+The value may be omitted: this is equivalent to specifying @code{true}, as is

+@code{yyerror} when the tracking of locations has been activated, as shown
+below.
+
+The @code{true} value is very similar to the @code{full} value, the only
+difference is in the signature of @code{yyerror} on Yacc parsers without

+I.e., if @samp{%locations %define api.pure} is passed then the prototypes for
