+
+ portability: fix several issues with M4 subprocess.
+
+ M4's output pipe was not being drained upon fatal errors during
+ scan_skel. As a result, broken-pipe messages from M4 were seen
+ on at least AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and RHEL4, and this caused a
+ failure in the test suite. The problem was that, on platforms
+ where the default disposition for SIGPIPE is ignore instead of
+ terminate, M4 sometimes saw fwrite fail with errno=EPIPE and
+ then reported it. However, there's some sort of race condition,
+ because the new test group occasionally succeeded.
+ Reported by Albert Chin at
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2010-02/msg00004.html>.
+
+ There were also problems with the test suite livelocking on
+ Tru64 5.1b. Reported by Didier Godefroy at
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2009-05/msg00005.html>.
+ Switching to create_pipe_bidi suggested by Akim Demaille.
+
+ To attempt to solve both of these problems, switch to gnulib's
+ create_pipe_bidi and register M4 process as a slave. Along the
+ way, clean up file name conflict handling, which was affected by
+ the broken-pipe problem before the switch.
+ * NEWS (2.4.2): Document.
+ * THANKS (Didier Godefroy): Add.
+ * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add pipe.
+ * gnulib: Update to latest to make sure we have all the latest
+ fixes.
+ * lib/Makefile.am (libbison_a_SOURCES): Remove subpipe.h and
+ subpipe.c.
+ * po/POTFILES.in (lib/subpipe.c): Remove.
+ * src/files.c (compute_output_file_names): Update invocations
+ of output_file_name_check.
+ (output_file_name_check): In the case that the grammar file
+ would be overwritten, use complain instead of fatal, but replace
+ the output file name with /dev/null. Use the /dev/null solution
+ for the case of two conflicting output files as well because it
+ seems safer in case Bison one day tries to open both files at
+ the same time.
+ * src/files.h (output_file_name_check): Update prototype.
+ * src/output.c (output_skeleton): Use create_pipe_bidi and
+ wait_subprocess. Assert that scan_skel completely drains the
+ pipe.
+ * src/scan-skel.l (at_directive_perform): Update
+ output_file_name_check invocation.
+ * tests/output.at (AT_CHECK_CONFLICTING_OUTPUT): Check that the
+ grammar file actually isn't overwritten.
+ (Conflicting output files: -o foo.y): Update expected output.
+ * tests/skeletons.at (Fatal errors but M4 continues producing
+ output): New test group.
+
+2010-02-04 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@ces.clemson.edu>
+
+ Update POTFILES.
+ * HACKING (Release Procedure): Add reminder about keeping
+ POTFILES files up-to-date.
+ * po/POTFILES.in (src/muscle_tab.c, src/scan-skel.l): Add.
+
+2010-02-01 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@ces.clemson.edu>
+
+ tests: link lib/libbison.a for gnulib.
+ This solves a problem on Solaris 2.7 where the testsuite needs
+ at least gnulib's rpl_fopen. Reported by Albert Chin at
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2010-02/msg00001.html>.
+ * NEWS (2.4.2): Document.
+ * tests/atlocal.in (LIBS): As for LDADD in src/Makefile.am, add
+ lib/libbison.a.
+
+2010-01-22 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@ces.clemson.edu>
+
+ Prepare for 2.4.2 release.
+ * NEWS (2.4.1a): Rename back to...
+ (2.4.2): ... this, and unset date.
+ * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Re-enable gnits.
+
+2010-01-22 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@ces.clemson.edu>
+
+ Version 2.4.1a delayed.
+ * NEWS (2.4.1a): Increment release date as there has been a
+ small delay in getting the announcements and tarballs out.
+
+2010-01-21 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@ces.clemson.edu>
+
+ Version 2.4.1a.
+ * NEWS (2.4.2): Rename to...
+ (2.4.1a): ... this for now. Set date.
+ * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Disable gnits for now because
+ it does not like this version name.
+
+2010-01-21 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+ * cfg.mk (gnulib_dir): Assume gnulib is a subdirectory.
+
+2010-01-21 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+ maint: automate PACKAGE_COPYRIGHT_YEAR update, and update it.
+ * HACKING (Release Procedure): Update notes on copyright years.
+ * Makefile.am (update-package-copyright-year): New target rule.
+ * build-aux/update-package-copyright-year: New file.
+ * cfg.mk (update-copyright): Add update-package-copyright-year
+ as a dependency.
+
+2010-01-19 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+ * bootstrap: Import improvements from latest gnulib.
+
+2010-01-19 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+ build: require Automake 1.11.1 to avoid a security flaw.
+ * HACKING (Release Procedure): Don't document Automake security
+ flaw here.
+ * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require 1.11.1, and explain
+ why here.
+
+2010-01-19 Joel E. Denny <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+ gnulib: update to latest.

+
+ Thank the developer of the initial push parser implementation.
+ This unfortunate oversight is several years old.

POSIX: warn if %prec's token was not defined.
2006-09-15 Bob Rossi <bob@brasko.net>

+ Odd Arild Olsen <oao@fibula.no>.
* data/Makefile.am (dist_pkgdata_DATA): Add push.c.
* data/c.m4 (YYPUSH): New.
(b4_push_if): New macro. Use it instead of #ifdef YYPUSH.
+ * data/push.c: New file.
* src/getargs.c (push_parser): New var.
* src/getargs.h (push_parser): New declaration.
* src/output.c (prepare): Add macro insertion of `push_flag'.
