+
+ Fix handling of yychar manipulation in user semantic actions.
+ The problem was that yacc.c didn't always update the yychar
+ translation afterwards. However, other skeletons appear to be
+ fine. glr.c appears to already translate yychar before every
+ use. lalr1.cc does not define yychar and does not document its
+ replacement, yyla, for users. It does provide yyclearin, but
+ that does not manipulate yyla and thus requires no translation
+ update. In lalr1.java, yychar is out of scope during semantic
+ actions.
+ * NEWS (2.5): Document.
+ * data/yacc.c (YYBACKUP): Don't bother translating yychar into
+ yytoken here.
+ (yyparse, yypush_parse): Instead, translate before every use of
+ yytoken, and add comments explaining this approach.
+ * tests/actions.at (Destroying lookahead assigned by semantic
+ action): New test group checking that translation happens before
+ lookahead destructor calls at parser return. Previously,
+ incorrect destructors were called.
+ * tests/conflicts.at (%error-verbose and consistent
+ errors): New test group checking that translation happens at
+ syntax error detection before the associated verbose error
+ message and the associated lookahead destructor calls. While
+ the destructor call is fixed by this patch, the verbose error
+ message is currently incorrect due to another bug (see
+ comments in test group), so this is an expected failure for now.

+ yysyntax_error: avoid duplicate lookahead collection.
+ Except when memory reallocation is required, this change
+ eliminates the need to invoke yysyntax_error twice and thus to

+ Fix complaints about escape sequences.
+ Discussed starting at
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2009-08/msg00036.html>.
+ * src/scan-gram.l (SC_ESCAPED_STRING, SC_ESCAPED_CHARACTER):
+ For a \0 and similar escape sequences meaning the null
+ character, report an invalid escape sequence instead of an
+ invalid null character because the latter does not actually
+ appear in the user's input.
+ In all escape sequence complaints, don't escape the initial
+ backslash, and don't quote when the sequence appears at the end
+ of the complaint line unless there's whitespace that quotearg
+ won't escape.
+ Consistently say "invalid" not "unrecognized".
+ Consistently prefer "empty character literal" over "extra
+ characters in character literal" warning for invalid escape
+ sequences; that is, consistently discard those sequences.
+ * tests/input.at (Bad escapes in literals): New.
