+** Fix compiler warnings in the generated parser (yacc.c, glr.c)
+
+  The compilation of pure parsers (%define api.pure) can trigger GCC
+  warnings such as:
+
+    input.c: In function 'yyparse':
+    input.c:1503:12: warning: 'yylval' may be used uninitialized in this
+                              function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
+       *++yyvsp = yylval;
+                ^
+
+  This is now fixed; pragmas to avoid these warnings are no longer needed.
+
+  Warnings from clang ("equality comparison with extraneous parentheses" and
+  "function declared 'noreturn' should not return") have also been
+  addressed.
