+
+ portability: fix several issues with M4 subprocess.
+
+ M4's output pipe was not being drained upon fatal errors during
+ scan_skel. As a result, broken-pipe messages from M4 were seen
+ on at least AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and RHEL4, and this caused a
+ failure in the test suite. The problem was that, on platforms
+ where the default disposition for SIGPIPE is ignore instead of
+ terminate, M4 sometimes saw fwrite fail with errno=EPIPE and
+ then reported it. However, there's some sort of race condition,
+ because the new test group occasionally succeeded.
+ Reported by Albert Chin at
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2010-02/msg00004.html>.
+
+ There were also problems with the test suite livelocking on
+ Tru64 5.1b. Reported by Didier Godefroy at
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2009-05/msg00005.html>.
+ Switching to create_pipe_bidi suggested by Akim Demaille.
+
+ To attempt to solve both of these problems, switch to gnulib's
+ create_pipe_bidi and register M4 process as a slave. Along the
+ way, clean up file name conflict handling, which was affected by
+ the broken-pipe problem before the switch.

+
+ Fix handling of yychar manipulation in user semantic actions.
+ The problem was that yacc.c didn't always update the yychar
+ translation afterwards. However, other skeletons appear to be
+ fine. glr.c appears to already translate yychar before every
+ use. lalr1.cc does not define yychar and does not document its
+ replacement, yyla, for users. It does provide yyclearin, but
+ that does not manipulate yyla and thus requires no translation
+ update. In lalr1.java, yychar is out of scope during semantic
+ actions.
+ * NEWS (2.5): Document.
+ * data/yacc.c (YYBACKUP): Don't bother translating yychar into
+ yytoken here.
+ (yyparse, yypush_parse): Instead, translate before every use of
+ yytoken, and add comments explaining this approach.
+ * tests/actions.at (Destroying lookahead assigned by semantic
+ action): New test group checking that translation happens before
+ lookahead destructor calls at parser return. Previously,
+ incorrect destructors were called.
+ * tests/conflicts.at (parse.error=verbose and consistent
+ errors): New test group checking that translation happens at
+ syntax error detection before the associated verbose error
+ message and the associated lookahead destructor calls. While
+ the destructor call is fixed by this patch, the verbose error
+ message is currently incorrect due to another bug (see
+ comments in test group), so this is an expected failure for now.
