37 | |
| 38 | * Errors in the input grammar are not fatal; Bison keeps reading | |
| 39 | the grammar file, and reports all the errors found in it. | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | * Tokens can now be specified as multiple-character strings: for | |
| 42 | example, you could use "<=" for a token which looks like <=, instead | |
| 43 | of chosing a name like LESSEQ. | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | * The %token_table declaration says to write a table of tokens (names | |
| 46 | and numbers) into the parser file. The yylex function can use this | |
| 47 | table to recognize multiple-character string tokens, or for other | |
| 48 | purposes. | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | * The %no_lines declaration says not to generate any #line preprocessor | |
| 51 | directives in the parser file. | |
| 52 | ||
| 53 | * The %raw declaration says to use internal Bison token numbers, not | |
| 54 | Yacc-compatible token numbers, when token names are defined as macros. | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | * The --no-parser option produces the parser tables without including | |
| 57 | the parser engine; a project can now use its own parser engine. | |
| 58 | The actions go into a separate file called NAME.act, in the form of | |
| 59 | a switch statement body. | |

63 | The user can define YYPARSE_PARAM as the name of an argument to be |
| 64 | passed into yyparse. The argument should have type void *. It should | |
| 65 | actually point to an object. Grammar actions can access the variable | |
| 66 | by casting it to the proper pointer type. | |

| 6780ca7a | 68 | Line numbers in output file corrected. |
