+
+ 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.
+ * tests/input.at (Bad escapes in literals): New.

+ variables: simplify the upgrade of namespace into api.namespace.
+
+ This patch simplifies "variables: rename namespace as
+ api.namespace", commit 67501061076ba46355cfd9f9361c7eed861b389c.
+ Suggested by Joel E. Denny in

+ (muscle_percent_define_insert): Use it in replacement of the
+ previous tr invocation.
+ Remove variable_tr, no longer needed.
+ * data/bison.m4 (b4_percent_define_copy_, b4_percent_define_copy):
+ Remove.
+ * data/c++.m4: No longer handle namespace -> api.namespace.

+ yystate and yystack_[0].state are equal, keep only the latter.
+ The former was also used as a temporary variable to compute the
+ post-reduction state. Move this computation into an auxiliary
+ function.

+
+ 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".
+
+ * Makefile.am (SUFFIXES): Initialize.
+ * build-aux/move-if-change: New, symlink to gnulib's.
+ * build-aux/local.mk: Ship it.

+ (common_dep): Remove, inlined where appropriate.
+ (SUFFIXES, PREPATH): Remove, unused.

+ Adjust more variables.
+ * etc/prefix-gnulib-mk (prefix_assignment): Don't rename
+ gl_LIBOBJS.

+ Prefix directories that are mkdir'd.

+
+ build: fix paths.
+ When using $(top_builddir) inconsistently, Make (including GNU
+ Make) is sometimes confused. As a result it may want to build
+ lib/libbison.la and $(top_builddir)/lib/libbison.la (the same
+ file, different names) concurrently, which, amusingly enough,
+ might end with:
+
+ ranlib lib/libbison.a
+ ranlib lib/libbison.a
+ make[2]: *** [lib/libbison.a] Segmentation fault
+
+ on OS X.
+
+ * doc/local.mk, src/local.mk: Do not use $(top_builddir) when not
+ needed.

+

+
+ Miscellaneous code readability improvements.
+
+ * src/reader.c (reader): Move %define front-end variable
+ defaults and checking into...
+ (prepare_percent_define_front_end_variables): ... this new
+ function.
+
+ * src/scan-gram.l (INITIAL): For consistency with string
+ literals, don't store open quote on character literal. It's
+ discarded before returning anyway.
+ (SC_ESCAPED_CHARACTER): Similarly, don't store close quote.
+ Make length test more readable, and make the character stored
+ for an empty literal more obvious while consistent with the
+ previous behavior.
+
+ * src/symtab.c, src/symtab.h: Rename USER_NUMBER_ALIAS to
+ USER_NUMBER_HAS_STRING_ALIAS throughout.
+ * src/symtab.c (symbol_make_alias): Remove comment from symtab.c
+ that is repeated in symtab.h. Improve argument names to make it
+ clear which side of the symbol-string alias pair is which.
+ (symbol_check_alias_consistency): Improve local variable names
+ for the same purpose.
+ * src/symtab.h (struct symbol): Make comments about aliases
+ clearer.
+ (symbol_make_alias): Improve comments and argument name.
+ * src/output.c (token_definitions_output): Update for rename to
+ USER_NUMBER_HAS_STRING_ALIAS and improve comments about aliases.
+
