+ * 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.
