use these prefixed token names, although the grammar itself still
uses the short names (as in the sample rule given above).
+** Variable api.namespace
+
+ The "namespace" variable is renamed "api.namespace". Backward
+ compatibility is ensured, but upgrading is recommended.
+
+** Variable parse.error
+
+ The variable error controls the verbosity of error messages. The
+ use of the %error-verbose directive is deprecated in favor of
+ %define parse.error "verbose".
+
* Changes in version 2.5 (????-??-??):
** IELR(1) and Canonical LR(1) Support
These features are experimental. More user feedback will help to
stabilize them.
+** Multiple %define's for any variable is now an error not a warning.
+
** %define can now be invoked via the command line.
- Each of these bison command-line options
+ Each of these command-line options
+
+ -D NAME[=VALUE]
+ --define=NAME[=VALUE]
- -D NAME=VALUE
- --define=NAME=VALUE
+ -F NAME[=VALUE]
+ --force-define=NAME[=VALUE]
is equivalent to this grammar file declaration
- %define NAME "VALUE"
+ %define NAME ["VALUE"]
- for any NAME and VALUE. Omitting `=VALUE' on the command line is
- equivalent to omitting `"VALUE"' in the declaration.
+ except that the manner in which Bison processes multiple definitions
+ for the same NAME differs. Most importantly, -F and --force-define
+ quietly override %define, but -D and --define do not. For further
+ details, see the section "Bison Options" in the Bison manual.
** %define variables renamed.
