+
+ 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.
+

+
+ Add "%define assert" to variants.
+ This is used to help the user catch cases where some value gets

+
+ 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

+ (data_type, stack_type, yystack_): New.
+ (YYLLOC_DEFAULT, yypush_): Adjust.
+ (yyerror_range): Now based on data_type, not location_type.

+
+ 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.
