+
+2009-08-13  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+	Make it easier to write deterministic tests.
+	Continues Akim's work from his 2009-06-10 commits.
+	* src/reader.c (check_and_convert_grammar): Don't add any
+	symbols after the first symbols_do invocation.
+	* src/symtab.c (symbols_sorted): New static global.
+	(user_token_number_redeclaration): Update comments.
+	(symbol_from_uniqstr): If a new symbol is being created, assert
+	that symbols_sorted hasn't been allocated yet.
+	(symbols_free): Free symbols_sorted.
+	(symbols_cmp, symbols_cmp_qsort): New functions.
+	(symbols_do): Sort symbol_table into symbols_sorted on first

+
+2009-08-12  Akim Demaille  <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+	tests: GCC 4.5 compliance.
+	* tests/synclines.at (AT_SYNCLINES_COMPILE): Adjust to GCC 4.5's
+	messages about #error.
+

+
+	build: fix the generation of the documentation.
+	Some of our targets use "bison --help", but they can't depend on
+	"bison" itself (to avoid additional requirements on the user), so
+	they used to call "make src/bison" in the commands.  Then
+	concurrent builds may fail: one make might be aiming one of its
+	jobs at compiling src/bison, and another job at generating the man
+	page.  If the latter is faster than the former, then we have two
+	makes that concurrently try to compile src/bison.
+
+	This might also be a more convincing explanation for the failure
+	described in the patch "build: fix paths".
+
+	* Makefile.am (SUFFIXES): Initialize.
+	* build-aux/move-if-change: New, symlink to gnulib's.
+	* build-aux/local.mk: Ship it.
+	* doc/common.x: Remove, merged into...
+	* doc/bison.x: here.
+	* doc/local.mk (doc/bison.help): New.
+	($(CROSS_OPTIONS_TEXI)): Depend on it.
+	Use src/bison.
+	(.x.1): Replace with...
+	(doc/bison.1): this explicit, simpler, target.
+	(common_dep): Remove, inlined where appropriate.
+	(SUFFIXES, PREPATH): Remove, unused.
+
+2009-08-12  Akim Demaille  <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+	gnulib: improve prefixing.
+	* configure.ac (gl_PREFIXED_LIBOBJS): Don't rename it, rather,
+	change the value of...
+	(gl_LIBOBJS): this.
+	Adjust more variables.
+	* etc/prefix-gnulib-mk (prefix_assignment): Don't rename
+	gl_LIBOBJS.
+	(prefix): Also transform rules whose targets have slashes.
+	Use $prefix liberally.
+	Map @MKDIR_P@ to $(MKDIR_P).
+	Prefix directories that are mkdir'd.
+
+2009-08-12  Akim Demaille  <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+	build: fix paths.
+	When using $(top_builddir) inconsistently, Make (including GNU
+	Make) is sometimes confused.  As a result it may want to build
+	lib/libbison.la and $(top_builddir)/lib/libbison.la (the same
+	file, different names) concurrently, which, amusingly enough,
+	might end with:
+
+	  ranlib lib/libbison.a
+	  ranlib lib/libbison.a
+	  make[2]: *** [lib/libbison.a] Segmentation fault
+
+	on OS X.
+
+	* doc/local.mk, src/local.mk: Do not use $(top_builddir) when not
+	needed.
+
+2009-08-12  Akim Demaille  <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+	distcheck: fix.
+
+        * examples/calc++/Makefile.am: (EXTRA_DIST): Ship calc.stamp.
+
+2009-08-10  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+	* tests/local.mk (TESTSUITE_AT): Add named-refs.at.
+
+2009-08-10  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+	Miscellaneous code readability improvements.
+
+	* src/reader.c (reader): Move %define front-end variable
+	defaults and checking into...
+	(prepare_percent_define_front_end_variables): ... this new
+	function.
+
+	* src/scan-gram.l (INITIAL): For consistency with string
+	literals, don't store open quote on character literal.  It's
+	discarded before returning anyway.
+	(SC_ESCAPED_CHARACTER): Similarly, don't store close quote.
+	Make length test more readable, and make the character stored
+	for an empty literal more obvious while consistent with the
+	previous behavior.
+
+	* src/symtab.c, src/symtab.h: Rename USER_NUMBER_ALIAS to
+	USER_NUMBER_HAS_STRING_ALIAS throughout.
+	* src/symtab.c (symbol_make_alias): Remove comment from symtab.c
+	that is repeated in symtab.h.  Improve argument names to make it
+	clear which side of the symbol-string alias pair is which.
+	(symbol_check_alias_consistency): Improve local variable names
+	for the same purpose.
+	* src/symtab.h (struct symbol): Make comments about aliases
+	clearer.
+	(symbol_make_alias): Improve comments and argument name.
+	* src/output.c (token_definitions_output): Update for rename to
+	USER_NUMBER_HAS_STRING_ALIAS and improve comments about aliases.
+
+2009-08-08  Alex Rozenman  <rozenman@gmail.com>
+
+	Convert "misleading reference" messages to warnings.
+	* src/scan-code.l: New function 'show_sub_messages', more
+	factoring.
+	* tests/named-ref.at: Adjust tests.
+

+
+	maint: run "make update-copyright"
+
+2009-08-06  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+	maint: make update-b4-copyright easier to use
+	* build-aux/update-b4-copyright: In warnings, report line
+	numbers rather than character positions.
+	* cfg.mk (update-copyright-local): Set to update-b4-copyright so
+	that update-copyright runs it.
+	* gnulib: Update.
+
+2009-08-05  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+	maint: clean up update-b4-copyright code
+	* build-aux/update-b4-copyright: Do not accept 2-digit
+	UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_YEAR, which was not handled correctly.
+	Don't accept a `[' in a b4_copyright argument.
+	Format code more consistently.
+	Don't assume b4*copyright never occurs.
+
+2009-08-04  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+	maint: automate b4_copyright updates.
+	* Makefile.am (update-b4-copyright): New target rule.
+	* build-aux/local.mk (EXTRA_DIST): Add update-b4-copyright.
+	* build-aux/update-b4-copyright: New.
+	* data/yacc.c: Remove stray characters around b4_copyright
+	invocations.
+
+2009-08-04  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+	maint: automate annual package-wide copyright-year update.
+	* .x-update-copyright: New.
+	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove maint.mk.
+	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add maintainer-makefile and
+	update-copyright.  Remove gnumakefile, which is implied by
+	maintainer-makefile.
+	* cfg.mk (bootstrap-tools): Copy from old maint.mk.
+	* gnulib: Update.
+	* maint.mk: Remove, now copied from gnulib.
+	* examples/extexi: Add missing "(C)" in copyright statement so
+	update-copyright can recognize it.
+	* src/LR0.h: Likewise.
+	* src/print.h: Likewise.
+	* src/print_graph.h: Likewise.
+	* src/gram.c: Add missing comma in copyright statement.
+	* src/gram.h: Likewise.
+
+2009-08-04  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+	Fix "make distcheck".
+	* examples/calc++/Makefile.am: Say $(srcdir)/calc.stamp instead
+	of just calc.stamp.
+
+2009-08-01  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+	Pacify "gcc -Wunused" for the input function from Flex.
+	Reported by Alex Rozenman.  This warning shows up with gcc-4.3.0
+	and later.
+	* src/scan-code.l: Add "%option noinput", which I cannot find in
+	the Flex manual, but which Flex has supported since at least as
+	far back as 2.5.4.  However, if any of our developers still use
+	Flex 2.5.4, they'll need to stop configuring with
+	--enable-gcc-warnings because "%option noinput" didn't work
+	correctly until Flex 2.5.6.
+	* src/scan-gram.l: Likewise.
+	* src/scan-skel.l: Likewise.
+
+2009-07-31  Alex Rozenman  <rozenman@gmail.com>
+
+	Fix --enable-gcc-warnings problems.
+	* src/reader.c: Adjust variable names.
+	* src/scan-code.l: Fix prototypes and adjust names.
+	* src/named-ref.c: Remove redundant "if".
+
+2009-07-29  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@ces.clemson.edu>
+
+	Fix a --enable-gcc-warnings problem.
+	* src/scan-gram.l (SC_ESCAPED_CHARACTER): Actually use length
+	variable.
+
+2009-07-24  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@ces.clemson.edu>
+
+	Warn about character literals not of length one.
+	* NEWS (2.5): Document.
+	* src/scan-gram.l (INITIAL): Remove comment that we don't check
+	the length.
+	(SC_ESCAPED_CHARACTER): Warn if length is wrong.
+	* tests/input.at (Bad character literals): New test group.
+
+2009-07-24  Alex Rozenman  <rozenman@gmail.com>
+
+	Fix some memory leaks.
+	* src/named-ref.c: Add a pointer check (named_ref_free).
+	* src/scan-code.l: New function (variant_table_free). Called in
+	code_scanner_free.
+	* src/symlist.c: Call to named_ref_free (symbol_list_free).
+
+2009-07-24  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@ces.clemson.edu>
+
+	* src/lalr.c (state_lookahead_tokens_count): Correct comment.
+
+2009-07-22  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@ces.clemson.edu>
+
+	Some M4 cleanup in the testsuite.
+	Suggested by Eric Blake at
+	<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2009-04/msg00083.html>.
+	* tests/existing.at (_AT_TEST_EXISTING_GRAMMAR): Do not
+	complicate the code by distinguishing between a missing value
+	and an empty string value for an optional argument.  This fix is
+	allowed by the similar fix in AT_TEST_TABLES_AND_PARSE below.
+	* tests/local.at (_AT_TEST_TABLES_AND_PARSE): Merge into...
+	(AT_TEST_TABLES_AND_PARSE): ... this now that the special
+	arguments are not needed because of the following changes.
+	Fix stale comments.
+	Bison developers should use GNU M4 and should not use
+	POSIXLY_CORRECT when building the test suite, so do not
+	complicate the code by avoiding $10 and above.
+	Do not quote an empty string value for an optional argument, and
+	do not distinguish between a missing value and an empty string
+	value.
+
+2009-07-15  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@ces.clemson.edu>
+
+	Revert unnecessary column realignment in --help output.
+	Reported by Akim Demaille at
+	<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2009-06/msg00010.html>.
+	* src/getargs.c (usage): Here.
+
+2009-07-04  Alex Rozenman  <rozenman@gmail.com>
 
 	Alphabetical order in src/local.mk.
 	* src/local.mk: Adjust.
