+Changes in version 2.1a:
+
+* New warning: unused values
+ Typed right-hand side symbols whose value are not used are reported.
+ For instance:
+
+ exp: exp "?" exp ":" exp { $$ = $1 ? $1 : $3; }
+ | exp "+" exp
+ ;
+
+ will trigger a warning about $5 of the first rule, and $3 in the
+ second ($1 is copied to $$ by the default rule). This example
+ most likely contains two errors, and should be rewritten as:
+
+ exp: exp "?" exp ":" exp { $$ = $1 ? $3 : $5; }
+ | exp "+" exp { $$ = $1 + $3; }
+ ;
+
+ However, if the original actions were really intended, the warnings
+ can be suppressed by letting Bison believe the values are used, e.g.:
+
+ exp: exp "?" exp ":" exp { $$ = $1 ? $1 : $3; (void) $5; }
+ | exp "+" exp { $$ = $1; (void) $3; }
+ ;
+
+ The warning is intended to help catching lost values and memory leaks.
+ If a value is ignored, its associated memory typically is not reclaimed.
+
+* %destructor vs. YYABORT, YYACCEPT, and YYERROR.
+ Destructors are now called when user code invokes YYABORT, YYACCEPT,
+ and YYERROR, for all objects on the stack, other than objects
+ corresponding to the right-hand side of the current rule.
+
+* %expect, %expect-rr
+ Incorrect numbers of expected conflicts are now actual errors,
+ instead of warnings.
+
+* GLR, YACC parsers.
+ The %parse-params are available in the %destructor's (and the
+ experimental %printer's) as per the documentation.
+
+* Bison now warns if it finds a stray `$' or `@' in an action.
+
+* %require "VERSION"
+ To specify that the grammar file depends on features implemented in
+ Bison version VERSION or higher.
+
+* lalr1.cc: The token and value types are now class members.
+ The tokens were defined as free form enums and cpp macros. YYSTYPE
+ was defined as a free form union. They are now class members:
+ tokens are enumerations of the `yy::parser::token' struct, and the
+ semantic values have the `yy::parser::semantic_type' type.
+
+ If you do not want or can update to this scheme, the directive
+ `%define "global_tokens_and_yystype" "1"' triggers the global
+ definition of tokens and YYSTYPE. This change is suitable both
+ for previous releases of Bison, and this one.
+
+ If you wish to update, then make sure older version of Bison will
+ fail using `%require "2.1a"'.
+
+* DJGPP support added.
+
+Changes in version 2.1, 2005-09-16:
