@deffn {Directive} %initial-action @{ @var{code} @}
@findex %initial-action
Declare that the braced @var{code} must be invoked before parsing each time
-@code{yyparse} is called. The @var{code} may use @code{$$} and
-@code{@@$} --- initial value and location of the lookahead --- and the
-@code{%parse-param}.
+@code{yyparse} is called. The @var{code} may use @code{$$} (or
+@code{$<@var{tag}>$}) and @code{@@$} --- initial value and location of the
+lookahead --- and the @code{%parse-param}.
@end deffn
For instance, if your locations use a file name, you may use
@deffn {Directive} %destructor @{ @var{code} @} @var{symbols}
@findex %destructor
Invoke the braced @var{code} whenever the parser discards one of the
-@var{symbols}.
-Within @var{code}, @code{$$} designates the semantic value associated
-with the discarded symbol, and @code{@@$} designates its location.
-The additional parser parameters are also available (@pxref{Parser Function, ,
-The Parser Function @code{yyparse}}).
+@var{symbols}. Within @var{code}, @code{$$} (or @code{$<@var{tag}>$})
+designates the semantic value associated with the discarded symbol, and
+@code{@@$} designates its location. The additional parser parameters are
+also available (@pxref{Parser Function, , The Parser Function
+@code{yyparse}}).
When a symbol is listed among @var{symbols}, its @code{%destructor} is called a
per-symbol @code{%destructor}.
@c This is the same text as for %destructor.
Invoke the braced @var{code} whenever the parser displays one of the
@var{symbols}. Within @var{code}, @code{yyoutput} denotes the output stream
-(a @code{FILE*} in C, and an @code{std::ostream&} in C++),
-@code{$$} designates the semantic value associated with the symbol, and
-@code{@@$} its location. The additional parser parameters are also
-available (@pxref{Parser Function, , The Parser Function @code{yyparse}}).
+(a @code{FILE*} in C, and an @code{std::ostream&} in C++), @code{$$} (or
+@code{$<@var{tag}>$}) designates the semantic value associated with the
+symbol, and @code{@@$} its location. The additional parser parameters are
+also available (@pxref{Parser Function, , The Parser Function
+@code{yyparse}}).
The @var{symbols} are defined as for @code{%destructor} (@pxref{Destructor
Decl, , Freeing Discarded Symbols}.): they can be per-type (e.g.,
@deffn {Directive} %debug
In the parser implementation file, define the macro @code{YYDEBUG} (or
-@code{@var{prefix}DEBUG} with @samp{%define api.prefix @var{prefix}}), see
+@code{@var{prefix}DEBUG} with @samp{%define api.prefix @var{prefix}}, see
@ref{Multiple Parsers, ,Multiple Parsers in the Same Program}) to 1 if it is
not already defined, so that the debugging facilities are compiled.
@xref{Tracing, ,Tracing Your Parser}.
If you have declared @code{%code requires} or @code{%code provides}, the output
header also contains their code.
@xref{%code Summary}.
+
+@cindex Header guard
+The generated header is protected against multiple inclusions with a C
+preprocessor guard: @samp{YY_@var{PREFIX}_@var{FILE}_INCLUDED}, where
+@var{PREFIX} and @var{FILE} are the prefix (@pxref{Multiple Parsers,
+,Multiple Parsers in the Same Program}) and generated file name turned
+uppercase, with each series of non alphanumerical characters converted to a
+single underscore.
+
+For instance with @samp{%define api.prefix "calc"} and @samp{%defines
+"lib/parse.h"}, the header will be guarded as follows.
+@example
+#ifndef YY_CALC_LIB_PARSE_H_INCLUDED
+# define YY_CALC_LIB_PARSE_H_INCLUDED
+...
+#endif /* ! YY_CALC_LIB_PARSE_H_INCLUDED */
+@end example
@end deffn
@deffn {Directive} %defines @var{defines-file}
If the @code{%define} variable @code{api.prefix} is used (@pxref{Multiple
Parsers, ,Multiple Parsers in the Same Program}), for instance @samp{%define
api.prefix x}, then if @code{CDEBUG} is defined, its value controls the
-tracing feature (enabled iff nonzero); otherwise tracing is enabled iff
-@code{YYDEBUG} is nonzero.
+tracing feature (enabled if and only if nonzero); otherwise tracing is
+enabled if and only if @code{YYDEBUG} is nonzero.

Description of the grammar, conflicts (resolved and unresolved), and
parser's automaton.
+@item itemset
+Implies @code{state} and augments the description of the automaton with
+the full set of items for each state, instead of its core only.

@item lookahead
Implies @code{state} and augments the description of the automaton with
each rule's lookahead set.
-@item itemset

-the full set of items for each state, instead of its core only.
+@item solved
+Implies @code{state}. Explain how conflicts were solved thanks to
+precedence and associativity directives.
+
+@item all
+Enable all the items.
+
+@item none
+Do not generate the report.
