+# -------------------------------------------------------------
+# Using TITLE as the test group title, check the generated parser tables
+# and parser for a specified grammar file under a condition labeled by
+# COND-VALUE.
+#
+# TEST-SPEC is a comma-delimited list of attributes of this test. Each
+# recognized attribute is described below where it is relevant.
+#
+# Insert DECLS and GRAMMAR into the declarations and grammar section of
+# the grammar file. Insert basic yyerror, yylex, and main function
+# definitions as well. Hardcode yylex to return the (possibly empty)
+# comma-delimited series of tokens in INPUT followed by token 0.
+#
+# If TEST-SPEC contains the attribute no-xml, then invoke bison using
+# AT_BISON_CHECK_NO_XML. Otherwise, invoke bison using AT_BISON_CHECK.
+# On the bison command-line, specify `--report=all --defines'. Check
+# that Bison exits with value 0, has no stdout, and has stderr
+# BISON-STDERR.
+#
+# If TEST-SPEC contains the attribute `last-state', check that the value
+# of TABLES-OR-LAST-STATE is the index of the last state generated for
+# the grammar; in other words, check the number of states (minus one).
+# Otherwise, check that everything in the `.output' file starting with
+# the definition of state 0 is the same as the entire value of
+# TABLES-OR-LAST-STATE.
+#
+# Expand the M4 in OTHER-CHECKS to perform additional checks of the
+# `.output' file, which is named `input.output', and/or grammar file,
+# which is named `input.y'.
+#
+# Finally, compile the generated parser and then run it using
+# AT_PARSER_CHECK with PARSER-EXIT-VALUE, PARSER-STDOUT, and
+# PARSER-STDERR as the 2nd-4th arguments.
+#
+# As a precondition, you must properly double-quote all arguments that
+# are to be interpreted as strings.
+#
+# AT_COND_CASE (when appearing in single-quoted segments of arguments)
+# invokes m4_case with its own arguments but COND-VALUE inserted as the
+# first argument. This is useful, for example, when wrapping multiple
+# AT_TEST_TABLES_AND_PARSE invocations, each representing a different
+# condition, in another macro.
+#
+# For example:
+#
+# # AT_TEST_SYNTAX_ERROR(DESCRIPTION, DECLS, GRAMMAR, INPUT, LAST-STATE,
+# # PARSER-EXIT-VALUE, PARSER-STDOUT, PARSER-STDERR)
