+ 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

+ Introduce make_symbol.
+ make_symbol provides a means to construct a full symbol (kind,
+ value, location) in a single shot. It is meant to be a Symbol
+ 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.

Shortcuts in bench directives.
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.
Support constructor with an argument.
This improves the "list" bench by 2%.
-
+
* data/lalr1.cc (variant::build): Add an overloaded version with
an argument.
* tests/c++.at (AT_CHECK_VARIANT): Check it.
Unfortunately it is not possible to reuse the %prec directive. This
is because to please POSIX, we do not require to end the rules with a
semicolon. As a result,
-
+
foo: bar %prec baz
-
+
is ambiguous: either a rule which precedence is that of baz, or a rule,
and then a declaration of the precedence of the token baz.
-
+
* doc/bison.texinfo: Document %precedence.
(Precedence Only): New.
* src/assoc.h, src/assoc.c (precedence_assoc): New.

Rely on the state stack to display reduction traces.

Reported by Quentin Hocquet.
-
+
* data/lalr1-fusion.cc (YY_SYMBOL_PRINT, YY_REDUCE_PRINT)
(YY_STACK_PRINT): Provide some contents even when !YYDEBUG.
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.

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.

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.
