+* Various
+** YYERRCODE
+Defined to 256, but not used, not documented. Probably the token
+number for the error token, which POSIX wants to be 256, but which
+Bison might renumber if the user used number 256. Keep fix and doc?
+Throw away?
+
+** YYFAIL
+It is seems to be *really* obsolete now, shall we remove it?
+
+** YYBACKUP
+There is no test about it, no examples in the doc, and I'm not sure
+what it should look like. For instance what follows crashes.
+
+ %error-verbose
+ %debug
+ %pure-parser
+ %code {
+ # include <stdio.h>
+ # include <stdlib.h>
+ # include <assert.h>
+
+ static void yyerror (const char *msg);
+ static int yylex (YYSTYPE *yylval);
+ }
+ %%
+ exp:
+ 'a' { printf ("a: %d\n", $1); }
+ | 'b' { YYBACKUP('a', 123); }
+ ;
+ %%
+ static int
+ yylex (YYSTYPE *yylval)
+ {
+ static char const input[] = "b";
+ static size_t toknum;
+ assert (toknum < sizeof input);
+ *yylval = (toknum + 1) * 10;
+ return input[toknum++];

* Header guards
From Franc,ois: should we keep the directory part in the CPP guard?

-Move to using vector, drop stack.hh.
-
** I18n
Catch up with yacc.c.
part of %if. Akim Demaille thinks it should be in the parser, so as
to avoid falling into another CPP mistake.
-** -D, --define-muscle NAME=VALUE
-To define muscles via cli. Or maybe support directly NAME=VALUE?
-
** XML Output
There are couple of available extensions of Bison targeting some XML
output. Some day we should consider including them. One issue is
Show reductions.
* Broken options ?
-** %no-parser
** %token-table
** Skeleton strategy
-Must we keep %no-parser? %token-table?
-
-* src/print_graph.c
-Find the best graph parameters.
+Must we keep %token-table?
* BTYacc
See if we can integrate backtracking in Bison. Charles-Henri de
-Boysson <de-boy_c@epita.fr> is working on this, and already has some
-results. Vadim Maslow, the maintainer of BTYacc was contacted, and we
-stay in touch with him. Adjusting the Bison grammar parser will be
-needed to support some extra BTYacc features. This is less urgent.

** Keeping the conflicted actions
First, analyze the differences between byacc and btyacc (I'm referring
** Adjust the skeletons
Import the skeletons for C and C++.
-** Improve the skeletons
-Have them support yysymprint, yydestruct and so forth.
-
* Precedence
makes it impossible to have modular precedence information. We should
move to partial orders (sounds like series/parallel orders to me).
-** Correlation b/w precedence and associativity
-Also, I fail to understand why we have to assign the same
-associativity to operators with the same precedence. For instance,
-why can't I decide that the precedence of * and / is the same, but the
-latter is nonassoc?
-
-If there is really no profound motivation, we should find a new syntax
-to allow specifying this.
-
** RR conflicts
See if we can use precedence between rules to solve RR conflicts. See
what POSIX says.
a Bison option where every typed default rule is explicitly written out
(same typed ruled can of course be grouped together).
-Note: Robert Anisko handles this. He knows how to do it.

-* Warnings
-It would be nice to have warning support. See how Autoconf handles
-them, it is fairly well described there. It would be very nice to
-implement this in such a way that other programs could use
-lib/warnings.[ch].
-
-Don't work on this without first announcing you do, as I already have
-thought about it, and know many of the components that can be used to
-implement it.
