+
+ 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.

+ Introduce make_symbol.
+ make_symbol provides a means to construct a full symbol (kind, value,

+ parameterized by the symbol kind so that overloading would prevent

+ not work well in C++ (unless the parameter also appears as an argument,
+ which is not acceptable), hence the use of a function instead of a
+ constructor.

+
+ Change the handling of the symbols in the skeletons.
+ Before we were using tables which lines were the symbols and which
+ columns were things like number, tag, type-name etc. It is was
+ difficult to extend: each time a column was added, all the numbers had
+ to be updated (you asked for colon $2, not for "tag"). Also, it was
+ hard to filter these tables when only a subset of the symbols (say the
+ tokens, or the nterms, or the tokens that have and external number
+ *and* a type-name) was of interest.
+
+ Now instead of monolithic tables, we define one macro per cell. For
+ instance "b4_symbol(0, tag)" is a macro name which contents is
+ self-decriptive. The macro "b4_symbol" provides easier access to
+ these cells.

2008-11-07 Akim Demaille <demaille@gostai.com>
Initialize the muscle table before parsing the command line.
This is used to help the user catch cases where some value gets
ovewritten by a new one. This should not happen, as this will
probably leak.
-
+
Unfortunately this uncovered a bug in the C++ parser itself: the
lookahead value was not destroyed between two calls to yylex. For
instance if the previous lookahead was a std::string, and then an int,
then the value of the std::string was correctly taken (i.e., the
lookahead was now an empty string), but std::string structure itself
was not reclaimed.
-
+
This is now done in variant::build(other&) (which is used to take the
value of the lookahead): other is not only stolen from its value, it
is also destroyed. This incurs a new performance penalty of a few
percent, and union becomes faster again.
-
+
* data/lalr1-fusion.cc (variant::build(other&)): Destroy other.
(b4_variant_if): New.
(variant::built): New.
Make variant.yy more complex.
std::list cannot be copied via memcpy, they are more demanding than
std::string. Use one std::list to strengthen the test.
-
+
* examples/variant.yy: Use lalr1-fusion.cc, not lalr1.cc.
Adjust.
Create a list of strings, instead of a single large string.
In order to make it easy to perform benchmarks to ensure that there are no
performance loss, lalr1.cc is forked into lalr1-fusion.cc. Eventually,
lalr1-fusion.cc will replace lalr1.cc.
-
+
Meanwhile, to make sure that lalr1-fusion.cc is correctly exercized by the
test suite, the user must install a symbolic link from lalr1.cc to it.
-
+
Instead of having three stacks (state, value, location), use a stack
of triples. This considerably simplifies the code (and it will be
easier not to require locations as currently does the C++ parser),
and also gives a 10% speedup according to etc/bench (probably mainly since
memory allocation is done once instead of three times).
-
+
Another motivation is to make it easier to destruct properly
semantic values: now that they are bound to their state (hence
symbol type) it will be easier to call the appropriate destructor.
-
+
These changes should probably benefit the C parser too.
-
+
* data/lalr1.cc: Copy as... * data/lalr1-fusion.cc: this new
file.
(b4_rhs_value, b4_rhs_location): New definitions overriding those
Push the state, value, and location at the same time.
This is needed to prepare a forthcoming patch that fuses the three
stacks into one.
-
+
* data/lalr1.cc (parser::yypush_): New.
(parser::yynewstate): Change the semantics: instead of arriving to
this label when value and location have been pushed, but yystate
variants which (i) requires Boost on the user side, (ii) is slow, and
(iii) has useless overhead (the parser knows the type of the semantic value
there is no reason to duplicate this information as Boost.Variants do).
-
+
This implementation reserves a buffer large enough to store the largest
objects. yy::variant implements this buffer. It was implemented with
Quentin Hocquet.
-
+
* src/output.c (type_names_output): New.
(output_skeleton): Invoke it.
* data/c++.m4 (b4_variant_if): New.
Parameterize the extraction of semantic values.
To make future changes easier, no longer rely on ".TYPE" being the
way to get a semantic value.

+
* data/c.m4 (b4_symbol_value): New.
Use it.
* data/c++.m4, data/yacc.c: Use it.
