\title{Bison Quick Reference}

\section{Starting Bison}
%***********************

To use Bison, type: \kbd{bison {\it filename}}

Options can be used as: \kbd{bison {\it options} {\it filename}}

\section{Command Line Options}
%*****************************

\key{Display usage information.}                         {-h}
\key{Display version information.}                       {-V}
\key{Generate token and {\tt YYSTYPE} definitions.}      {-d}
\key{Prepend a prefix to external symbols.}              {-p {\it prefix}}
\key{Don't put {\tt \#line} directives in the parser.}   {-l}
\key{Specify the output file.}                           {-o {\it filename}}
\key{Debug or {\it trace} mode.}                      {-t}
\key{Verbose description of the parser.}                 {-v}
\key{Emulate {\tt yacc} (generate {\tt y.tab.*} files).} {-y}

\vskip .10truein
{\bf Note:} The token and {\tt YYSTYPE} definitions are generated
to a file called {\tt y.tab.h} if the {\tt -y} option is used,
otherwise it will have the format {\tt {\it name}.tab.h}, where
{\it name} is the leading part of the parser definition filename.

\section{Definitions}
%********************

\key{Declare a terminal symbol.}{\%token <{\it t\/}>
      {\it n}}

\key{Declare a terminal symbol, and define its association.}
      {{\it association} <{\it t\/}> {\it n}}

\vskip .2\baselineskip
\key{Generate a reentrant (pure) parser.}
      {\%pure_parser}

\key{Define the union of all data types used in the parser.}
      {\%union\{{\it field list}\} }

\vskip .2\baselineskip
\key{Tell {\tt bison} where to start parsing.}
      {\%start {\it m}}

\key{Tell {\tt bison} the data type of symbols.}
      {\%type <{\it t\/}> {\it s1}\dots{\it sn}}

\vskip .10truein

In the above, {\it t} is a {\it type} defined in the {\tt \%union}
definition,  {\it n} is a {\it terminal} symbol name, {\it m} is a
{\it non-terminal} symbol name, and {\it association} can be one of
{\tt \%left}, {\tt \%right}, or {\tt \%nonassoc}.

\vskip .10truein

The {\tt <{\it t\/}>} after {\tt \%token, \%left, \%right} and {\tt
  \%nonassoc} is optional. Additionally, precedence may be overridden
in the rules with {\tt \%prec} commands.

\section{Parser Definition Files}
%*********************************

The general form for a parser definition is:

\begincexample
\{\%
   /* Initial C code.  */
\%\}

 {\it Token and type definitions}

\%\%

   Rule definition 1
          \vdots
   Rule definition {\it n}

\%\%

  /* Other C code.  */
\endcexample


% Decrease standard baselineskip for the second page
 \baselineskip = .9\baselineskip

\section {Rule definitions}
%**************************

Rules take the form:

\vskip -\baselineskip
\beginexample
     non-terminal : {\it statement} 1
                  | {\it statement} 2
                      \vdots
                  | {\it statement n}
                  ;
\endexample

Where {\it statements} can be either empty, or contain
a mixture of C code (enclosed in {\tt \{...\}}), and the
symbols that make up the non-terminal. For example:

\vskip -\baselineskip
\beginexample
     expression : number '$+$' number \{ \$\$ $=$ \$1 $+$ \$3 \}
                | number '$-$' number \{ \$\$ $=$ \$1 $-$ \$3 \}
                | number '$/$' number \{ \$\$ $=$ \$1 $/$ \$3 \}
                | number '$*$' number \{ \$\$ $=$ \$1 $*$ \$3 \}
                ;
\endexample

For altering the precedence of a symbol use:
\vskip -\baselineskip

\beginexample
     \%prec name
\endexample

For example:
\vskip -\baselineskip
\beginexample
     foo : gnu bar gnu      \%prec bar
         ;
\endexample

\section{Grammar Variables and Symbols}
%**************************************

\key{Recognize an error \& continue parsing.}{error}
\key{Access data associated with a symbol.}  {\$\$, \$0\dots\${\it n}}
\key{Access a field of the  data union.}    {\$\$.{\it t},
                                     \$0.{\it t}\dots\${\it n}.{\it t}}
\key{Access symbol's location.}             {@\$, @0\dots@{\it n}}
\key{Access data's line location.}          {@{\it x}.{\it line\_spec}}
\key{Access data's column location.}        {@{\it x}.{\it column\_spec}}


\vskip .10truein
%
Where {\it t} is a type defined in the {\tt \%union}, {\it n} is a
number, {\it x} is a number or \$, {\it line\_spec} one of {\tt
  first_line} and {\tt last_line}, and {\it column\_spec} is specified
as either {\tt first_column} or {\tt last_column}.

\section {Variables and Types}

\key{Current lookahead token.}                 {yychar}
\key{Debug mode flag.}                         {yydebug}
