-Bison Symbols
-*************
-
-`error'
- A token name reserved for error recovery. This token may be used
- in grammar rules so as to allow the Bison parser to recognize an
- error in the grammar without halting the process. In effect, a
- sentence containing an error may be recognized as valid. On a
- parse error, the token `error' becomes the current look-ahead
- token. Actions corresponding to `error' are then executed, and
- the look-ahead token is reset to the token that originally caused
- the violation. *Note Error Recovery::.
-
-`YYABORT'
- Macro to pretend that an unrecoverable syntax error has occurred,
- by making `yyparse' return 1 immediately. The error reporting
- function `yyerror' is not called. *Note The Parser Function
- `yyparse': Parser Function.
-
-`YYACCEPT'
- Macro to pretend that a complete utterance of the language has been
- read, by making `yyparse' return 0 immediately. *Note The Parser
- Function `yyparse': Parser Function.
-
-`YYBACKUP'
- Macro to discard a value from the parser stack and fake a
- look-ahead token. *Note Special Features for Use in Actions:
- Action Features.
-
-`YYERROR'
- Macro to pretend that a syntax error has just been detected: call
- `yyerror' and then perform normal error recovery if possible
- (*note Error Recovery::), or (if recovery is impossible) make
- `yyparse' return 1. *Note Error Recovery::.
-
-`YYERROR_VERBOSE'
- Macro that you define with `#define' in the Bison declarations
- section to request verbose, specific error message strings when
- `yyerror' is called.
-
-`YYINITDEPTH'
- Macro for specifying the initial size of the parser stack. *Note
- Stack Overflow::.
-
-`YYLEX_PARAM'
- Macro for specifying an extra argument (or list of extra
- arguments) for `yyparse' to pass to `yylex'. *Note Calling
- Conventions for Pure Parsers: Pure Calling.
-
-`YYLTYPE'
- Macro for the data type of `yylloc'; a structure with four
- members. *Note Data Types of Locations: Location Type.
-
-`yyltype'
- Default value for YYLTYPE.
-
-`YYMAXDEPTH'
- Macro for specifying the maximum size of the parser stack. *Note
- Stack Overflow::.
-
-`YYPARSE_PARAM'
- Macro for specifying the name of a parameter that `yyparse' should
- accept. *Note Calling Conventions for Pure Parsers: Pure Calling.
-
-`YYRECOVERING'
- Macro whose value indicates whether the parser is recovering from a
- syntax error. *Note Special Features for Use in Actions: Action
- Features.
-
-`YYSTYPE'
- Macro for the data type of semantic values; `int' by default.
- *Note Data Types of Semantic Values: Value Type.
-
-`yychar'
- External integer variable that contains the integer value of the
- current look-ahead token. (In a pure parser, it is a local
- variable within `yyparse'.) Error-recovery rule actions may
- examine this variable. *Note Special Features for Use in Actions:
- Action Features.
-
-`yyclearin'
- Macro used in error-recovery rule actions. It clears the previous
- look-ahead token. *Note Error Recovery::.
-
-`yydebug'
- External integer variable set to zero by default. If `yydebug' is
- given a nonzero value, the parser will output information on input
- symbols and parser action. *Note Debugging Your Parser: Debugging.
-
-`yyerrok'
- Macro to cause parser to recover immediately to its normal mode
- after a parse error. *Note Error Recovery::.
-
-`yyerror'
- User-supplied function to be called by `yyparse' on error. The
- function receives one argument, a pointer to a character string
- containing an error message. *Note The Error Reporting Function
- `yyerror': Error Reporting.
-
-`yylex'
- User-supplied lexical analyzer function, called with no arguments
- to get the next token. *Note The Lexical Analyzer Function
- `yylex': Lexical.
-
-`yylval'
- External variable in which `yylex' should place the semantic value
- associated with a token. (In a pure parser, it is a local
- variable within `yyparse', and its address is passed to `yylex'.)
- *Note Semantic Values of Tokens: Token Values.
-
-`yylloc'
- External variable in which `yylex' should place the line and column
- numbers associated with a token. (In a pure parser, it is a local
- variable within `yyparse', and its address is passed to `yylex'.)
- You can ignore this variable if you don't use the `@' feature in
- the grammar actions. *Note Textual Positions of Tokens: Token
- Positions.
-
-`yynerrs'
- Global variable which Bison increments each time there is a parse
- error. (In a pure parser, it is a local variable within
- `yyparse'.) *Note The Error Reporting Function `yyerror': Error
- Reporting.
-
-`yyparse'
- The parser function produced by Bison; call this function to start
- parsing. *Note The Parser Function `yyparse': Parser Function.
-
-`%debug'
- Equip the parser for debugging. *Note Decl Summary::.
-
-`%defines'
- Bison declaration to create a header file meant for the scanner.
- *Note Decl Summary::.
-
-`%left'
- Bison declaration to assign left associativity to token(s). *Note
- Operator Precedence: Precedence Decl.
-
-`%no_lines'
- Bison declaration to avoid generating `#line' directives in the
- parser file. *Note Decl Summary::.
-
-`%nonassoc'
- Bison declaration to assign non-associativity to token(s). *Note
- Operator Precedence: Precedence Decl.
-
-`%prec'
- Bison declaration to assign a precedence to a specific rule.
- *Note Context-Dependent Precedence: Contextual Precedence.
-
-`%pure_parser'
- Bison declaration to request a pure (reentrant) parser. *Note A
- Pure (Reentrant) Parser: Pure Decl.
-
-`%right'
- Bison declaration to assign right associativity to token(s).
- *Note Operator Precedence: Precedence Decl.
-
-`%start'
- Bison declaration to specify the start symbol. *Note The
- Start-Symbol: Start Decl.
-
-`%token'
- Bison declaration to declare token(s) without specifying
- precedence. *Note Token Type Names: Token Decl.
-
-`%token_table'
- Bison declaration to include a token name table in the parser file.
- *Note Decl Summary::.
-
-`%type'
- Bison declaration to declare nonterminals. *Note Nonterminal
- Symbols: Type Decl.
-
-`%union'
- Bison declaration to specify several possible data types for
- semantic values. *Note The Collection of Value Types: Union Decl.
-
- These are the punctuation and delimiters used in Bison input:
-
-`%%'
- Delimiter used to separate the grammar rule section from the Bison
- declarations section or the additional C code section. *Note The
- Overall Layout of a Bison Grammar: Grammar Layout.
-
-`%{ %}'
- All code listed between `%{' and `%}' is copied directly to the
- output file uninterpreted. Such code forms the "C declarations"
- section of the input file. *Note Outline of a Bison Grammar:
- Grammar Outline.
-
-`/*...*/'
- Comment delimiters, as in C.
-
-`:'
- Separates a rule's result from its components. *Note Syntax of
- Grammar Rules: Rules.
-
-`;'
- Terminates a rule. *Note Syntax of Grammar Rules: Rules.
-
-`|'
- Separates alternate rules for the same result nonterminal. *Note
- Syntax of Grammar Rules: Rules.
