character.                    */
            c = getchar ();

        or more readable than

            /* If buffer is full, make it bigger. */
            if (i == length)
              {
                length *= 2;
                symbuf = (char *) realloc (symbuf, length + 1);
              }
            /* Add this character to the buffer. */
            symbuf[i++] = c;
            /* Get another character. */
            c = getchar ();

        Actually, I think the latter is more readable, and helps with width
        issues in the PDF.  As a matter of fact, I would happily move to //
        only for single line comments.

        report: clean up its format
        The format is inconsistent.  For instance most sections are
        indented (including "Terminals unused in grammar" for instance), but
        the sections "Terminals, with rules where they appear" and
        "Nonterminals, with rules where they appear" are not.  Let's indent
        them.  Also, these two sections try to wrap the output to avoid lines
        too long.  Yet we don't do that in the rest of the file, for instance
        when listing the lookaheads of an item.

        For instance in the case of Bison's parse-gram.output we go from:

        NEWS: named constructors are preferable to symbol_type ctors
        Reported by Frank Heckenbach.
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2019-01/msg00043.html

2019-02-03  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        gram: fix handling of nterms in actions when some are unused
        Since Bison 3.3, semantic values in rule actions (i.e., '$...') are
        passed to the m4 backend as the symbol number.  Unfortunately, when
        there are unused symbols, the symbols are renumbered _after_ the
        numbers were used in the rule actions.  As a result, the evaluation of
        the skeleton failed because it used non existing symbol numbers.
        Which is the happy scenario: we could use numbers of other existing
        symbols...

        Reported by Balázs Scheidler.
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2019-01/msg00044.html

        Translating the rule actions after the symbol renumbering moves too
        many parts in bison.  Relying on the symbol identifiers is more
        troublesome than it might first seem: some don't have an
        identifier (tokens with only a literal string), some might have a
        complex one (tokens with a literal string with characters special for
        M4).  Well, these are tokens, but nterms also have issues: "dummy"
        nterms (for midrule actions) are named $@32 etc. which is risky for
        M4.

        Instead, let's simply give M4 the mapping between the old numbers and
        the new ones.  To avoid confusion between old and new numbers, always
        emit pre-renumbering numbers as "orig NUM".

        * data/README: Give details about "orig NUM".
        * data/skeletons/bison.m4 (__b4_symbol, _b4_symbol): Resolve the
        "orig NUM".

        closure: initialize it once for all
        The memory allocated by 'closure' (and some data such as 'fderives')
        is used to computed a state's full itemset from its core.  This is
        needed during the construction of the LR(0) automaton, and the memory
        is reclaimed immediately afterwards.

        Unfortunately the reports (graph, text, xml) also need this
        information when describing the states with their full itemsets.  As a
        consequence the memory was allocated again, fderives computed again
        too, and more --trace reports are generated which only duplicate what
        was already reported.

        Stop that.  It does mean that we release the memory later (hence the
        peak memory usage is higher now), but I don't think that's a problem
        today.

        * src/lr0.c (generate_states): Don't call closure_free.
        * src/state.c (states_free): Do it here.

        the closure module to be functional.

        lr0: use a bitset for the set of "shiftable symbols"
        This will make it easier to add new elements (that might already be
        part of shift_symbol) without having to worry about the size of
        shift_symbol (which is currently a fixed size vector).

        I could not measure any significant differences in performances in the
        generation of LR(0) automaton (benched on gramamrs of Ruby, C, and C++).

        * src/lr0.c (shift_symbol): Make it a bitset.

        It is inconvenient that we also generate the output files when we

        c++: address -Wweak-vtables warnings
        Reported by Derek Clegg
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2019-01/msg00021.html

            aux/parser-internal.h:429:12: error: 'syntax_error' has no out-of-line virtual
                 method definitions; its vtable will be emitted in every translation unit
                 [-Werror,-Wweak-vtables]
               struct syntax_error : std::runtime_error

        To avoid this warning, we need syntax_error to have a virtual function
        defined in a compilation unit.  Let it be the destructor.  To comply
        with C++98, this dtor should be 'throw()'.  Merely making YY_NOEXCEPT
        be 'throw()' in C++98 triggers
        errors (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2019-01/msg00022.html),
        so let's introduce YY_NOTHROW and flag only ~syntax_error with it.

        Also, since we now have an explicit dtor, we need to provide an copy
        ctor.

        * configure.ac (warn_cxx): Add -Wweak-vtables.
        * data/skeletons/c++.m4 (YY_NOTHROW): New.

        c++: avoid -Wundefined-func-template warnings from clang
        Reported by Derek Clegg.
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2019-01/msg00006.html

        Clang does not like this:

            template <typename D>
            struct basic_symbol : D
            {
              basic_symbol();
            };

            struct by_type {};

            struct symbol_type : basic_symbol<by_type>
            {
              symbol_type(){}
            };

        It gives:

            $ clang++-mp-7.0 -Wundefined-func-template foo.cc -c
            foo.cc:11:3: warning: instantiation of function 'basic_symbol<by_type>::basic_symbol'

              symbol_type(){}
              ^
            1 warning generated.

        The same applies for the basic_symbol's destructor and `clear()`.

        * configure.ac (warn_cxx): Add -Wundefined-func-template.
        This triggered one failure in the test suite:

        diagnostics: improve the accuracy for %error-verbose
        Avoid duplicate warnings about %error-verbose, once for deprecation,
        another for duplicate.  Keep only the duplicate warning for the second
        occurrence of %error-verbose.

        This will help removal fixits.

        diagnostics: avoid duplicate warnings for deprecated directives
        Currently, on

            %define parser_class_name "Parser"
            %%
            exp:;

        we issue:

            foo.y:1.9-25: warning: deprecated directive, use '%define api.parser.class {Parser}' [-Wdeprecated]
             %define parser_class_name "Parser"
                     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
            foo.y:2.9-25: warning: deprecated directive, use '%define api.parser.class {Parser}' [-Wdeprecated]
             %define parser_class_name "Parser"
                     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
            foo.y:2.9-25: error: %define variable 'api.parser.class' redefined
             %define parser_class_name "Parser"

            foo.y:1.9-25:     previous definition
             %define parser_class_name "Parser"
                     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        Let's get rid of the second warning about the deprecated variable
        parser_class_name.  This is noise, but it will also be a problem with
        fixits for removing duplicates, as we will first generate the update,
        and then it's too late to remove it: fixits do not edit the result of
        previous fixits.

        So generate this instead:

            foo.y:1.1-34: warning: deprecated directive, use '%define api.parser.class {Parser}' [-Wdeprecated]
             %define parser_class_name "Parser"

             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
            foo.y:1.1-34:     previous definition
             %define parser_class_name "Parser"
             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        * src/muscle-tab.c (muscle_percent_variable_update): Pass the warning
        to the caller, instead of issuing it.
        (muscle_percent_define_insert): Issue this warning only if we don't

        diagnostics: improve them for %name-prefix
        Currently the diagnostics for %name-prefix are not precise enough.  In
        particular, they does not show that braces must be used instead of
        quotes.

        Before:

            foo.y:3.1-14: warning: deprecated directive, use '%define api.prefix' [-Wdeprecated]
             %name-prefix = "foo"
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

        After:

            foo.y:3.1-20: warning: deprecated directive, use '%define api.prefix {foo}' [-Wdeprecated]
             %name-prefix = "foo"
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

        To do this we need the value passed to %name-prefix, so move the
        warning from the scanner to the parser.

        Accuracy will be very important for the forthcoming changes.

        * src/parse-gram.y (do_name_prefix): New.

        java/d: remove useless macros
        There are many macros that are defined and used just
        once (b4_public_if, b4_abstract_if, etc.).  That's overkill.  Rather,
        let's define a macro to build the "public class YYParser" line.

        It appears that the same syntax with "extends", "abstract", etc. is
        implemented in the D parser, which looks very fishy...

        glr.cc: fix the handling of syntax_error from the scanner
        Commit 90a8537e6287f92fb3d5be0258a69247a742f12e was right, but issued
        two error messages.  Commit 80ef7e7639f99618bee490b2dea02b5fd9ab28e5
        tried to address that by mapping yychar and yytoken to empty, but that
        completely breaks the invariants of glr.c.  In particular, yygetToken
        can be called repeatedly and is expected to return the latest result,
        unless yytoken is YYEMPTY.  Since the previous attempt was "recording"
        that the token was coming from an exception by setting it to YYEMPTY,
        instead of getting again the faulty token, we fetched another one.

        Rather, revert to the first approach: map yytoken to "invalid token",
        but record in yychar the fact that we come from an exception thrown in
        the scanner.

        * data/skeletons/glr.c (YYFAULTYTOK): New.
        (yygetToken): Use it to record syntax errors from the scanner.
        * tests/c++.at (Syntax error as exception): In addition to checking
        syntax_error with error recovery, make sure it also behaves as

        style: glr.c: prefer returning a value rather than passing pointers
        This is very debatable.  This function is not pure at all, so it could
        stick to returning void: that's a common coding style to tell the
        difference between "real" (pure) functions and side-effecting
        subroutines.  However, we already have this style elsewhere (e.g.,
        yylex), and I feel the callers are somewhat nice to read this way.

        passing by pointer.

        c++: variants: fuse declarations and definitions
        We used to create a short definition of yy::parser with all the
        implementations of its member functions outside.  But yy::parser is no
        longer short and simple to read.  Maintaining each function twice is
        painful: a lot of redundancy but different indentation levels, output
        which depends on whether we are in a header or not (see
        d132c2d5455135f63a7497c38358eadd6e3a6af8), etc.

        Let's simplify this and put the implementations into the class
        definition itself.

        Discussed in this monologue:

        c++: move stack<T> inside yy::parser
        We used to define such auxiliary structures outside the class, mainly
        as a matter of style to keep the definition of yy::parser short and
        simple.  However, now there's a lot more code generated inside the
        class definition (e.g., all the token constructors), so the
        readability no longer applies.

        However, if we move stack (and slice) inside yy::parser, then it
        should no longer be needed to change the namespace to have multiple
        parsers: changing the class name should suffice.

        One common argument against inner classes is that they code bloat.  It
        hardly applies here, since typically different parsers will have
        different semantic value types, hence different actual stack types.

        * data/skeletons/lalr1.cc: Invoke b4_stack_define inside yy::parser.

        c++: exhibit a safe symbol_type
        Instead of introducing make_symbol (whose name, btw, somewhat
        infringes on the user's "name space", if she defines a token named
        "symbol"), let's make the construction of symbol_type safer, using
        assertions.

        For instance with:

            %token ':' <std::string> ID <int> INT;

        generate:

            symbol_type (int token, const std::string&);
            symbol_type (int token, const int&);
            symbol_type (int token);

        It does mean that now named token constructors (make_ID, make_INT,
        etc.) go through a useless assert, but I think we can ignore this: I
        assume any decent compiler will inline the symbol_type ctor inside the
        make_TOKEN functions, which will show that the assert is trivially
        verified, hence I expect no code will be emitted for it.  And anyway,
        that's an assert, NDEBUG controls it.

        basic_symbol<by_type>.

        c++: provide symbol constructors per type
        On

            %token <int> FOO BAR

        we currently generate make_FOO(int) and make_BAR(int).  However, in
        order to factor their scanners, some users would also like to have
        make_symbol(tok, int), where tok is FOO or BAR.  To ensure type
        safety, add assertions that do check that value type and token type
        match.  Bind this assertion to the parse.assert %define variable.

        symbols: clean up their parsing
        Prompted by Rici Lake.
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2018-10/msg00000.html

        We have four classes of directives that declare symbols: %nterm,
        %type, %token, and the family of %left etc.  Currently not all of them
        support the possibility to have several type tags (`<type>`), and not
        all of them support the fact of not having any type tag at all
        (%type).  Let's unify this.

        - %type
          POSIX Yacc specifies that %type is for nonterminals only.  However,
          some Bison users want to use it for both tokens and nterms
          (actually, Bison's own grammar does this in several places, e.g.,
          CHAR).  So it should accept char/string literals.

          As a consequence cannot be used to declare tokens with their alias:
          `%type foo "foo"` would be ambiguous (are we defining foo = "foo",
          or are these two different symbols?)

          POSIX specifies that it is OK to use %type without a type tag.  I'm
          not sure what it means, but we support it.

        - %token
          Accept token declarations with number and string literal:
          (ID|CHAR) NUM? STRING?.

        - %left, etc.
          They cannot be the same as %token, because we accept to declare the
          symbol with %token, and to then qualify its precedence with %left.
          Then `%left foo "foo"` would also be ambiguous: foo="foo", or two
          symbols.

          They cannot be simply a list of identifiers, but POSIX Yacc says we
          can declare token numbers here.  I personally think this is a bad
          idea, precedence management is tricky in itself and should not be
          cluttered with token declaration issues.

          We used to accept declaring a token number on a string literal here
          (e.g., `%left "token" 1`).  This is abnormal.  Either the feature is
          useful, and then it should be supported in %token, or it's useless
          and we should not support it in corner cases.

        - %nterm
          Obviously cannot accept tokens, nor char/string literals.  Does not
          exist in POSIX Yacc, but since %type also works for terminals, it is
          a nice option to have.

        * src/parse-gram.y: Avoid relying on side effects.  For instance, get
        rid of current_type, rather, build the list of symbols and iterate
        over it to assign the type.
        It's not always possible/convenient.  For instance, we still use
        current_class.
        Prefer "decl" to "def", since in the rest of the implementation we
        actually "declare" symbols, we don't "define" them.

        Use them for %token, %left, %type and %nterm.

        parser: reprecate %nterm back
        After having spent quite some time on cleaning the handling of symbol
        declarations in the grammar files, I believe we should keep it.

        It looks like it's a duplicate of %type, but it is not.  While POSIX
        Yacc requires %type to apply only to nonterminal symbols, it appears
        that both byacc and bison accept it for tokens too.  And some
        experienced users do actually expect this feature to group
        symbols (terminal or not) by type ("On the other hand, it is generally
        more useful IMHO to group terminals and non-terminals with the same
        type tag together",
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2018-10/msg00000.html).
        Even Bison's own parser does this today (see CHAR).

        parser: improve the error message for symbol class redefinition
        Currently our error messages include both "symbol redeclared" and
        "symbol redefined", and they mean something different.  This is
        obscure, let's make this clearer.

        I think the idea between 'definition' vs. 'declaration' is that in the
        case of the nonterminals, the actual definition is its set of rules,
        so %nterm would be about declaration.  The case of %token is less
        clear.

        backend: revamp the handling of symbol types
        Currently it is the front end that passes the symbol types to the
        backend.  For instance:

          %token <ival> NUM
          %type <ival> exp1 exp2
          exp1: NUM { $$ = $1; }
          exp2: NUM { $<ival>$ = $<ival>1; }

        In both cases, $$ and $1 are passed to the backend as having type
        'ival' resulting in code like `val.ival`.  This is troublesome in the
        case of api.value.type=union, since in that the case the code this:

          %define api.value.type union
          %token <int> NUM
          %type <int> exp1 exp2
          exp1: NUM { $$ = $1; }
          exp2: NUM { $<int>$ = $<int>1; }

        because in this case, since the backend does not know the symbol being
        processed, it is forced to generate casts in both cases: *(int*)(&val)`.
        This is unfortunate in the first case (exp1) where there is no reason
        at all to use a cast instead of `val.NUM` and `val.exp1`.

        So instead delegate the computation of the actual value type to the
        backend: pass $<ival>$ as `symbol-number, ival` and $$ as
        `symbol-number, MULL`, instead of passing `ival` before.

        * src/scan-code.l (handle_action_dollar): Find the symbol the action

        - commit d333175f63f402dbadb647175e40ad88bf1defb5
          Avoid compiler warning.

        Note that since these tables are not needed in the generated parsers,
        no skeleton requests them.  This change only brings back their
        definition to M4, making it possible to user-defined skeletons to use
        these tables.

        warning: avoid warnings about unreachable code
        Reported by Uxio Prego.
        https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-bison/2018-11/msg00031.html

        We also need to move the unreachable 'goto' to a reachable place,
        otherwise clang complains about the code being unreachable anyway.
        See also https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39736.

        Interestingly, we don't have to apply that trick to
        `#define YYCDEBUG if (false) std::cerr`, clang does not warn when the
        code comes from macro expansion.

        * configure.ac: Use -Wunreachable-code when supported.
        * data/lalr1.cc, data/yacc.c: Pacify clang's warning about `if (0)`
        by using a macro.
        Another possibility was to move this statement to a reachable place.

        yacc.c: avoid generating dead code
        We should probably introduce some struct and functions to deal with
        stack management, rather than open coding it.  yyparse would be much
        nicer to read, and a better model for possible other skeletons.

        * data/yacc.c (yyparse::yysetstate): Avoid generating code when
        neither yyoverflow nor YYSTACK_RELOCATE is defined.

        %expect: tune the number of conflicts per rule
        Currently on a grammar such as

            exp: "number" | exp "+" exp | exp "*" exp

        we count only one sr-conflict for both binary rules, i.e., we expect:

            exp: "number" | exp "+" exp  %expect 1 | exp "*" exp  %expect 1

        although there are 4 conflicts in total.  That's because in the states
        in conflict, for instance that for the "+" rule:

            State 6

                2 exp: exp . "+" exp
                2    | exp "+" exp .  [$end, "+", "*"]
                3    | exp . "*" exp

                "+"  shift, and go to state 4
                "*"  shift, and go to state 5

                "+"       [reduce using rule 2 (exp)]
                "*"       [reduce using rule 2 (exp)]
                $default  reduce using rule 2 (exp)

        we count only a single conflict, although there are two (one on "+"
        and another with "*").

2018-11-21  Paul Hilfinger  <hilfingr@eecs.berkeley.edu>

        allow %expect and %expect-rr modifiers on individual rules
        This change allows one to document (and check) which rules participate
        in shift/reduce and reduce/reduce conflicts.  This is particularly
        important GLR parsers, where conflicts are a normal occurrence.  For
        example,

            %glr-parser
            %expect 1
            %%

            ...

            argument_list:
              arguments %expect 1
            | arguments ','
            | %empty
            ;

            arguments:
              expression
            | argument_list ',' expression
            ;

            ...

        Looking at the output from -v, one can see that the shift-reduce
        conflict here is due to the fact that the parser does not know whether
        to reduce arguments to argument_list until it sees the token AFTER the
        following ','.  By marking the rule with %expect 1 (because there is a
        conflict in one state), we document the source of the 1 overall shift-
        reduce conflict.

        In GLR parsers, we can use %expect-rr in a rule for reduce/reduce
        conflicts.  In this case, we mark each of the conflicting rules.  For
        example,

            %glr-parser
            %expect-rr 1

            %%

            stmt:
              target_list '=' expr ';'
            | expr_list ';'
            ;

            target_list:
              target
            | target ',' target_list
            ;

            target:
              ID %expect-rr 1
            ;

            expr_list:
              expr
            | expr ',' expr_list
            ;

            expr:
              ID %expect-rr 1
            | ...
            ;

        In a statement such as

            x, y = 3, 4;

        the parser must reduce x to a target or an expr, but does not know
        which until it sees the '='.  So we notate the two possible reductions
        to indicate that each conflicts in one rule.

        c++: using macros around user types breaks when they include comma
        We may generate code such as

            basic_symbol (typename Base::kind_type t, YY_RVREF (std::pair<int,int>) v);

        which, of course, breaks, because YY_RVREF sees two arguments.  Let's
        not play tricks with _VA_ARGS__, I'm unsure about it portability.
        Anyway, I plan to change more things in this area.

        glr.c: fix use of _Noreturn
        In C++, [[noreturn]] must not be between "static" and the rest of the
        function signature, it must precede it.  C's _Noreturn does not seem
        to have such a constraint, but it is therefore compatible with the C++
        constraint.  Since we #define _Noreturn as [[noreturn]] is modern C++,
        be sure to push the _Noreturn first.

        Unfortunately this was not caught by the test suite, because it always
        loads config.h first, and config.h contains another definition of
        _Noreturn that does not use [[noreturn]], and hides ours.  That's
        probably a sign we should avoid always loading config.h.

2018-11-06  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        examples: ship them
        Currently, the examples are extracted on the user's side.
        Unfortunately, that requires that the user has Perl, which is
        otherwise not needed for Bison.  Let's ship the examples instead.

        The examples were handled this way so that we could depend on
        configure flags: if --enable-gcc-warnings is passed, it is understood
        as "I'm a maintainer", so the examples are generated with `#line`s.
        Regular users should not see them, so they are now unconditionally
        removed when rolling a tarball.

        c: provide a definition of _Noreturn that works for C++
        On Solaris, GCC 7.3 defines:

                              -std=c++14  -std=c++17
            __cplusplus       201402L       201703L
            __STDC_VERSION__  199901L       201112L

        So the current #definition of _Noreturn sees that 201112 <=
        __STDC_VERSION__, i.e., that C11 is supported, so it expects _Noreturn
        to be supported.  Apparently it is not.

        This is only for C++, the test suite works for C.  However, the test
        suite does not try several C standards, maybe we should...

        Reported by Derek Clegg.
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2018-10/msg00018.html

        Rather than adding casts, we should be more careful with types.  For
        instance yystate should be a yytype_int16.  But currently we can't: it
        is also used sometimes for storing other things that state numbers.

2018-10-22  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        yacc.c: clarify the computation of yystate
        The yacc.c skeleton is old, and was using many tricks to save
        registers.  Today's register allocators can do this themselves.  Let's
        keep the code simpler to read and let compilers do their job.

        * data/yacc.c: Avoid using yystate for different types of content.
        An inline function would be better, but doing this portably will be

        lalr1.cc: fix stack symbol move
        In some casing, once we moved a stack symbol, we forget to mark the

        a second time.

        This happens when the stack has to be resized.

        generate the default action only for C++
        This commit adds restrictions to what was done in
        01898726e27c8cf64f8fcea7f26f8ce62f3f5cf2 [1].

        Rici Lake [2] has shown that it's risky to disable the pre-action, at
        least now.  Also, generating the default $$ = $1 action can have bad
        effects in some cases [3].

        The original change [1] was prompted for C++.  Let's try it there
        only, for a start.  We could restrict it further to lalr1.cc with
        variants, but we need to see in the wild how this change behaves.  And
        it is not unreasonable to expect grammar files in C++ to behave better
        wrt types.

        C++: let %require "3.2" disable the generation of obsolete files
        The files stack.hh and position.hh are deprecated.  Rather than
        devoting specify %define variables to discard them (api.position.file
        and api.stack.file), and rather than having to use special rules when
        api.location.file is used, let's simply decide that from %require
        "3.2" onwards, these files will not be generated.

        The only noticeable thing here is that, in order to be able to check
        the behavior of %require "3.2", to have this version (which is still
        3.1-*) to accept %require "3.2".

        * data/location.cc, data/stack.hh: Replace the api.*.file with only
        required version comparison.
        * tests/input.at: No longer check api.stack.file and api.position.file.

        Document the %require 3.2 behavior.

        generate the default semantic action
        Currently, in C, the default semantic action is implemented by being
        always run before running the actual user semantic action.  As a
        consequence, when the user action is run, $$ is already set as $1.

        In C++ with variants, we don't do that, since we cannot manipulate the
        semantic value without knowing its exact type.  When variants are
        enabled, the only guarantee is that $$ is default contructed and ready
        to the used.

        Some users still would like the default action to be run with
        variants.  Frank Heckenbach's parser in
        C++17 (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2018-04/msg00011.html)
        provides this feature, but relying on std::variant's dynamic typing,
        which we forbid in lalr1.cc.

        The simplest seems to be actually generating the default semantic
        action (in all languages/skeletons).  This makes the pre-action (that
        sets $$ to $1) useless.  But...  maybe some users depend on this, in
        spite of the comments that clearly warn againt this.  So let's not
        turn this off just yet.

        * src/reader.c (grammar_rule_check_and_complete): Rename as...
        (grammar_rule_check_and_complete): this.
        Install the default semantic action when applicable.
        * examples/variant-11.yy, examples/variant.yy, tests/calc.at:
        Exercise the default semantic action, even with variants.

        and based on the result, put GNU or not in the following line from
        bison.pot:

            # This file is distributed under the same license as the GNU bison package.

        It turns out that in my environment some log files had the 'GNU bison'
        string (note the lower case), but in distcheck, these files are no
        longer visible, so the generate bison.pot was different, and distcheck
        failed because we try to update bison.pot, which is read only in
        distcheck.

        The heuristics should look accept 'GNU Bison', not just 'GNU bison'.
        But let's please it to make sure we have our 'GNU'.

        c++: provide a means to control how location.hh is included
        Users may want to generate the location file elsewhere, say
        $top_srcdir/include/ast/location.hh.  Yet, we should not generate
        `#include "$top_srcdir/include/ast/location.hh"` but probably
        something like `#include <ast/location.hh>`, or `#include
        "ast/location.hh", or `#include <location.hh>`.  It entirely depends
        on the compiler flags (-I/-isystem) that are used.  Bison cannot guess
        what is expected, so let's give the user a means to tell how the
        location file should be included.

        c++: support absolute api.location.file names
        In the case a user wants to create location.hh elsewhere, it can be
        helpful to define api.location.file to some possibly absolute path
        such as -Dapi.location.file='"$(top_srcdir)/include/ast/location.hh"'.
        Currently this does not work with `-o foo/parser.cc`, as we join foo/
        and $(top_srcdir) together, the latter starting with slash.

        We should not try to do that in m4, manipulating file names is quite
        complex when you through Windows file name in.  Let m4 delegate this
        to gnulib.

        c++: provide control over the stack.hh file name
        It was not a good idea to generate the file stack.hh.  It never was.
        But now we have to deal with backward compatibility: if we stop
        generating it, the build system of some build system will probably

        So offer the user a means to (i) decide what the name of the output
        file should be, and (ii) not generate this file at all (its content
        will be inline where the parser is defined).

        empty.
        In that case, use it as file name.
        * data/lalr1.cc: Adjust to include the right file, or to include
        the definition of stack.
        * tests/calc.at, tests/output.at: Exercise api.stack.file.

        tests: c++: don't fuse prefix and namespace
        They are not the same concept.  It appears that we still consider that
        api.prefix is the default for api.namespace.  We should stop that.

        * tests/local.at (AT_BISON_OPTION_PUSHDEFS, AT_BISON_OPTION_POPDEFS):
        Separate namespace and prefix.

        getargs: use LC_MESSAGES trick only on glibc
        * src/getargs.c (usage): Rely on setlocale (LC_MESSAGES, NULL)
        trick only on glibc, as POSIX does not specify the output
        of setlocale in this case, and the Gnulib localename module
        source code indicates that the trick works only on glibc.

2018-09-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>

        uniqstr: avoid need for VLAs
        C11 no longer requires support for variable-length arrays, and
        VS2015 does not have them.  Redo UNIQSTR_CONCAT to use a method
        that is simpler and better anyway.
        * src/uniqstr.c (uniqstr_vsprintf): Remove; no longer needed.
        * src/uniqstr.h (UNIQSTR_GEN_FORMAT, UNIQSTR_GEN_FORMAT_):
        * src/uniqstr.c (uniqstr_concat): New function.

        doc: clean up the C++ section
        * doc/bison.texi: Minor fixes in typography.
        It is no longer require to pass --defines for C++ (it was addressed
        long ago).
        No longer refer to the `variant` define variable, it was replaced by
        `api.value.type variant`.
        Prefer nullptr to 0 for the null pointer.
        Use deftypeop for constructors.
        (Complete Symbols): Give the expected signature of yylex.
        Don't document the symbol_type constructors, as we want users to focus
        on make_TOKEN.
        Also show the case without locations.

2018-09-24  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        CI: really use Clang 3.3 and 3.4, not 5.0
        * .travis.yml: Don't define CC/CXX, it does not work.
        Use `[[...]]` instead of `[...]`.
        Show the compiler versions.
        (Clang 3.3, Clang 3.4): Specify the path to avoid using
        /usr/local/clang-5.0.0/bin's clang.

        build: use our own version of ax_check_link_flag
        The message on configure is misleading:

            checking whether the linker accepts -std=c++11... yes
            checking whether the linker accepts -std=c++14... yes
            checking whether the linker accepts -std=c++17... no

        It is the compiler that we check, not just the linker.

        tests: fix a memory leak
        This has been bugging me for while.  I was hard to reproduce: it
        worked only on GNU/Linux, probably because libc++ implements the small
        string optimization, while libstdc++ did not and actually allocated on
        the heap for this small string.

        See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2018-09/msg00110.html.

        news: c++: move semantics

2018-09-22  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        c++: issue a warning with a value is moved several times

        c++: introduce api.value.automove
        Based on work by Frank Heckenbach.

2018-09-22  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        tests: c++: use a custom string type
        The forthcoming automove feature, to be properly checked, will require
        that we can rely on the value of a moved-from string, which is not
        something the C++ standard guarantees.  So introduce our own wrapper.

        Suggested by Frank Heckenbach.
        https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2018-09/msg00111.html

        * tests/c++.at (Variants): Introduce and use a new 'string' class.

2018-09-22  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        tests: prepare a test for automove
        The 'Variants' tests are well suited to check support for move, and in
        particular for the forthcoming automove feature.  But the tests were
        written to show the best practice in C++98, using swap:

            list "," item { std::swap ($$, $1); $$.push_back ($3); }

        This cannot work with std::move.  So, make this example simpler, based
        on regular assignment instead of swap, which is a regression for
        C++98 (as the new traces show), but will be an improvement for modern
        C++ with automove.

        * tests/c++.at (Variants): Stop using swap.
        We don't generate a header file, so remove the 'require' code section.
        Adjust expectations.

        tests: fight G++ warnings about zero as null pointer constant
        In C++ pre C++11 it is standard practice to use 0 for the null pointer.
        But GCC pre 8 -std=c++98 with -Wzero-as-null-pointer-constant warns about
        this.

        So disable -Wzero-as-null-pointer-constant when compiling C++ pre 11.
        Let's do this in AT_DATA_SOURCE_PROLOGUE (which is pasted on top of
        all the test grammar files).  Unfortunately, that shifts all the
        locations in the expected error messages, which would be too noisy.

        include it in AT_DATA_SOURCE_PROLOGUE.

        lalr1.cc: modern C++ no longer needs an assignment for symbols
        Reported by Frank Heckenbach.
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2018-03/msg00002.html

        Actually the assignment operator should never be needed: the C++98
        requirements for vector::push_back is CopyInsertable, which does not require
        an assignment operator.  However, libstdc++ shipped with GCC up to (and
        including) 6 uses the assignment operator (which affects Clang on top of
        libstdc++, but also ICC).  So let's keep it for legacy C++.

        See https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/q0XXmC.

        * data/lalr1.cc (stack_symbol_type::operator=): Remove.
        * data/c++.m4 (basic_symbol::operator=): Ditto.
        * tests/c++.at (C++ Variant-based Symbols Unit Tests): Adjust.

2018-09-13  Akim Demaille  <akim.demaille@gmail.com>

        lalr1.cc: support move semantics
        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.

2018-08-25  Jiahao Li  <jiahaoli@fb.com>

        variant: fix uninitialized memory access in `variant<>`
        Currently, in bison's C++ parser template (`lalr.cc`), the `variant<>`
        struct's `build()` method uses placement-new in the form `new (...) T`
        to initialize a variant type.  However, for POD variant types, this
        will leave the memory space uninitialized.  If we subsequently tries
        to `::move` into a variant object in such state, the call can trigger
        clang's undefined behavior sanitizer due to accessing the
        uninitialized memory.

        tests: disable -Wmaybe-uninitialized in some tests
        On these tests, at -O2 and above, GCC 8 complains that yylval may be
        uninitialized.  But it seems wrong: it is initialized.  Rather than
        turning off the warning in the skeleton (hence possibility hiding
        relevant warnings of user parsers), let's turn it off in the tests
        only.

            163: parse.error=verbose and consistent errors:      FAILED (conflicts.at:625)
            165: parse.error=verbose and consistent errors: lr.default-reduction=consistent FAILED (conflicts.at:635)
            166: parse.error=verbose and consistent errors: lr.default-reduction=accepting FAILED (conflicts.at:641)

            168: parse.error=verbose and consistent errors: parse.lac=full FAILED (conflicts.at:650)
            169: parse.error=verbose and consistent errors: parse.lac=full lr.default-reduction=accepting FAILED (conflicts.at:655)

        We get:

            input.c:980:9: error: 'yylval' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

        C++: fix portability issue with MSVC 2017
        Visual Studio issues a C4146 warning on '-static_cast<unsigned>(rhs)'.

        c++: fix GCC8 warnings about uninitialized values
        In 0931d14728fb4a2272399f2c927ae78e2607b4fb I removed too many
        initializations from some ctors: some were not about base ctors, but
        about member variables.  In fact, more of them were missing to please
        GCC 8.

        While at it, generate more natural code for C++ without variant:
        instead of

            template <typename Base>
            parser::basic_symbol<Base>::basic_symbol (const basic_symbol& other)
              : Base (other)
              , value ()
            {
              value = other.value
            }

        generate

            template <typename Base>
            parser::basic_symbol<Base>::basic_symbol (const basic_symbol& other)
              : Base (other)
              , value (other.value)
            {}

        * data/c++.m4 (basic_symbol::basic_symbol): Always initialize 'value',
        it might be a POD without a ctor.
        * data/lalr1.cc (stack_symbol_type::stack_symbol_type): Likewise.
        * data/variant.hh (variant::variant): Default initialize the buffer too.

        c++: avoid GCC 8 warnings
        GCC 8 issues warnings whose root cause was a bit hard to find.

            calc.cc: In member function 'virtual int yy::parser::parse()':
            calc.cc:810:18: warning: '*((void*)&<anonymous> +8)' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
                 , location (l)
                              ^
            calc.cc: In member function 'void yy::parser::yypush_(const char*, yy::parser::stack_symbol_type&)':
            calc.cc:810:18: warning: '*((void*)&<anonymous> +8)' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
                 , location (l)
                              ^
            calc.cc: In member function 'void yy::parser::yypush_(const char*, yy::parser::state_type, yy::parser::symbol_type&)':

                 , location (l)
                              ^

        The problem is with locations that don't have a constructor, such as
        Span (in calc.cc) which is POD.  It is POD on purpose: so that we can
        use that structure to test glr.cc which cannot use non POD in its
        (C) stacks.

        * data/c++.m4 (basic_symbol): Also ensure that 'location' is

        add support for typed mid-rule actions
        Prompted on Piotr Marcińczyk's message:
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2017-06/msg00000.html.
        See also http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2018-06/msg00001.html.

        Because their type is unknown to Bison, the values of midrule actions are
        not treated like the others: they don't have %printer and %destructor
        support.  In addition, in C++, (Bison) variants cannot work properly.

        Typed midrule actions address these issues.  Instead of:

            exp: { $<ival>$ = 1; } { $<ival>$ = 2; }   { $$ = $<ival>1 + $<ival>2; }

        write:

            exp: <ival>{ $$ = 1; } <ival>{ $$ = 2; }   { $$ = $1 + $2; }

        * src/scan-code.h, src/scan-code.l (code_props): Add a `type` field to
        record the declared type of an action.
        (code_props_rule_action_init): Add a type argument.
        * src/parse-gram.y: Accept an optional type tag for actions.
        * src/reader.h, src/reader.c (grammar_current_rule_action_append): Add
        a type argument.
        (grammar_midrule_action): When a mid-rule is typed, pass its type to
        the defined dummy non terminal symbol.

        lalr1, yacc: use the default location as initial error location
        Currently lalr1.cc makes an out-of-bound access when trying to read @1
        in rules with an empty rhs (i.e., when there is no @1) that raises an
        error (YYERROR).

        glr.c already gracefully handles this by using @$ as initial location
        for the errors.  Let's do that in yacc.c and lalr1.cc.

        * data/lalr1.cc, data/yacc.c: Use @$ to initialize the error location.

        tests: c++: fix a C++03 conformance issue
        This fixes test 241 on xLC:

        "input.y", line 42.11: 1540-0274 (S) The name lookup for "report" did not find a declaration.
        "input.y", line 42.11: 1540-1292 (I) Static declarations are not considered for a function call if the function is not qualified.

        where report is:

          static void
          report (std::ostream& yyo, int ival, float fval)
          {
            yyo << "ival: " << ival << ", fval: " <<  fval;
          }

        and line 42 is:

          %printer { report (yyo, $$,       $<fval>$); } <ival>;

        It turns out that indeed this function must not be declared static,
        <http://stackoverflow.com/a/17662745/1353549>.  Let's put it into an

        c++: reserve 200 slots in the parser's stack
        This is consistent with what is done with yacc.c and glr.c.  Because
        it also avoids that the stack needs to be resized very soon, it should
        help keeping tests about destructors more reliable.

        Indeed, if the stack is created too small, very soon the C++ library
        needs to enlarge it, which means creating a new one, copying the
        elements from the initial one onto it, and then destroy the elements
        of the initial stack: that would be a spurious call to a destructor.

        reduce: don't complain about rules whose lhs is useless
        In the following grammar, the 'exp' nonterminal is trivially useless.
        So, of course, its rules are useless too.

            %%
            input: '0' | exp
            exp: exp '+' exp | exp '-' exp | '(' exp ')'

        Previously all the useless rules were reported, including those whose
        left-hand side is the 'exp' nonterminal:

            warning: 1 nonterminal useless in grammar [-Wother]
            warning: 4 rules useless in grammar [-Wother]
            2.14-16: warning: nonterminal useless in grammar: exp [-Wother]

        The interest of being so verbose is dubious.  I suspect most of the
        time nonterminals are not expected to be useless, so the user wants to
        fix the nonterminal, not remove its rules.  And even if the user
        wanted to get rid of its rules, the position of these rules probably
        does not help more that just having the name of the nonterminal.

        This commit discard these messages, marked with '!', and keep the
        others.  In particular, we still report:

            2.14-16: warning: rule useless in grammar [-Wother]
             input: '0' | exp
                          ^^^

        All the useless rules (including the '!' ones) are still reported in
        the reports (xml, text, etc.); only the diagnostics on stderr change.

        c++: symbols can be empty, so use it
        The previous patches ensure that symbols (symbol_type and
        stack_symbol_type) can be empty, cleared, and their emptiness can be
        checked.  Therefore, yyempty, which codes whether yyla is empty or
        not, is now useless.

        In C skeletons (e.g., yacc.c), the fact that the lookahead is empty is
        coded by "yychar = YYEMPTY", which is exactly what this patch
        restores, since yychar/yytoken corresponds to yyla.type.

        * data/lalr1.cc (yyempty): Remove.
        Rather, depend on yyla.empty ().

        The symbol destructor is currently the only means to clear a symbol.
        Unfortunately during error recovery we might have to clear the
        lookahead, which is a local variable (yyla) that has not yet reached
        its end of scope.

        Rather that duplicating the code to destroy a symbol, or rather than
        destroying and recreating yyla, let's provide a means to clear a
        symbol.

        %union: fix the support for named %union
        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.

        symbols: properly fuse the properties of two symbol aliases
        This completes and fixes a7280757105b2909f6a58fdd1c582de8e278319a.
        Reported by Valentin Tolmer.

        Before it Bison used to put the properties of the symbols
        (associativity, printer, etc.) in the 'symbol' structure.  An
        identifier-named token (FOO) and its string-named alias ("foo")
        duplicated these properties, and symbol_check_alias_consistency()
        checked that both had compatible properties and fused them, at the end
        of the parsing of the grammar.

        The commit a7280757105b2909f6a58fdd1c582de8e278319a introduces a
        sym_content structure that keeps all these properties, and ensures
        that both aliases point to the same sym_content (instead of
        duplicating).  However, it removed symbol_check_alias_consistency,
        which resulted in the non-fusion of *existing* properties:

          %token FOO "foo"
          %left FOO %left "foo"

        was properly diagnosed as a redeclaration, but

          %left FOO %left "foo"
          %token FOO "foo"

        was not, as the properties of FOO and "foo" were not checked before
        fusion.  It certainly also means that

          %left "foo"
          %token FOO "foo"

        did not transfer properly the associativity to FOO.

        The fix is simple: reintroduce symbol_check_alias_consistency (under a
        better name, symbol_merge_properties) and call it where appropriate.

        Also, that commit made USER_NUMBER_HAS_STRING_ALIAS useless, but left
        it.

        * src/symtab.h (USER_NUMBER_HAS_STRING_ALIAS): Remove, unused.
        Adjust dependencies.
        * src/symtab.c (symbol_merge_properties): New, based on the former
        symbol_check_alias_consistency.
        * tests/input.at: Re-enable tests that we now pass.

        output: do not generate source files when early errors are caught
        Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz as "second problem" in:
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2013-09/msg00015.html

        One problem is that some errors are caught early, before the
        generation of output files, while others can only be detected
        afterwards (since, for instance, skeletons can raise errors
        themselves).

        This will be addressed in two steps: early errors do not generate
        source files at all, while later errors will remove the files that
        have already been generated.

        * src/scan-skel.l (yyout): Open to /dev/null when there are errors.
        * tests/output.at (AT_CHECK_FILES): Factored out of...
        (AT_CHECK_OUTPUT): this.
        Fuse the "SHELLIO" argument in the "FLAGS" one.
        Use $5 to denote the expected exit status.
        Add a test case for early errors.

        lalr1.cc: fix the support of YYERROR with variants
        When variant are enabled, the yylhs variable (the left-hand side of
        the rule being reduced, i.e. $$ and @$) is explicitly destroyed when
        YYERROR is called.  This is because before running the user code, $$
        is initialized, so that the user can properly use it.

        However, when quitting yyparse, yylhs is also reclaimed by the C++
        compiler: the variable goes out of scope.

        Instead of trying to be too smart, let the compiler do its job: reduce
        the scope of yylhs to exactly the reduction.  This way, whatever the
        type of scope exit (regular, exception, return, goto...) this variable
        will be properly reclaimed.

        Reported by Paolo Simone Gasparello.
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2013-10/msg00003.html>

        * data/lalr1.cc (yyparse): Reduce the scope of yylhs.

        tests: check $$'s destruction with variant, YYERROR, and no error recovery
        When variant are enabled, the yylhs variable (the left-hand side of
        the rule being reduced, i.e. $$ and @$) is explicitly destroyed when
        YYERROR is called.  This is because before running the user code, $$
        is initialized, so that the user can properly use it.

        However, when quitting yyparse, yylhs is also reclaimed by the C++
        compiler: the variable goes out of scope.

        This was not detected by the test suite because (i) the Object tracker
        was too weak, and (ii) the problem does not show when there is error
        recovery.

        diagnostics: "-Werror -Wno-error=foo" must not emit errors
        Currently "-Werror -Wno-error=foo" still turns "foo" warnings into errors.
        Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
        See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2013-09/msg00015.html.

        (warning_argmatch): Extract the loop iterating on the flag's bits.
        Set and unset errority_flag here.
        (warnings_argmatch): -Wno-error is not the same as -Wno-error=everything:
        we must remember if category foo was explicitly turned in an error/warning
        via -W(no-)error=foo.
        (warning_severity): Use errority_flag.

        * tests/input.at (Symbols): Just check --yacc, not -Wyacc, that's the

        * tests/local.at (AT_BISON_CHECK_WARNINGS): Don't expect -Werror
        to turn runs that issue warnings into runs with errors, as the

        * tests/c++.at (Exception safety): In variant mode $$ is an instance
        of Object.  Assigning YY_NULL in C++98 is incorrect, but behaves ok,

        in C++11 as there is operator for "$$ = nullptr".

        yacc: beware of "uninitialized uses" warnings
        Again some issues with the fact that yylval is reported by GCC as
        possibly not initialized in some cases.  Here, the case at hand is the
        %destructor.

        I am still not convinced that it is worth going all the trouble of
        using pragmas to disable temporarily some warnings, instead of just
        initializing the looking symbol once for all, but that's what Paul
        voted for, see
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2012-10/msg00050.html>.

        * data/c.m4 (b4_attribute_define): Define
        YY_IGNORE_MAYBE_UNINITIALIZED_BEGIN, YY_IGNORE_MAYBE_UNINITIALIZED_END,
        YY_INITIAL_VALUE here, as we will need them in the generation of the
        destructor function, which is defined in yacc.c before yyparse, which
        was in charge of defining these macros.
        * data/yacc.c (b4_declare_scanner_communication_variables): Simplify:
        trying to factor the definitions of the case pure and impure is
        too complex.
        Actually, it is not even clear that this macro should really exist,
        as even the calls are complex.
        Be careful not to issue a lone ";", as this is a statement, and C90
        forbids declarations after statements ; so write
        "YY_INITIAL_VALUE(Decl;)", not "YY_INITIAL_VALUE(Decl);".

2013-07-03  Akim Demaille  <akim@lrde.epita.fr>

        There are possible conflicts between gnulib replacement functions (in

        these in configure seems too hard, and I don't know how to fix the issue

        java: add push-parser support
        * data/lalr1.java: Capture the declarations as m4 macros to avoid
        duplication.  When push parsing, the declarations occur at the class
        instance level rather than within the parse() function.

        Change the way that the parser state is initialized.  For
        push-parsing, the parse state declarations are moved to
        "push_parse_initialize()", which is called on the first invocation of
        "push_parse()". The %initial-action code is also inserted after the
        invocation of "push_parse_initialize()".

        The body of the parse loop is modified to return values at appropriate
        points when doing push parsing.  In order to make push parsing work,
        it is necessary to divide YYNEWSTATE into two states: YYNEWSTATE and
        YYGETTOKEN. On the first call to push_parse(), the state is
        YYNEWSTATE. On all later entries, the state is set to YYGETTOKEN. The
        YYNEWSTATE switch arm falls through into YYGETTOKEN. YYGETTOKEN
        indicates that a new token is potentially needed.  Normally, with a
        pull parser, this new token would be obtained by calling "yylex()". In
        the push parser, the value YYMORE is returned to the caller. On the
        next call to push_parse(), the parser will return to the YYGETTOKEN
        state and continue operation.

        * tests/javapush.at: New test file for java push parsing.

        * Commit e9955c83 dropped support for %no-parser as well, and
          converted it to option.  --no-parser was later dropped in 728c4be2
          on 2007-08-12, but -n was kept around, probably as an omission.  All
          three are documented as removed since 2.3b (2008-05-27).

        * -e existed for a single day in 2001.  It was introduced in eeeb962b
          on 2001-11-27.  The handling was removed in c7925b99 on 2001-11-28,
          but "e" was kept in the list of short options.  Probably an
          omission.

        * --include appears to be dead code.  The option sets a variable, but
          that variable is not used anywhere.  It was added in f6bd5427 on
          2001-11-26 as a %-directive, with comments that it's not yet
          implemented.  It was converted to a command-line option later, but
          doesn't seem to ever have been actually implemented.

        gnulib: update

2013-04-22  Akim Demaille  <akim@lrde.epita.fr>

        diagnostics: always point to the first directive
        Some directives cannot be used several times (e.g., a given symbol may
        only have a single printer).  In case of repeated definitions, an
        error is issued for the second definition, yet it is not discarded,
        and becomes the definition used for the rest of the file.

        This is not consistent with the idea that multiple definitions are not
        allowed: discard any repeated directive.

        * src/symtab.c (symbol_type_set, symbol_code_props_set)

        the subsequent ones.

        parser: no longer use the "braceless" non-terminal
        The purpose of this symbol was only to factor function calls.  As a
        result the actions were indeed simpler, but the grammar was somewhat
        uselessly obfuscated.  Get rid of this symbol, but introduce functions
        to simplify dependencies.

        There is no (intended) changes of behavior here.

        grammar: do not add a \n at the end of blocks of code
        Now that we use "braceless" (which is {...} blocks of code with
        initial and final braces stripped) to denote "short" values (such as
        api.namespaces), the added end-of-line is a nuisance.  As a matter of
        fact, this extra-safety was useless, as every expansion of "braceless"
        (aka, "user code") is followed by an end of line.

        * src/parse-gram.y, src/parse-gram.c (braceless): Instead of replacing
        the final brace by \n, just delete the brace.

        gram: correct token numbering in precedence declarations
        In a precedence declaration, when tokens are declared with a litteral
        character (e.g., 'a') or with a identifier (e.g., B), Bison behaved
        differently: the litteral tokens would be numbered first, and then the
        other ones, leading to the following grammar:

          %right A B 'c' 'd'

        being numbered as such: 'c' 'd' A B.

        Bison 3.0 is already breaking backward compatibility with other

        diagnostics: revamp the handling of -Werror
        Recent discussions with Joel E. Denny
        (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2013-02/msg00026.html)
        show that it is desirable to tell the difference between an option
        that was explicitly disabled with -Wno-foo, as opposed to be left
        unset.  The current framework does not allow this.

        Instead of having a first int to store which options are enabled, and
        another to store which are turned into errors, use an array that for
        each warning category tells its status: disabled, unset, warning,
        error.

        * src/complain.h, src/complain.c (warning_bit): New enum.
        (warnings): Use it.

        (complain_init): New function, to initialie warnings_flag.

        options: no longer document warnings when diagnosing an invalid -W
        The argmatch functions accept prefixes of the alternatives (like
        getopt does for long options).  Bison uses this to document the
        warning categories.  This is troublesome: it duplicates the --help
        documentation, it is not gettextized, it is displayed with ugly quotes
        (because argmatch uses it to display the list of possible answers),
        and it prevents straighforward uses of the tables of valid warning
        categories (for instance so that warning diagnostics end with the name
        of the warning).

        The "hidden" option --trace uses the same trick, but it does not need
        to be translated, nor to be described in --help.

        variants: avoid type punning issue
        This is based on what is recommended by both Scott Meyers, in 'Effective
        C++', and Andrei Alexandrescu and Herb Sutter in 'C++ Coding Standards'.

        Use a static_cast on void* rather than directly use a reinterpret_cast,
        which can have nefarious effects on objects.  However, even though following
        this guideline is good practice in general, I am not quite sure how relevant
        it is when applied to conversions from POD to objects.  Actually, it might
        very well be the opposite: isn't this exactly what reinterpret_cast is for?
        What we really want *is* to transmit the memory map as a series of bytes,
        which, if I am correct, falls into the kind of "low level" hack for which
        this cast is meant.

        In any case, this silences the warning, which will be greatly appreciated by
        anyone using variants with a compiler supporting -fstrict-aliasing.

        * data/variant.hh (as): Here.
        * tests/c++.at (Exception safety, C++ Variant-based Symbols, Variants):

        m4: generate a basic_symbol constructor for each symbol type
        Recently, there was a slightly vicious bug hidden in the make_ functions:

          parser::symbol_type
          parser::make_TEXT (const ::std::string& v)
          {
            return symbol_type (token::TOK_TEXT, v);
          }

        The constructor for symbol_type doesn't take an ::std::string& as
        argument, but a constant variant.  However, because there is a variant
        constructor which takes an ::std::string&, this caused the implicit
        construction of a built variant.  Considering that the variant argument
        for the symbol_type constructor was cv-qualified, this temporary variant
        was never destroyed.

        As a temporary solution, the symbol was built in two stages:

          symbol_type res (token::TOK_TEXT);
          res.value.build< ::std::string&> (v);
          return res;

        However, the solution introduced in this patch contributes to letting
        the symbols handle themselves, by supplying them with constructors that
        take a non-variant value and build the symbol's own variant with that
        value.

        constructors rather than building in a temporary symbol.

        c++: revamp the support for variants
        The current approach was too adhoc: the symbols were not sufficiently
        self-contained, in particular wrt memory management.  The "new"
        guideline is the one that should have been followed from the start:
        let the symbols handle themslves, instead of leaving their users to
        it.  It was justified by the will to avoid gratuitious moves and
        copies, but the current approach does not seem to be slower, yet it
        will probably be simpler to adjust to support move semantics from
        C++11.

        The documentation says that the %parse-param are available from the
        %destructor.  In retrospect, that was a silly design decision, which
        we can break for variants, as its a new feature.  It should be phased
        out for non-variants too.

        * data/variant.hh: A variant never knows if it stores something or
        not, it is up to its users to store this information.
        Yet, in parse.assert mode, make sure the empty/filled variants
        are properly used.
        (b4_symbol_constructor_define_): Don't call directly the symbol
        constructor, to save a useless temporary.
        * data/stack.hh (push): Steal the pushed value instead of duplicating
        it.
        This will simplify the callers of push, who handled this "move"
        approach themselves.
        * data/c++.m4 (basic_symbol): Let -1, as kind, denote the fact that
        a symbol is empty.
        This is needed for instance when shifting the lookahead: yyla
        is given as argument to "push", and its value is then moved on
        the stack.  But then yyla must be declared "empty" so that its
        destructor won't be called.
        (basic_symbol::move): New.
        Move the responsibility of calling the destructor from yy_destroy
        to ~basic_symbol in the case of variants.
        * data/lalr1.cc (stack_symbol_type): Now a derived class from its
        previous value, so that we can add a constructor from a symbol_type.
        (by_state): State -1 means empty.
        (yypush_): Factor, by calling one overload from the other one, and
        using the new semantics of stack::push.
        No longer reclaim by hand the memory from rhs symbols, since now
        that we store objects with proper destructors, they will be reclaimed
        automatically.
        Conversely, be sure to delete yylhs.
        * tests/c++.at (C++ Variant-based Symbols): New "unit" test for
        symbols.

        c: no longer require stdio.h when locations are enabled
        Recent changes (in 2.7) introduced a dependency on both FILE and
        fprintf, which are "available" only in %debug mode.  This was to
        define yy_location_print_, which is used only in %debug mode by the
        parser, but massively used by the test suite to output the locations
        in yyerror.

        Break this dependency: the test suite should define its own routines
        to display the locations.  Eventually Bison will provide the user with
        a means to display locations, but not yet.

        * data/c.m4 (b4_yy_location_print_define): Use YYFPRINTF instead of
        fprintf directly.
        * data/yacc.c (b4_yy_location_print_define): Invoke it only in %debug

        bench: compatibility for Bison <= 2.7
        There used to be a bug in some skeletons, which caused the expansion of
        'yylval' and 'yylloc', generating these errors:

        input.cc:547:16: error: expected ',' or '...' before '(' token
         #define yylval (yystackp->yyval)
                        ^
        input.yy:29:39: note: in expansion of macro 'yylval'
         int yylex (yy::parser::semantic_type *yylval)
                                               ^

        This bug is fixed by 'skel: better aliasing of identifiers', but a workaround
        is useful when benchmarking against older versions of Bison, which are still
        affected by the bug.

        lalr1.cc: change symbols implementation
        A "symbol" groups together the symbol type (INT, PLUS, etc.), its
        possible semantic value, and its optional location.  The type is
        needed to access the value, as it is stored as a variant/union.

        There are two kinds of symbols. "symbol_type" are "external symbols":
        they have type, value and location, and are returned by yylex.
        "stack_symbol_type" are "internal symbols", they group state number,
        value and location, and are stored in the parser stack.  The type of
        the symbol is computed from the state number.

        The class template symbol_base_type<Exact> factors the code common to
        stack_symbol_type and symbol_type.  It uses the Curiously Recurring
        Template pattern so that we can always (static_) downcast to the exact
        type.  symbol_base_type features value and location, and delegates the
        handling of the type to its parameter.

        When trying to generalize the support for variant, a significant issue
        was revealed: because stack_symbol_type and symbol_type _derive_ from
        symbol_base_type, the type/state member is defined _after_ the value
        and location.  In C++ the order of the definition of the members
        defines the order in which they are initialized, things go backward:
        the value is initialized _before_ the type.  This is wrong, since the
        type is needed to access the value.

        Therefore, we need another means to factor the common code, one that
        ensures the order of the members.

        The idea is simple: define two (base) classes that code the symbol
        type ("by_type" codes it by its type, and "by_state" by the state
        number).  Define basic_symbol<Base> as the class template that
        provides value and location support.  Make it _derive_ from its
        parameter, by_type or by_state.  Then define stack_symbol_type and
        symbol_type as basic_symbol<by_state>, basic_symbol<by_type>.  The
        name basic_symbol was chosen by similarity with basic_string and
        basic_ostream.

        * data/c++.m4 (symbol_base_type<Exact>): Remove, replace by...
        (basic_symbol<Base>): which derives from its parameter, one of...
        (by_state, by_type): which provide means to retrieve the actual type of
        symbol.
        (symbol_type): Is now basic_symbol<by_type>.
        (stack_symbol_type): Is now basic_symbol<by_state>.
        * data/lalr1.cc: Many adjustments.

        syncline: one line is enough

          /* Line 356 of yacc.c  */

        This is a lot of clutter, especially when reading diffs, as these
        lines change often.  Fuse them into a single, shorter, line:

        Work on some other areas of Bison revealed that some macros expanded
        to be expanded only once were actually expanded several times.  This
        was due to the fact that changecom was not properly restored each
        time, and macro names appearing in comments were then expanded.

        glr.cc, yacc.c: initialize yylloc properly
        There are several issues to address here.  One is that yylloc should
        be initialized when possible.  Another is that the push parser needs
        to update yypushed_loc when the user modified it.  And if the parser
        starts by a reduction of an empty, it uses the first location on the
        stack, which, therefore, must also be initialized to this initial
        location.

        This is getting complex, especially since because initializing a
        global (impure interface) is different from initializing a local
        variable.  To simplify, the local yylloc is not initialized during its
        definition.

        * data/c.m4 (b4_yyloc_default_define): Replace by...
        (b4_yyloc_default): this.

        initialize it.
        (yyparse): Define yyloc_default.
        Use it before running the user initial action.
        Possibly update the first location on the stack, and the pushed
        location after the user initial action.
        * tests/actions.at (Initial locations): Check that the initial
        location is correct.

        yacc.c: initialize yylval and yylloc.
        When generating a pure push parser, the initialization of yylval and
        yylloc may not be visible to the compiler.  With warnings enabled, GCC
        4.3.6, 4.4.7, 4.5.4, and 4.6.3 report uninitialized uses of
        yylval/yylloc.  Using local pragmas to disable these warnings is not
        supported before 4.6, and 4.6 does not support it properly.  So
        initialize yylval and yylloc at their definition.  Reported by Peter
        Simons.  See
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2012-10/msg00133.html

        maint: be compilable with GCC 4.0
        The "shadows a global declaration" warning in GCC 4.0 was a bit
        annoying.  It does not like that a type name be used in a prototype of
        a function (not the implementation, just the declaration):

          In file included from src/LR0.c:38:
          src/reader.h:56: warning: declaration of 'named_ref' shadows a
                                    global declaration
          src/named-ref.h:35: warning: shadowed declaration is here

        It does not like either when a global variable name is used in a
        prototype.  Flex 2.5.37 generates this prototype:

          void gram_set_debug (int debug_flag  );

        * src/getargs.h, src/getargs.c (debug_flag): Rename as...

        graphs: style: use left justification for states
        The label text of nodes is centered "by default" (by the use of '\n' as
        a line feed). This gives bad readability to the grammar rules shown in
        state nodes, a left justification is much nicer. This is done by using '\l'
        as the line feed.

        necessary.

        * doc/bison.texi (Destructor Decl, C++ Parser Interface): and there.

2012-10-06  Akim Demaille  <akim@lrde.epita.fr>

        lalr1.cc: check exception safety of error handling
        * tests/c++.at (Exception safety): Don't use swap here, it
        is useless.
        Cover more test cases: yyerror, YYERROR, YYABORT, and
        error recovery.
        (Object): Instead of just keeping a counter of instances, keep
        a list of them.

        lalr1.cc: check (and fix) %printer exception safety
        * tests/c++.at (Exception safety): Let the parser support the --debug
        option.
        On 'p', throw an exception from the %printer.
        * data/lalr1.cc (yyparse): Do not display the values we discard, as it
        uses %printer, which might have thrown the exception.

        This line doesn't add any meaningful information anymore, the appended
        [-Werror=CATEGORY] is enough.  It is actually more insightful, as it

        errors: change output, and improve -y coherence
        The prefix of warnings treated as errors is now "error: ". Also, their
        suffix now reflects the changes in the Werror option format.

        An output for -Werror=other used to be:
          bison: warnings being treated as errors
          input.y:1.1: warning: stray ',' treated as white space [-Wother]

        It is now:
          bison: warnings being treated as errors
          input.y:1.1: error: stray ',' treated as white space [-Werror=other]

        The line "warnings being treated as errors" no longer adds any info,
        it will be removed in a forthcoming change.

        * NEWS: Add entry "Enhancement of the -Werror"
        * doc/bison.texi: Move the warnings-as-error to a new bullet.
        * src/complain.c (complains): Refactor, change the prefix of warnings

        errors: indent "result type clash" error context
        This used to be the format of the error report:

          input.y:6.5-10: result type clash on merge function 'merge': [...]
          input.y:2.4-9: previous declaration

        In order to distinguish the actual error from the context provided, we
        rather this new output:

          input.y:6.5-10: result type clash on merge function 'merge': [...]
          input.y:2.4-9:     previous declaration

        Another patch will introduce an "error: " prefix to all non-indented
        lines, giving yet better readability to the reports.

        * src/complain.h (SUB_INDENT): Move to here.
        * src/reader.c (record_merge_function_type): Use complain_at_indent to
        output with increased indentation level.

        warnings: use the regular interface for s/r and r/r conflicts
        The current routines used to display s/r and r/r conflicts are both
        inconvenient from the programmer point of view (they do not use the
        warning infrastructure) and for the user (the messages are rather
        terse, not necessarily pleasant to read, and because they don't use
        the same routines, they look different).

        It was due to the belief (dating back to the initial checked-in
        version of Bison) that, at some point, POSIX Yacc mandated the format
        for these messages.  Today, the Open Group's manual page for Yacc,
        <http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/yacc.html>,
        explicitly states that the format of these messages is unspecified.
        See commit be7280480c175bed203883f524c7dcd6cf37c13d and
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2002-12/msg00027.html>.

        For a discussion on the chosen warning format, see
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2012-09/msg00039.html

        In an effort to factor the handling of errors and warnings, use the
        Bison warning routines to report these messages.

        * src/conflicts.c (conflicts_print): Rewrite with clearer sections
        about S/R and then R/R conflicts.
        (conflict_report): Remove, inlined in its sole
        caller...
        (conflicts_output): here.
        * tests/conflicts.at, tests/existing.at, tests/glr-regression.at,
        * tests/reduce.at, tests/regression.at: Adjust the expected results.
        * NEWS: Update.

        yacc: fix handling of CPP guards when no header is generated
        When no header was to be generated, Bison would issue:

             by #include "".  */

        simplify the handling of <> and <*>'s code_props.
        Currently they are treated in separated variables, contrary to other
        <TYPE> code_props.  This duplicates code (and messages for translators)
        uselessly, as demonstrated by the fact that thanks to this patch, now
        useless <*> and <> code_props are reported like the others.

        * src/parse-gram.y (generic_symlist_item): Treat "<*>" and "<>" as regular
        type tags.
        * src/symlist.h, src/symlist.c (symbol_list_default_tagged_new)
        (symbol_list_default_tagless_new,SYMLIST_DEFAULT_TAGGED)
        (SYMLIST_DEFAULT_TAGLESS): Remove.
        * src/symtab.h, src/symtab.c (default_tagged_code_props)
        (default_tagless_code_props, default_tagged_code_props_set)
        (default_tagless_code_props_set): Remove.
        (symbol_code_props_get): Default to <*> or <>'s code_props.

        * tests/actions.at: Complete expected errors: there are new warnings.
        * tests/input.at: Likewise.
        (Useless printers or destructors): Extend.

        allow modification on retrieved code_props.
        The logic to compute the %printer or %destructor to used (i.e., a
        code_props) is implemented twice: one, of course, in
        symbol_code_props_get, and another time in symbol_check_defined to
        record the fact that a code_props is used (so that we can reported
        unused ones).  Let the former use the latter.

        I would probably use "mutable" in C++ and keep these guys const,
        but this is C.  And casting away constness triggers warnings.

        * src/scan-code.h, src/scan-code.l (code_props_none): Is not const.
        * src/symtab.h, src/symtab.c (symbol_code_props_get): The symbol
        is not const.
        (symbol_check_defined): Use it.

        maint: fix bison's own header guards.
        Because I'm using a VPATH build with an absolute srcdir, I have
        GRAM__USERS_AKIM_SRC_GNU_BISON_SRC_PARSE_GRAM_H.  Before, I was using
        a relative srcdir, and had GRAM_______SRC_PARSE_GRAM_H (coming from
        ../../).  Let it be GRAM_SRC_PARSE_GRAM_H.

        * tests/bison.in: Do not depend on the value of $top_srcdir for
        Bison itself.
        If we were to use relative paths from .c to .y, we would not have
        this problem.

        later is defined, but let's avoid stacking CPP on top of M4: rather, use

        api.prefix: also rename YYDEBUG.
        The testsuite in master has shown weird errors for the "Mulitple
        Parsers" tests: the caller of p5.parse() received some apparently
        random value, while tracing p5.parse() showed that the function was
        consistently returning 0.

        It happens when mixing several parser headers, some generated without
        %debug, others with.  In particular the C++ parser was generated with
        %debug, i.e., with:

          #ifndef YYDEBUG
          # define YYDEBUG 1
          #endif

        and compiled separatedly.  Yet, its header was included after the one
        of another parser, this time without %debug, i.e., with

          #ifndef YYDEBUG
          # define YYDEBUG 0
          #endif

        in its header.  As a result, the parser was compiled with YYDEBUG set,
        but its header was used without.  Since the layout of the objects are
        then completely different, boom.

        Therefore, do not change the value of YYDEBUG.  Rather, use it as a
        default value for <API.PREFIX>DEBUG.

        fix warnings for useless %printer/%destructor
        The previous commit, which turns into a warning what used to be an
        error:

            %printer {} foo;
            %%
            exp: '0';

        has two shortcomings: the warning is way too long (foo is reported
        to be useless later), and besides, it also turns into a warning much
        more serious errors:

           %printer {} foo;
           %%
           exp: foo;

        Reduce the amount to warnings in the first case, restore the error in
        the second.

        * src/symtab.h (status): Add a new inital state: undeclared.
        * src/symtab.c (symbol_new): Initialize to undeclared.

        that are not used (e.g., those that for instance appeared only in a
        %printer).
        * tests/input.at (Undeclared symbols used for a printer or destructor):

        In order to improve the testing of %defines, which exports the
        interface of the generated parser, change the calc.at tests so that
        when %defines is passed, main will be in another compilation unit.  It

        yacc.c: factor.
        yacc.c used to include two almost identical sections: one for the *.h
        file, and another for the *.c file.  The main difference is that in
        the *.c file we used the yy* names (as %name-prefix is handled by
        "#define yy* <prefix>*" before), while the *.hh used <prefix>* names.
        Keep only the later.  If this is troublesome, b4_shared_declarations
        can easily take the desired prefix as argument.

        * data/yacc.c (b4_shared_declarations): New.

        declaration was protected by YYSTYPE_IS_DECLARED in yacc.c, but not in

        There are a few minor differences: the new code uses strchr instead of
        mbschr (but this was not really justified), and the new code does not
        garantee a single slash even if $BISON_PKGDATADIR ends with several

2012-05-21  Akim Demaille  <akim@lrde.epita.fr>

        build: do not prototype flex-generated functions.
        Some versions of Flex, possibly modified by the distribution package
        maintainers, have incompatible signatures.  Since newer versions of
        Flex prototype their functions, avoid the conflicts in that case.
        Reported by Stefano Lattarini.
        <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2012-05/msg00012.html>.

        * src/flex-scanner.h (FLEX_VERSION_GT): New.
        Use it to issue prototypes for flex-generated functions only for
        versions up to 2.5.31, in accordance with the comment.
        See commit dc9701e848f27ae64b6ddcf809580998667d60f2.

        tests: save/restore Autotest special files when checking XML support.
        Currently the test 248, "parse-gram.y: LALR = IELR", fails
        BISON_TEST_XML is set.

        * tests/local.at (AT_BISON_CHECK_XML): Belt: Save/restore files.

2012-05-11  Akim Demaille  <akim@lrde.epita.fr>

        tests: AT_SAVE_SPECIAL_FILES / AT_RESTORE_SPECIAL_FILES.
        Some of our macros play with expout and other Autotest special files,
        which may break their callers (e.g., currently TESTSUITEFLAGS='248
        BISON_TEST_XML=1' fails).

        There is already some support for this.  Expand it to be ready to use
        it elsewhere.

        * tests/local.at (AT_RESTORE_SPECIAL_FILES, AT_SAVE_SPECIAL_FILES)

        glr: do not use locations when they are not requested
        When the test suite runs with -O2 and warnings enabled, G++
        complains of locations being used, but not initialized.
        The simplest is to not use locations.

        * data/glr.c (b4_locuser_formals, b4_locuser_args): New.
        Use them when locations should not be used.
        Use b4_locations_if where appropriate.
        (yyuserAction): Modify the order to the arguments to make
        it more alike the other routines, and to make use of
        b4_locuser_args simpler.

2012-03-31  Akim Demaille  <akim@lrde.epita.fr>

        c++: use nullptr for C++11.
        C++11 introduces "nullptr" which plays the role of C's NULL, in
        replacement of "0".  Fix the C++ skeletons to avoid warnings about
        uses of "0" in place of "nullptr", and improve C skeletons to also use
        this "nullptr" when compiled with a C++11 compiler.

        * configure.ac: More C++ warnings.
        * NEWS (2.5.1): Document this.
        * data/c++.m4, data/c.m4 (b4_null_define): New.
        (b4_null): Use YY_NULL instead of 0.
        * data/glr.c, data/lalr1.cc, data/location.cc, data/yacc.c:
        Call b4_null_define/b4_null where appropriate.
        Use YY_NULL instead of NULL.
        * data/location.cc (initialize): Accept a default argument,
        YY_NULL.
        * tests/actions.at, tests/calc.at: Adjust.

        * data/glr.c, lib/libiberty.h, src/system.h (__attribute__):
        Do not disable it when __STRICT_ANSI__ is defined, as, for
        instance, it disables the __attribute__((unused)) which
        protects us from some compiler warnings.
        This was already done elsewhere in Bison, in 2001, see
        4a0d89369599a2cea01f4fbdf791f426a02cb5a3.
        * tests/regression.at: Adjust output.

2012-03-30  Akim Demaille  <akim@lrde.epita.fr>

        build: simplify and improve the compiler warnings for tests.
        * configure.ac (warn_common, warn_c, warn_cxx): New.
        Use them to compute independently the options supported
        by the C and C++ compilers.
        Don't AC_SUBST the variables passed to gl_WARN_ADD: it
        does it for us.
        (WARN_CFLAGS_TEST, WARN_CXXFLAGS_TEST): Don't aggregate
        $WARN_CFLAGS and $WARN_CXXFLAGS in them now, leave it
        to atlocal.in.
        (O0CFLAGS, O0CXXFLAGS): Move their definition to...
        * tests/atlocal.in: here.
        Be more systematic between C and C++.
        Reorder to factor between variables.
        Propagate all of the variables when --compile-c-with-cxx.

        We used to pass "CC=$CXX" as command line argument,

        in atlocal, since it is loaded before assignments on

        avoid direct strncmp calls.
        Before this change, bison would accept either .tab and _tab equivalently,

        to the possible definition of TAB_EXT to something else than .tab.

        For consistency, handle only TAB_EXT (".tab" on non DJGPP platforms).
        Support for "_tab" is neither documented, nor tested.

        maint: fix example extraction issues.
        calc++: don't rely on Automake to compile a C++ parser.

        Basically, revert commit 609b3d8096fb0cc1fa4d908b6e1a860ced260bda,
        Automake 1.11.3 is not safe enough for C++ parser.

        * examples/calc++/calc++-parser.hh: Remove.
        * examples/calc++/local.mk (examples/calc++/calc++-parser.stamp):
        New.

        examples: factor the extractions into a single step

        extexi had to be run in the extraction directory.  Now, it can be
        given the files with expected output directory.  This allows to
        use $(*_extracted) variables (before we had to list again their
        members, but limited to their base names).  In turn, this also
        allows fusing the extraction recipes into a single one.

        Also, it is currently too hard (or requires too much duplication,
        since Make wants all the occurrences of the files to be prefixed with
        $(srcdir)/, which is something Automake cannot support for *_SOURCES)
        to work in the source tree.  So extract, and compile scanners and parsers
        in the build tree.

        * examples/extexi (basename): New.
        (BEGIN): Now "file_wanted" maps base name to extracted file name.
        * examples/calc++/local.mk, examples/mfcalc/local.mk,
        * examples/rpcalc/local.mk: Fuse extraction rules into...
        * examples/local.mk: Here.

        calc++: rely on Automake.
        Rely on $(YACC) being the bison being built, and let Automake do the
        rest.  It turned out to be much more difficult than anticipated, for
        various reasons, including some bad behavior from Automake 1.11.2
        which (i) generates calc++-parser.h instead of calc++-parser.hh, and
        (ii) leaves an #include "y.tab.h" in the generated parser instead
        of #include "calc++-parser.h".

        The authors of Automake appear to be aware of the problem,
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2011-05/msg00008.html
        so a simple work around will suffice for the time being.

        * examples/calc++/y.tab.h, examples/calc++/calc++-parser.hh: New.
        To work around Automake 1.11.2 issues.
        * examples/calc++/local.mk: Remove all the rules for compilation
        with bison, leave them to Automake.
        So provide it with "calc++-parse.yy" as a source file.
        (calc_sources_generated, calc_sources_extracted): Rename as.

2012-02-14  Akim Demaille  <demaille@gostai.com>

        maint: de-recurse the handling of examples
        The directory was still using a local Makefile.am because it provides
        "scoped" Make variables: these examples are not meant to use the same
        CPPFLAGS etc.  If we were to use the same -I set, we'd pick up
        gnulib's stdio.h for instance, which we do not want for these simple
        examples.

        Yet, as a result, the dependencies are less accurate, there is code
        duplication, etc.  This is especially perceptible when trying to
        extract more examples from the documentation, as will be done in
        forthcoming changes.

        In order to make the tuning of CPPFLAGS easier, discard the predefined
        -I from Automake.

        * examples/calc++/Makefile.am: Rename as...
        * examples/calc++/local.mk: this.
        Adjust the paths which are now rooted in top_srcdir/top_builddir.

        approach that completely discarded the whole directory.

        do not ignore errors like ENOSPC,EIO when writing to stdout
        Standard output was never explicitly closed, so we could not
        detect failure.  Thus, bison would ignore the errors of writing
        to a full file system and getting an I/O error on write, but only
        for standard output, e.g., for --print-localedir, --print-datadir,
        --help and some verbose output.
        Now, "bison --print-datadir > /dev/full" reports the write failure:
        bison: write error: No space left on device
        Before, it would exit 0 with no diagnostic, implying success.
        This is not an issue for "--output=-" or the other FILE-accepting
        command-line options, because unlike most other GNU programs,
        an output file argument of "-" is treated as the literal "./-",

        build: avoid possibly-replaced fprintf in liby-source, yyerror.c
        * lib/yyerror.c (yyerror): Use fputs and fputc rather than fprintf
        with a mere "%s\n" format.  Always return 0 now, on the assumption
        that the return value was never used anyway.
        Don't include <config.h> after all.  This avoids a problem
        reported by Thiru Ramakrishnan in
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-bison/2011-11/msg00000.html
        * cfg.mk: Exempt lib/yyerror.c from the sc_require_config_h_first test.
        * THANKS: Update.

        build: manually update bootstrap from gnulib, and adapt
        Updating to the latest bootstrap from gnulib involves more of a
        change than usual, and updating to the latest gnulib would involve
        its own set of challenges with the upcoming quoting changes, so
        we update bootstrap manually and separately.
        * bootstrap: Update from gnulib.
        * lib/Makefile.am: Initialize more variables to empty, so that gnulib.mk
        can append to them with "+=".
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_mk_hook): Remove.  No longer honored.

        Also add support for --help and --version.

        quote consistently and make tests pass with new quoting from gnulib
        Updating to gnulib pulled in new quote and quotarg modules,
        by which quoting is now done like 'this' rather than `this'.
        That change induces many "make check" test failures.  This change
        adapts code and tests so that "make check" passes once again.
