+
+ 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
+ repeat the collection of lookaheads. It also prepares for
+ future extensions that will make those repetitions more
+ expensive and that will require additional memory management in
+ yysyntax_error. Finally, it fixes an obscure bug already
+ exercised in the test suite.
+ * data/yacc.c (yysyntax_error): Add arguments for message
+ buffer variables stored in the parser. Instead of size, return
+ status similar to yyparse status but indicating success of
+ message creation. Other than the actual reallocation of the
+ message buffer, import and clean up memory management code
+ from...
+ (yyparse, yypush_parse): ... here.

+ use YYDEBUG environment variable to set yydebug.

+ appears that this check is always performed before this function
+ is invoked, and so adding the check here is probably redundant.
+ However, the code may evolve after this subtlety is forgotten.
+ Also, update for rename to yytable_value_is_error. Because that

+ 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.

+
+ 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".
