+
+Many applications, like interpreters or compilers, have to produce verbose
+and useful error messages. To achieve this, one must be able to keep track of
+the @dfn{textual position}, or @dfn{location}, of each syntactic construct.
+Bison provides a mechanism for handling these locations.
+
+Each token has a semantic value. In a similar fashion, each token has an
+associated location, but the type of locations is the same for all tokens and
+groupings. Moreover, the output parser is equipped with a default data
+structure for storing locations (@pxref{Locations}, for more details).
+
+Like semantic values, locations can be reached in actions using a dedicated
+set of constructs. In the example above, the location of the whole grouping
+is @code{@@$}, while the locations of the subexpressions are @code{@@1} and
+@code{@@3}.
+
+When a rule is matched, a default action is used to compute the semantic value
+of its left hand side (@pxref{Actions}). In the same way, another default
+action is used for locations. However, the action for locations is general
+enough for most cases, meaning there is usually no need to describe for each
+rule how @code{@@$} should be formed. When building a new location for a given
+grouping, the default behavior of the output parser is to take the beginning
+of the first symbol, and the end of the last symbol.

+Though grammar rules and semantic actions are enough to write a fully

+
+The way locations are handled is defined by providing a data type, and actions
+to take when rules are matched.
+
+@menu

+@subsection Data Type of Locations
+@cindex data type of locations
+@cindex default location type
+
+Defining a data type for locations is much simpler than for semantic values,
+since all tokens and groupings always use the same type.
+
+The type of locations is specified by defining a macro called @code{YYLTYPE}.
+When @code{YYLTYPE} is not defined, Bison uses a default structure type with
+four members:
+
+@example
+struct
+@{
+  int first_line;
+  int first_column;
+  int last_line;
+  int last_column;
+@}
+@end example
+
+@node Actions and Locations, Location Default Action, Location Type, Locations
+@subsection Actions and Locations
+@cindex location actions
+@cindex actions, location
+@vindex @@$
+@vindex @@@var{n}
+
+Actions are not only useful for defining language semantics, but also for
+describing the behavior of the output parser with locations.
+
+The most obvious way for building locations of syntactic groupings is very
+similar to the way semantic values are computed. In a given rule, several
+constructs can be used to access the locations of the elements being matched.
+The location of the @var{n}th component of the right hand side is
+@code{@@@var{n}}, while the location of the left hand side grouping is
+@code{@@$}.
+
+Here is a simple example using the default data type for locations:
+
+@example
+@group
+exp:    @dots{}
+        | exp '+' exp
+            @{

+            @}
+@end group
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+In the example above, there is no need to set the beginning of @code{@@$}. The
+output parser always sets @code{@@$} to @code{@@1} before executing the C
+code of a given action, whether you provide a processing for locations or not.
+
+@node Location Default Action,  , Actions and Locations, Locations
+@subsection Default Action for Locations
+@vindex YYLLOC_DEFAULT
+
+Actually, actions are not the best place to compute locations. Since locations
+are much more general than semantic values, there is room in the output parser
+to define a default action to take for each rule. The @code{YYLLOC_DEFAULT}
+macro is called each time a rule is matched, before the associated action is
+run.
+
+@c Documentation for the old (?) YYLLOC_DEFAULT
+
+This macro takes two parameters, the first one being the location of the
+grouping (the result of the computation), and the second one being the
+location of the last element matched. Of course, before @code{YYLLOC_DEFAULT}
+is run, the result is set to the location of the first component matched.
+
+By default, this macro computes a location that ranges from the beginning of
+the first element to the end of the last element. It is defined this way:
+
+@example
+@group
+#define YYLLOC_DEFAULT(Current, Last)           \
+  Current.last_line     = Last.last_line;       \
+  Current.last_column   = Last.last_column;
+@end group
+@end example
+
+@c not Documentation for the old (?) YYLLOC_DEFAULT

+
+Most of the time, the default action for locations is general enough to
+suppress location dedicated code from most actions.

+Much of the parser generated by Bison is copied verbatim from a file
+called @file{bison.simple}.  If Bison cannot find that file, or if you
+would like to direct Bison to use a different copy, setting the
+environment variable @code{BISON_SIMPLE} to the path of the file will
+cause Bison to use that copy instead.
+
+When the @samp{%semantic_parser} declaration is used, Bison copies from
+a file called @file{bison.hairy} instead.  The location of this file can
+also be specified or overridden in a similar fashion, with the
+@code{BISON_HAIRY} environment variable.
