+
+ 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

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

+ constructor, parameterized by the symbol kind so that overloading
+ would prevent incorrect kind/value pairs. Unfortunately
+ parameterized constructors do 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.
+
+ * src/output.c (type_names_output): Remove.
+ (symbol_numbers_output, symbol_definitions_output): New.
+ (muscles_output): Call them.

+
+ Add "%define assert" to variants.
+ 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.

+
+ Fuse the three stacks into a single one.
+
+ 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
+ from c++.m4.
+ (state_stack_type, semantic_stack_type, location_stack_type)
+ (yystate_stack_, yysemantic_stack_, yylocation_stack_): Remove.
+ (data_type, stack_type, yystack_): New.
+ (YYLLOC_DEFAULT, yypush_): Adjust.
+ (yyerror_range): Now based on data_type, not location_type.
+
+2008-11-03 Akim Demaille <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+ 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
+ is to be pushed on the state stack, now the three of them must
+ have been pushed before. yystate still must be the new state.
+ This allows to use yypush_ everywhere instead of individual
+ handling of the stacks.
+
+2008-11-03 Akim Demaille <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+ Prefer references to pointers.
+ * data/lalr1.cc (b4_symbol_actions): New, overrides the default C

+
+ Use variants to support objects as semantic values.
+ This patch was inspired by work by Michiel De Wilde. But he used
+ Boost 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.
+ (b4_symbol_value): If needed, provide a definition for variants.
+ * data/lalr1.cc (b4_symbol_value, b4_symbol_action_)
+ (b4_symbol_variant, _b4_char_sizeof_counter, _b4_char_sizeof_dummy)
+ (b4_char_sizeof, yy::variant): New.
+ (parser::parse): If variants are requested, define
+ parser::union_type, parser::variant, change the definition of
+ semantic_type, construct $$ before running the user action instead
+ of performing a default $$ = $1.
+ * examples/variant.yy: New.
+ Based on an example by Michiel De Wilde.
+

+ Parameterize the extraction of semantic values.

+ Improve forward-compatibility with GNU M4. Reported by Eric Blake at
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2008-07/msg00000.html>.
+ * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add unsetenv.

+ (/setenv.m4): Add.
+ * src/output.c (output_skeleton): For the m4 invocation, pass -dV as
+ the first argument because it may become position-dependent, and unset
+ POSIXLY_CORRECT so Bison's skeletons have access to GNU M4 extensions.
+ Add comments explaining these issues in more detail.
+
+2008-07-14 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@ces.clemson.edu>

+
+2008-05-23 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@ces.clemson.edu>

+ (Release Procedure): Add FIXME about make alpha being unmaintained.
+
+2008-05-13 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@ces.clemson.edu>
+
+ * data/yacc.c: Reformat m4 a little for readability.

+
+2008-05-12 Juan Manuel Guerrero <juan.guerrero@gmx.de>
+

+
+2008-04-23 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
+
+ Revert prior patch, by working around autoconf regression.
+ * tests/output.at (m4_expand): Add workaround for autoconf 2.62.
+ ("Output file name: ("): Uncomment test.
+ ("Output file name: )"): Likewise.
+ Based on an idea from Noah Misch.
+
+2008-04-21 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@ces.clemson.edu>
+
+ Work-around an Autoconf 2.62 AT_SETUP bug that was not present in
+ 2.61. Reported by Juan Manuel Guerrero at
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2008-04/msg00011.html>.
+ * tests/output.at ("Output file name: ("): Comment out test case for
+ now.
+ ("Output file name: )"): Likewise.
+
+2008-04-21 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@ces.clemson.edu>
+
+ * GNUmakefile: Update git-version-gen invocation so make dist
+ succeeds.
+
+2008-04-21 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@ces.clemson.edu>
+
+ Update to the current gnulib CVS repository, and fix trigraph handling
+ in Bison.
+ * bootstrap: Update gnulib CVS repository URL.
+ (symlink_to_dir): Encapsulate the code that guarantees the destination
+ directory exists into...
+ (check_dst_dir): ... this new function, and...
+ (cp_mark_as_generated): ... reuse it here so that bootstrap doesn't
+ fail when copying files into lib/uniwidth/.
+ * src/output.c (prepare_symbols): When writing yytname muscles, where
+ symbol names will be encoded in C-string literals, tell quotearg to
+ escape trigraphs. This used to be the default in gnulib.
+ * tests/regression.at (Token definitions): Because of the change in
+ gnulib's quotearg behavior, string_as_id in parse-gram.y no longer
+ escapes trigraphs in symbol names. Thus, yytname no longer has
+ trigraphs unnecessarily doubly escaped. Update test case output.
+ Extend test case to be sure Bison's own error messages will no longer
+ have trigraphs in symbol names unnecessarily escaped once.
+
+2008-04-20 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@ces.clemson.edu>

+
+ * NEWS (2.3a+): Mention that -g now takes an argument.
+ * doc/bison.texinfo (Bison Options): Reword -W entry a little for
+ consistency. Update the -g and -x entries now that they take
+ arguments. Use brackets to indicate optional arguments.
+ * src/getargs.c (usage): Explain the relationship between arguments of
+ long and short options more completely. Document --defines and -d
+ separately since the former takes an argument but, for POSIX Yacc, the
+ latter does not.
+ (short_options): Let -W take an optional argument like --warnings.
+ (getargs): Sort cases.
+
+2008-02-28 Akim Demaille <demaille@gostai.com>

+
+2008-02-28 Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>
+
+ * src/getargs.c (short_options): Split and sort for readability.
+ -g and -x take optional arguments, just like their long options.
+ * build-aux/cross-options.pl: Use /x to make the regexp easier to
+ understand.
+ Fix the handling of $opt which resulted in all the argument to be
+ considered as optional.
+
+2008-02-22 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@ces.clemson.edu>
+
+ * NEWS (2.3a+): Don't say %language is experimental. Mention Java and
+ say its interface is experimental.
+ * doc/bison.texinfo (Decl Summary): In the %language entry, mention
+ Java.

+
+ Fix impure push parser compile error reported by Bob Rossi at
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-bison/2008-02/msg00023.html>.
+ * data/yacc.c: Clean up whitespace in the output a little.
+ (yypstate_allocated): Define for impure push parsers regardless of
+ whether the pull interface is also requested.
+ * tests/push.at (Push Parsing: Multiple impure instances): Extend to
+ check impure push parsers without the pull interface.
+
+ * data/yacc.c (yypstate_new): Don't try to invoke yyerror since
+ yyerror takes arguments specified by %parse-param while yypstate_new
+ does not.
+ * doc/bison.texinfo (Parser Create Function): Document that
+ yypstate_new returns 0 for multiple impure parser instances.
+ * tests/push.at (Push Parsing: Multiple impure instances): Update
+ expected stderr output.
+

+ Remove old yacc.c tests, and update push.c tests to yacc.c.
+
+2008-02-17 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@ces.clemson.edu>
+
+ * data/bison.m4 (b4_percent_code_get): Output %code block comments like
