+
+ build: lower gettext requirements.
+
+ Bison was uselessly requiring the formatstring macros from
+ gettext, which resulted in mo files not being installed on systems
+ that perfectly supported Bison mo files. Lower the requirement.
+ http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2009-08/msg00006.html
+
+ * configure.ac: Require need-ngettext instead of
+ need-formatstring-macros.
+ Reported by Martin Jabocs.
+ Suggested by Bruno Haible.
+ * INSTALL: Restructure.
+ (Internationalization): New.

+
+ build: fix the generation of the documentation.
+ Some of our targets use "bison --help", but they can't depend on
+ "bison" itself (to avoid additional requirements on the user), so
+ they used to call "make src/bison" in the commands. Then
+ concurrent builds may fail: one make might be aiming one of its
+ jobs at compiling src/bison, and another job at generating the man
+ page. If the latter is faster than the former, then we have two
+ makes that concurrently try to compile src/bison.
+
+ This might also be a more convincing explanation for the failure
+ described in the patch "build: fix paths".
+
+ * Makefile.am (SUFFIXES): Initialize.
+ * build-aux/move-if-change: New, symlink to gnulib's.
+ * build-aux/local.mk: Ship it.
+ * doc/common.x: Remove, merged into...

+ (common_dep): Remove, inlined where appropriate.
+ (SUFFIXES, PREPATH): Remove, unused.

+ * etc/prefix-gnulib-mk (prefix_assignment): Don't rename
+ gl_LIBOBJS.

+ Prefix directories that are mkdir'd.

+
+ build: fix paths.
+ When using $(top_builddir) inconsistently, Make (including GNU
+ Make) is sometimes confused. As a result it may want to build
+ lib/libbison.la and $(top_builddir)/lib/libbison.la (the same
+ file, different names) concurrently, which, amusingly enough,
+ might end with:
+
+ ranlib lib/libbison.a
+ ranlib lib/libbison.a
+ make[2]: *** [lib/libbison.a] Segmentation fault
+
+ on OS X.
+
+ * doc/local.mk, src/local.mk: Do not use $(top_builddir) when not
+ needed.

+ Miscellaneous code readability improvements.
+
+ * src/reader.c (reader): Move %define front-end variable
+ defaults and checking into...
+ (prepare_percent_define_front_end_variables): ... this new
+ function.
+
+ * src/scan-gram.l (INITIAL): For consistency with string
+ literals, don't store open quote on character literal. It's
+ discarded before returning anyway.
+ (SC_ESCAPED_CHARACTER): Similarly, don't store close quote.
+ Make length test more readable, and make the character stored
+ for an empty literal more obvious while consistent with the
+ previous behavior.
+
+ * src/symtab.c, src/symtab.h: Rename USER_NUMBER_ALIAS to
+ USER_NUMBER_HAS_STRING_ALIAS throughout.
+ * src/symtab.c (symbol_make_alias): Remove comment from symtab.c
+ that is repeated in symtab.h. Improve argument names to make it

+
+ Pacify "gcc -Wunused" for the input function from Flex.
+ Reported by Alex Rozenman. This warning shows up with gcc-4.3.0

+ * src/scan-code.l: Add "%option noinput", which I cannot find in

+ Finer input type for yytranslate.
+ This patch is debatable: the tradition expects yylex to return an int
+ which happens to correspond to token_number (which is an enum). This
+ allows for instance to return characters (such as '*' etc.). But this

+ Introduce make_symbol.
+ make_symbol provides a means to construct a full symbol (kind,
+ value, location) in a single shot. It is meant to be a Symbol
+ constructor, parameterized by the symbol kind so that overloading
+ would prevent incorrect kind/value pairs. Unfortunately
+ parameterized constructors do not work well in C++ (unless the
+ parameter also appears as an argument, which is not acceptable),
+ hence the use of a function instead of a constructor.

Update TODO.
2008-11-10 Akim Demaille <demaille@gostai.com>
Make parser::yytranslate static.
- Small speedup (1%) on the list grammar. And makes yytranslate_ available
- in non member functions.

+ Small speedup (1%) on the list grammar. And makes yytranslate_
+ available in non member functions.
+
* data/lalr1.cc (yytranslate_): Does not need to be a instance
function.
Use "enum" for integral constants.
This is just nicer to read, I observed no speedup.
-
+
* data/lalr1.cc (yyeof_, yylast_, yynnts_, yyempty_, yyfinal_)
(yterror_, yyerrcode_, yyntokens_): Define as members of an enum.
(yyuser_token_number_max_, yyundef_token_): Move into...
hard to filter these tables when only a subset of the symbols (say the
tokens, or the nterms, or the tokens that have and external number
*and* a type-name) was of interest.
-
+
Now instead of monolithic tables, we define one macro per cell. For
instance "b4_symbol(0, tag)" is a macro name which contents is
self-decriptive. The macro "b4_symbol" provides easier access to
these cells.
-
+
* src/output.c (type_names_output): Remove.
(symbol_numbers_output, symbol_definitions_output): New.
(muscles_output): Call them.
Support constructor with an argument.
This improves the "list" bench by 2%.
-
+
* data/lalr1.cc (variant::build): Add an overloaded version with
an argument.
* tests/c++.at (AT_CHECK_VARIANT): Check it.
Unfortunately it is not possible to reuse the %prec directive. This
is because to please POSIX, we do not require to end the rules with a
semicolon. As a result,
-
+
foo: bar %prec baz
-
+
is ambiguous: either a rule which precedence is that of baz, or a rule,
and then a declaration of the precedence of the token baz.
-
+
* doc/bison.texinfo: Document %precedence.
(Precedence Only): New.
* src/assoc.h, src/assoc.c (precedence_assoc): New.

Rely on the state stack to display reduction traces.
- To display rhs symbols before a reduction, we used information about the rule
- reduced, which required the tables yyrhs and yyprhs. Now use rely only on the
- state stack to get the same information.

Reported by Quentin Hocquet.
-
+
* data/lalr1-fusion.cc (YY_SYMBOL_PRINT, YY_REDUCE_PRINT)
(YY_STACK_PRINT): Provide some contents even when !YYDEBUG.
This is used to help the user catch cases where some value gets
ovewritten by a new one. This should not happen, as this will
probably leak.
-
+
Unfortunately this uncovered a bug in the C++ parser itself: the
lookahead value was not destroyed between two calls to yylex. For
instance if the previous lookahead was a std::string, and then an int,
then the value of the std::string was correctly taken (i.e., the
lookahead was now an empty string), but std::string structure itself
was not reclaimed.
-
+
This is now done in variant::build(other&) (which is used to take the
value of the lookahead): other is not only stolen from its value, it
is also destroyed. This incurs a new performance penalty of a few
percent, and union becomes faster again.
-
+
* data/lalr1-fusion.cc (variant::build(other&)): Destroy other.
(b4_variant_if): New.
(variant::built): New.
Make variant.yy more complex.
std::list cannot be copied via memcpy, they are more demanding than
std::string. Use one std::list to strengthen the test.
-
+
* examples/variant.yy: Use lalr1-fusion.cc, not lalr1.cc.
Adjust.
Create a list of strings, instead of a single large string.

Fuse the three stacks into a single one.
- In order to make it easy to perform benchmarks to ensure that there are no
- performance loss, lalr1.cc is forked into lalr1-fusion.cc. Eventually,
- lalr1-fusion.cc will replace lalr1.cc.
-
- Meanwhile, to make sure that lalr1-fusion.cc is correctly exercized by the
- test suite, the user must install a symbolic link from lalr1.cc to it.
-
- Instead of having three stacks (state, value, location), use a stack
- of triples. This considerably simplifies the code (and it will be
- easier not to require locations as currently does the C++ parser),
- and also gives a 10% speedup according to etc/bench (probably mainly since
- memory allocation is done once instead of three times).

Another motivation is to make it easier to destruct properly
semantic values: now that they are bound to their state (hence
symbol type) it will be easier to call the appropriate destructor.

These changes should probably benefit the C parser too.

Use variants to support objects as semantic values.
- This patch was inspired by work by Michiel De Wilde. But he used Boost
- variants which (i) requires Boost on the user side, (ii) is slow, and
- (iii) has useless overhead (the parser knows the type of the semantic value
- there is no reason to duplicate this information as Boost.Variants do).
-
- This implementation reserves a buffer large enough to store the largest
- objects. yy::variant implements this buffer. It was implemented with
- Quentin Hocquet.
