   1 A directory of tools provided to people using CVS Bison.  None of
   2 these is distributed.

   4 * bench.pl
   5 A primitive Perl script to run benches.  Currently its only bench is
   6 the usual calculator: it has a lightweight processing part (but not
   7 null), so it is really emphasizing the cost of the whole parsing
   8 (including scanning and I/O).

  10 Set the envvars BISON and CC to the programs and flags you want to
  11 use.  They default to bison and gcc.  To run a non-installed bison
  12 from a tarball built in _build, I suggest the following.
  13
  14      BISON=_build/tests/bison CC='gcc -O2' ./bench.pl
  15
  16 (The _build/tests/bison wrapper makes sure that _build/src/bison will
  17 use the tarballs' skeletons, not those already installed as a
  18 straightforward use of _build/src/bison would.)
