+
+ * src/muscle_tab.c (muscle_percent_define_invalid_value): Replace
+ with...
+ (muscle_percent_define_check_values): ... this more helpful function.
+ Again, it's not used yet, but it will be.
+ * src/muscle_tab.h: Likewise.
+
+ Improve some comments in parser table construction.
+ * src/LR0.c (new_itemsets): Explain sorting of itemset and kernel_base.
+ (generate_states): Don't mention ruleset, which is internal to closure.
+ * src/closure.c (closure): Explain sorting of core and itemset, which
+ is required for this function to behave correctly.
+ * src/closure.h (closure): Mention sorting.
+
+2007-05-28 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@ces.clemson.edu>
+
+ * src/lalr.c (state_lookahead_tokens_count): For code readability,
+ move the check for disabled transitions to an aver since conflict
+ resolution hasn't happened yet.
+
+ * src/lalr.c (state_lookahead_tokens_count): Remove the check that
+ labels a state as inconsistent just because it has error transitions.
+ The original form of this check appeared in revision 1.1 of lalr.c,
+ which was committed on 1991-12-21. Now (at least), changing the
+ consistency label on such a state appears to have no useful effect in
+ any of the places it is examined, which I enumerate below. The key
+ point to understanding each item in this enumeration is that a state
+ with an error transition is labelled consistent in the first place only
+ if it has no rules, so the check cannot matter for states that have
+ rules. (1) Labelling a state as inconsistent will cause set_conflicts
+ to try to identify its conflicts, and a state must have *rules* to have
+ conflicts. (2) Labelling a state as inconsistent will affect how
+ action_row sets the default *rule* for the state. (3) Labelling a
+ state as inconsistent will cause build_relations to add lookback edges
+ to *rules* in that state.
+ * src/state.h (struct state): Word the comment for member consistent
+ more carefully.
