+
+ Use "Unresolved reference" error message when no symbols were found
+ in a symbolic reference resolution. Remove .expr and -expr from
+ the shown reference when the reference is unresolved.
+ * src/scan-code.l: Change the error message, adjust location columns,
+ rename variable "exact_mode" to "explicit_bracketing".
+ * tests/named-ref.at: Adjust existing tests and add a new one.

+
+ Fix gcc 3.4.4 shadowing warning reported by Eric Blake.
+ See
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2009-08/msg00093.html>.
+ * src/scan-code.h (code_props_rule_action_init): Rename
+ named_ref arg to name so it doesn't shadow named_ref type. This
+ makes it consistent with the function definition in scan-code.l
+ anyway.
+
+2009-08-28 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+ %define: accept unquoted values.

+
+ tests: use perl for printing special sequences to files.
+ And skip tests if perl is not available. This is better than
+ playing tricks with shell portability. Suggested by Akim
+ Demaille.
+ * tests/input.at (Bad character literals): Use it here for
+ omitting final newlines.
+ (Bad escapes in literals): Use it here for special characters.

+
+ Actually handle the yytable zero value correctly this time.
+ * data/glr.c, data/lalr1.cc, data/lalr1.java, data/yacc.c: Don't
+ mention zero values in the YYTABLE comments.
+ * data/glr.c (yytable_value_is_error): Don't check for zero
+ value.
+ * data/lalr1.cc (yy_table_value_is_error_): Likewise.
+ * data/yacc.c (yytable_value_is_error): Likewise.
+ * data/lalr1.java (yy_table_value_is_error_): Likewise.
+ (yysyntax_error): Fix typo in code: use yytable_ not yycheck_.
+ * src/tables.h: In header comments, explain why it's useless to
+ check for a zero value in yytable.
+
+2009-08-25 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+ More fixes related to last two patches.
+ * data/c.m4 (b4_table_value_equals): Comment that YYID must be
+ defined.
+ * data/glr.c, data/lalr1.cc, data/lalr1.java, data/yacc.c: Fix
+ yytable comments: zero indicates syntax error not default
+ action.
+ * data/glr.c (yyis_pact_ninf): Rename to...
+ (yypact_value_is_default): ... this.
+ (yyisDefaultedState): Update for rename.
+ (yyis_table_ninf): Rename to...
+ (yytable_value_is_error): ... this, and check for value zero
+ besides just YYTABLE_NINF.
+ (yygetLRActions): Check for default value from yypact. It
+ appears that this check is always performed before this function
+ is invoked, and so adding the check here is probably redundant.
+ However, the code may evolve after this subtlety is forgotten.
+ Also, update for rename to yytable_value_is_error. Because that
+ macro now checks for zero, a different but equivalent branch of
+ the if-then-else here is evaluated.
+ (yyreportSyntaxError): Update for rename to
+ yytable_value_is_error. The zero condition was mishandled
+ before.
+ (yyrecoverSyntaxError): Update for renames. No behavioral
+ changes.
+ * data/lalr1.cc, data/lalr1.java (yy_pact_value_is_default_):
+ New function.
+ (yy_table_value_is_error_): New function.
+ (parse): Use new functions where possible. No behavioral
+ changes.
+ (yysyntax_error_, yysyntax_error): Use yy_table_value_is_error_.
+ The zero condition was mishandled before.
+ * data/yacc.c (yyis_pact_ninf): Rename to...
+ (yypact_value_is_default): ... this.
+ (yyis_table_ninf): Rename to...
+ (yytable_value_is_error): ... this, and check for value zero
+ besides just YYTABLE_NINF.
+ (yysyntax_error): Update for rename to yytable_value_is_error.
+ The zero condition was mishandled before.
+ (yyparse): Update for renames. No behavioral changes.
+ * src/tables.h: Improve comments about yypact, yytable, etc.
+ more. Most importantly, say yytable value of zero means syntax
+ error not default action.

+ quote rather than implementing quoting here.
