that 1. Bison compiles cleanly, 2. the parsers it produces compile
cleanly too.
-- Change tests/bison to run `valgrind -q bison' to run Bison under
- Valgrind.
-
-- Run the test suite with `./testsuite PREPARSER='valgrind -q' to make
- sure the parser behave properly.
+- run `make maintainer-check' which:
+ - runs `valgrind -q bison' to run Bison under Valgrind.
+ - runs the parsers under Valgrind.
+ - runs the test suite with G++ as C compiler...
- Change tests/atlocal/CFLAGS to add your preferred options. For
instance, `-traditional' to check that the parsers are K&R. Note
but currently is actually GNU C, nor for lalr1.cc, which anyway is
not exercised yet in the test suite.
-- Change tests/atlocal/CC to use a C++ compiler.
