+Changes in version 1.75c:
-Changes in version 1.75b:
+* GLR and inline
+ Users of Bison have to decide how they handle the portability of the
+ C keyword `inline'.
-* Bison now parses C99 lexical constructs like digraphs, UCNs, and
- backslash-newline within C escape sequences, as POSIX now requires.
+Changes in version 1.75b, 2002-11-13:
-Changes in version 1.75a, 2002-10-24:
+* %destructor
+ It is now possible to reclaim the memory associated to symbols
+ discarded during error recovery. This feature is still experimental.
-* Bison can no longer be built by a K&R C compiler; it requires C89 or
- later to be built. This change originally took place a few versions
- ago, but nobody noticed until we recently asked someone to try
- building Bison with a K&R C compiler.
+* Bison now parses C99 lexical constructs like UCNs and
+ backslash-newline within C escape sequences, as POSIX 1003.1-2001 requires.
+
+* --no-line works properly.
* %error-verbose
This new directive is preferred over YYERROR_VERBOSE.
In addition, they provide a means for yyerror to remain pure, and
to access to the current location.
+ #defining yyerror to steal internal variables is strongly
+ discouraged. It is not guaranteed to work for ever.
+
+* #line
+ Bison now recognizes #line in its input, and forwards them.
+
+* #line
+ File names are properly escaped. E.g. foo\bar.y give #line 123 "foo\\bar.y".

Changes in version 1.75, 2002-10-14:
* Bison should now work on 64-bit hosts.
the user symbol is used in the reports, the graphs, and the verbose
error messages instead of `$end', which remains being the default.
For instance
- %token YYEOF 0
+ %token MYEOF 0
or
- %token YYEOF 0 "end of file"
+ %token MYEOF 0 "end of file"
* Semantic parser
This old option, which has been broken for ages, is removed.

- output file name. `-d' and `-g' do not change, they do not take any
