4 | Changes in version 1.28a: | |
5 | ||
6 | * Russian translation added. | |
7 | ||
8 | * NLS support updated; should hopefully be less troublesome. | |
9 | ||
10 | * Added the old Bison reference card. | |
11 | \f | |
12 | Changes in version 1.28: | |
13 | ||
14 | * Should compile better now with K&R compilers. | |
15 | ||
16 | * Added NLS. | |
17 | ||
18 | * Fixed a problem with escaping the double quote character. | |
19 | ||
20 | * There is now a FAQ. | |
21 | \f | |
22 | Changes in version 1.27: | |
23 | ||
24 | * The make rule which prevented bison.simple from being created on | |
25 | some systems has been fixed. | |
26 | \f | |
27 | Changes in version 1.26: | |
28 | ||
29 | * Bison now uses automake. | |
30 | ||
31 | * New mailing lists: <bug-bison@gnu.org> and <help-bison@gnu.org>. | |
32 | ||
33 | * Token numbers now start at 257 as previously documented, not 258. | |
34 | ||
35 | * Bison honors the TMPDIR environment variable. | |
36 | ||
37 | * A couple of buffer overruns have been fixed. | |
38 | ||
39 | * Problems when closing files should now be reported. | |
40 | ||
41 | * Generated parsers should now work even on operating systems which do | |
42 | not provide alloca(). | |
43 | \f | |
44 | Changes in version 1.25: | |
45 | ||
46 | * Errors in the input grammar are not fatal; Bison keeps reading | |
47 | the grammar file, and reports all the errors found in it. | |
48 | ||
49 | * Tokens can now be specified as multiple-character strings: for | |
50 | example, you could use "<=" for a token which looks like <=, instead | |
51 | of chosing a name like LESSEQ. | |
52 | ||
53 | * The %token_table declaration says to write a table of tokens (names | |
54 | and numbers) into the parser file. The yylex function can use this | |
55 | table to recognize multiple-character string tokens, or for other | |
56 | purposes. | |
57 | ||
58 | * The %no_lines declaration says not to generate any #line preprocessor | |
59 | directives in the parser file. | |
60 | ||
61 | * The %raw declaration says to use internal Bison token numbers, not | |
62 | Yacc-compatible token numbers, when token names are defined as macros. | |
63 | ||
64 | * The --no-parser option produces the parser tables without including | |
65 | the parser engine; a project can now use its own parser engine. | |
66 | The actions go into a separate file called NAME.act, in the form of | |
67 | a switch statement body. | |
68 | \f | |
69 | Changes in version 1.23: | |
70 | ||
71 | The user can define YYPARSE_PARAM as the name of an argument to be | |
72 | passed into yyparse. The argument should have type void *. It should | |
73 | actually point to an object. Grammar actions can access the variable | |
74 | by casting it to the proper pointer type. | |
75 | ||
76 | Line numbers in output file corrected. | |
77 | \f | |
78 | Changes in version 1.22: | |
79 | ||
80 | --help option added. | |
81 | \f | |
82 | Changes in version 1.20: | |
83 | ||
84 | Output file does not redefine const for C++. |
