+       Initialize the muscle table before parsing the command line.
+       * src/getargs.c (quotearg.h, muscle_tab.h): Include.
+       (getargs): Define file_name.
+       * src/main.c (main): Initialize muscle_tab before calling
+       getargs.
+       * src/muscle_tab.c (muscle_init): No longer define file_name, as
+       its value is not available yet.
+
+2008-11-07  Akim Demaille  <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+       Locations without columns for command line arguments.
+       * src/location.c (location_print): Don't display negative columns.
+       * src/location.h: Document this.
+
+2008-11-07  Akim Demaille  <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+       Fix --help.
+       * src/getargs.c (usage): Fix help string for -W.

+
+       Handle more general types of option arguments.
+       * build-aux/cross-options.pl: The argument ends at the first
+       space, not the first non-symbol character.
+       Use @var for each word appearing the argument description.

+
+       Destroy the variants that remain on the stack in case of error.
+       * data/lalr1-fusion.cc (yydestruct_): Invoke the variant's
+       destructor.
+       Display the value only if yymsg is nonnull.
+       (yyreduce): Invoke yydestruct_ when popping lhs symbols.
+
+2008-11-07  Akim Demaille  <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+       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.
+       
+       * data/lalr1-fusion.cc (variant::build(other&)): Destroy other.
+       (b4_variant_if): New.
+       (variant::built): New.
+       Use it whereever the status of the variant changes.
+       * etc/bench.pl.in: Check the penalty of %define assert.
+
+2008-11-07  Akim Demaille  <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+       Use "%define variant" in bench.pl.
+       * etc/bench.pl.in: No longer use the pseudo directive %variants,
+       just use %define variants.
