find something clean (not like YYLSP_NEEDED...).
-* URGENT: Documenting C++ output
-Write a first documentation for C++ output.
-
+* Installation
* Documentation
Before releasing, make sure the documentation ("Understanding your
parser") refers to the current `output' format.
-
-* GLR & C++
-Currently, the GLR parser cannot compile with a C++ compiler.
-
+* lalr1.cc
+** vector
+Move to using vector, drop stack.hh.
* Report
** GLR
How would Paul like to display the conflicted actions? In particular,
-what when two reductions are possible on a given look-ahead token, but one is
+what when two reductions are possible on a given lookahead token, but one is
part of $default. Should we make the two reductions explicit, or just
keep $default? See the following point.
a sample text exhibiting the (LALR) ambiguity. See the paper from
DeRemer and Penello: they already provide the algorithm.
+** Statically check for potential ambiguities in GLR grammars. See
+<http://www.i3s.unice.fr/~schmitz/papers.html#expamb> for an approach.
-* Extensions
-
-** %destructor
-I think we should document it as experimental, and allow its use in
-the next releases. But we also need to port it to GLR. What about
-lalr1.cc? Well, read what Hans reported, maybe we don't want
-%detructor. On the other hand, there is no reason not to provide it:
-users can avoid its use.
-
-** $foo
-Have a look at the Lemon parser generator: instead of $1, $2 etc. they
-can name the values. This is much more pleasant. For instance:
- exp (res): exp (a) '+' exp (b) { $res = $a + $b; };
-
-I love this. I have been bitten too often by the removal of the
-symbol, and forgetting to shift all the $n to $n-1. If you are
-unlucky, it compiles...
+* Extensions
** $-1
We should find a means to provide an access to values deep in the
Or something like this.
-** yysymprint interface
-It should be improved, in particular when using Bison features such as
-locations, and YYPARSE_PARAMS. For the time being, it is almost
-recommended to yyprint to steal internal variables...
-
-** Several %unions
-I think this is a pleasant (but useless currently) feature, but in the
-future, I want a means to %include other bits of grammars, and _then_
-it will be important for the various bits to define their needs in
-%union.
-
-When implementing multiple-%union support, bare the following in mind:
-
-- when --yacc, this must be flagged as an error. Don't make it fatal
- though.
-
-- The #line must now appear *inside* the definition of yystype.
- Something like
-
- {
- #line 12 "foo.y"
- int ival;
- #line 23 "foo.y"
- char *sval;
- }
-
** %if and the like
It should be possible to have %if/%else/%endif. The implementation is
not clear: should it be lexical or syntactic. Vadim Maslow thinks it
* Java, Fortran, etc.
-** Java
-
-There are a couple of proposed outputs:
-
-- BYACC/J
- which is based on Byacc.
- <http://troi.lincom-asg.com/~rjamison/byacc/>
-
-- Bison Java
- which is based on Bison.

-Sebastien Serrurier (serrur_s@epita.fr) is working on this: he is
-expected to contact the authors, design the output, and implement it
-into Bison.

+Find the best graph parameters.
* BTYacc
See if we can integrate backtracking in Bison. Charles-Henri de
makes it impossible to have modular precedence information. We should
move to partial orders (sounds like series/parallel orders to me).
-This will be possible with a Bison parser for the grammar, as it will
-make it much easier to extend the grammar.
-
** Correlation b/w precedence and associativity
Also, I fail to understand why we have to assign the same
associativity to operators with the same precedence. For instance,
I was wondering what you think about adding YYACT_PROLOGUE/EPILOGUE
to bison. If you're interested, I'll work on a patch.
-* Move to Graphviz
-Well, VCG seems really dead. Move to Graphviz instead. Also, equip
-the parser with a means to create the (visual) parse tree.
+* Better graphics
+Equip the parser with a means to create the (visual) parse tree.
