+
+ Instead of using make_symbol<TOK_FOO>, generate make_FOO for each token type.
+ Using template buys us nothing, and makes it uselessly complex to
+ construct a symbol. Besides, it could not be generalized to other
+ languages, while make_FOO would work in C/Java etc.
+
+ * data/lalr1.cc (b4_symbol_): New.
+ (b4_symbol): Use it.
+ (b4_symbol_constructor_declaration_)
+ (b4_symbol_constructor_definition_): Instead of generating
+ specializations of an overloaded template function, just generate
+ several functions whose names are forged from the token names
+ without the token.prefix.
+ (b4_symbol_constructor_declarations): Generate them for all the
+ symbols, not just by class of symbol type, now that instead of
+ specializing a function template by the token, we generate a
+ function named after the token.
+ (b4_symbol_constructor_specialization_)
+ (b4_symbol_constructor_specializations): Remove.
+ * etc/bench.pl.in: Adjust to this new API.

+
+ %define token.prefix.
+ Provide a means to add a prefix to the name of the tokens as output in the
+ generated files. Because of name clashes, it is good to have such a
+ prefix such as TOK_ that protects from names such as EOF, FILE etc.
+ But it clutters the grammar itself.
+
+ * data/bison.m4 (token.prefix): Empty by default.
+ * data/c.m4 (b4_token_enum, b4_token_define): Use it.
+ * data/lalr1.cc (b4_symbol): Ditto.

+ (b4_rhs_data): Use it.

+
+ symbol::token.
+ This is allows the user to get the type of a token return by
+ yylex.
+
+ * data/lalr1.cc (symbol::token): New.
+ (yytoknum_): Define when %define lex_symbol, independently of
+ %debug.
+ (yytoken_number_): Move into...
+ (symbol::token): here, since that's the only use.
+ The other one is YYPRINT which was not officially supported
+ by lalr1.cc, and anyway it did not work since YYPRINT uses this
+ array under a different name (yytoknum).

+ YYERRCODE.
+ * TODO (YYERRCODE): Mention the case of $undef.

+
+ Comment changes.
+ * data/lalr1.cc, data/yacc.c: Fix the description of the
+ yytranslate and yytoknum tables.
+
+2008-11-13 Akim Demaille <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+ Define make_symbol in the header.
+ To reach good performances these functions should be inlined (yet this is
+ to measure precisely). To this end they must be available to the caller.
+
+ * data/lalr1.cc (b4_symbol_constructor_definition_): Qualify
+ location_type with the class name.
+ Since will now be output in the header, declare "inline".
+ No longer use b4_symbol_constructor_specializations, but
+ b4_symbol_constructor_definitions in the header.
+ Don't call it in the *.cc file.
+
+2008-11-13 Akim Demaille <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+ Define yytranslate in the header for lex_symbol.
+ * data/lalr1.cc: Move the invocation of b4_yytranslate_definition
+ into the header file when using %define lex_symbol.
+ (yytranslate_): Declare inline.
+
+2008-11-13 Akim Demaille <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+ Define the constructors of symbol_type in b4_symbol_constructor_definitions.
+ The constructors are called by the make_symbol functions, which a
+ forthcoming patch will move elsewhere. Hence the interest of putting them
+ together.
+
+ The stack_symbol_type does not need to be moved, it is used only by the
+ parser.
+
+ * data/lalr1.cc: Move symbol_type and symbol_base_type
+ constructors into...
+ (b4_symbol_constructor_definitions): here.
+ Adjust.
+
+2008-11-13 Akim Demaille <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+ Make it easier to move the definition of yytranslate_.
+ Forthcoming changes will make it possible to use yytranslate_
+ from outside the parser implementation file.
+
+ * data/lalr1.cc (b4_yytranslate_definition): New.
+ Use it.
+
+2008-11-13 Akim Demaille <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+ Remove useless class specification.
+ * data/lalr1.cc (b4_symbol_constructor_specialization_): No need
+ to refer to the class name to use a type defined by the class for
+ arguments of member functions.
+
+2008-11-13 Akim Demaille <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+ Finer input type for yytranslate.
+ This patch is debatable: the tradition expects yylex to return an int
+ which happens to correspond to token_number (which is an enum). This
+ allows for instance to return characters (such as '*' etc.). But this
+ goes against the stronger typing I am trying to have with the new
+ lex interface which return a symbol_type. So in this case, feed
+ yytranslate_ with a token_type.
+
+ * data/lalr1.cc (yytranslate_): When in %define lex-symbol,
+ expect a token_type.
+
+2008-11-13 Akim Demaille <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+ Honor lex-params in %define lex_symbol mode.
+ * data/lalr1.cc: Use b4_lex_param.
+
+2008-11-13 Akim Demaille <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+ Simplify names.
+ * src/output.c (symbol_definitions_output): Rename symbol
+ attributes type_name and has_type_name as type and has_type.
+ * data/lalr1.cc: Adjust uses.
+
+2008-11-13 Akim Demaille <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+ Use b4_type_names for the union type.
+ The union used to compute the size of the variant used to iterate over the
+ type of all the symbols, with a lot of redundancy. Now iterate over the
+ lists of symbols having the same type-name.
+
+ * data/lalr1.cc (b4_char_sizeof_): New.
+ (b4_char_sizeof): Use it.
+ Adjust to be called with a list of numbers instead of a single
+ number.
+ Adjust its caller for new-line issues.
+
+2008-11-13 Akim Demaille <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+ Define the "identifier" of a symbol.
+ Symbols may have several string representations, for instance if they
+ have an alias. What I call its "id" is a string that can be used as
+ an identifier. May not exist.
+
+ Currently the symbols which have the "tag_is_id" flag set are those that
+ don't have an alias. Look harder for the id.
+
+ * src/output.c (is_identifier): Move to...
+ * src/symtab.c (is_identifier): here.
+ * src/symtab.h, src/symtab.c (symbol_id_get): New.
+ * src/output.c (symbol_definitions_output): Use it to define "id"
+ and "has_id".
+ Remove the definition of "tag_is_id".
+ * data/lalr1.cc: Use the "id" and "has_id" whereever "tag" and
+ "tag_is_id" were used to produce code.
+ We still use "tag" for documentation.
+
+2008-11-11 Akim Demaille <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+ Locations are no longer required by lalr1.cc.
+ * data/lalr1.cc (_b4_args, b4_args): New.
+ Adjust all uses of locations to make them optional.
+ * tests/c++.at (AT_CHECK_VARIANTS): No longer use the locations.
+ (AT_CHECK_NAMESPACE): Check the use of locations.
+ * tests/calc.at (_AT_DATA_CALC_Y): Adjust to be usable with or
+ without locations with lalr1.cc.
+ Test these cases.
+ * tests/output.at: Check lalr1.cc with and without location
+ support.
+ * tests/regression.at (_AT_DATA_EXPECT2_Y, _AT_DATA_DANCER_Y):
+ Don't use locations.
