+
+ * NEWS: Bison-generated parsers no longer default to using the
+ alloca function (when available) to extend the parser stack, due
+ to widespread problems in unchecked stack-overflow detection.
+ * data/glr.c (YYMAXDEPTH): Remove undef when zero. It's the user's
+ responsibility to set it to a positive value. This lets the user
+ specify a value that is not a preprocessor constant.
+ * data/yacc.c (YYMAXDEPTH): Likewise.
+ (YYSTACK_ALLOC): Define only if YYSTACK_USE_ALLOCA is nonzero.
+ * doc/bison.texinfo (Stack Overflow): YYMAXDEPTH no longer needs
+ to be a compile-time constant. However, explain the constraints on it.
+ Also, explain the constraints on YYINITDEPTH.
+ (Table of Symbols): Explain that alloca is no longer the default.
+ Explain the user's responsibility if they define YYSTACK_USE_ALLOCA
+ to 1.
+
+ * doc/bison.texinfo (Location Default Action): Mention that n must
+ be zero when k is zero. Suggested by Frank Heckenbach.

+
+ * data/lalr1.cc (parser::token_number_type, parser::rhs_number_type)
+ (parser::state_type, parser::semantic_type, parser::location_type):
+ Private, not public.
+ (parser::parse): Return ints, not bool.
+ Returning a bool introduces a problem: 0 corresponds to false, and
+ it seems weird to return false on success. Returning true changes
+ the conventions for yyparse.
+ Alternatively we could return void and send an exception.
+ There is no clear consensus (yet?).
+ (state_stack, semantic_stack, location_stack): Rename as...
+ (state_stack_type, semantic_stack_type, location_stack_type): these.
+ Private, not public.

+ included first.
+ Forward declare them before the user code.

+
+ Remove uses of 'short int' and 'unsigned short int'. This raises
+ some arbitrary limits. It uses more memory but nowadays that's
+ not much of an issue.
+
+ This change does not affect the generated parsers; that's a different
+ task, as some users will want to conserve memory there.
+
+ Ideally we should use size_t to represent all object counts, and
+ something like ptrdiff_t to represent signed differences of object
+ counts; but that will require more code-cleanup than I have the
+ time to do right now.
