When no ambiguity is possible, original symbol names may be used
as named references:
- if_stmt : 'if' cond_expr 'then' then_stmt ';'
+ if_stmt : "if" cond_expr "then" then_stmt ';'
{ $if_stmt = mk_if_stmt($cond_expr, $then_stmt); }
In the more common case, explicit names may be declared:
- stmt[res] : 'if' expr[cond] 'then' stmt[then] 'else' stmt[else] ';'
+ stmt[res] : "if" expr[cond] "then" stmt[then] "else" stmt[else] ';'
{ $res = mk_if_stmt($cond, $then, $else); }
Location information is also accessible using @name syntax. When
except that the manner in which Bison processes multiple definitions
for the same NAME differs. Most importantly, -F and --force-define
quietly override %define, but -D and --define do not. For further

*** Variables renamed:
Similarly to the C parsers, the C++ parsers now define the YYRHSLOC

expected tokens can then be reported, the verbose syntax error
message described above is suppressed, and the parser instead

suppression was sometimes erroneously triggered by %nonassoc when a

For example, given the following command line, Bison now enables all

consequences for the -W and --warnings command-line options. For
