+
+	Use aver not assert.
+	* src/output.c: Don't include assert.h.
+	(output_skeleton): Use aver not assert.
+	* src/system.h (aver): In documentation of why, add links to
+	Paul Eggert's explanations in the mailing lists.
+
+2009-09-05  Alex Rozenman  <rozenman@gmail.com>
+
+	Use "Unresolved reference" error message when no symbols were found
+	in a symbolic reference resolution. Remove .expr and -expr from
+	the shown reference when the reference is unresolved.
+	* src/scan-code.l: Change the error message, adjust location columns,
+	rename variable "exact_mode" to "explicit_bracketing".
+	* tests/named-ref.at: Adjust existing tests and add a new one.
+
+2009-09-03  Akim Demaille  <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+	* NEWS (2.4.2): Add "Internationalization" item.
+
+2009-09-03  Akim Demaille  <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+	bootstrap: fix/improve find_tool.
+	* bootstrap (find_tool): Improve error messages.
+	Fix typo about find_tool_names.
+
+2009-08-29  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+	Fix gcc 3.4.4 shadowing warning reported by Eric Blake.
+	See
+	<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2009-08/msg00093.html>.
+	* src/scan-code.h (code_props_rule_action_init): Rename
+	named_ref arg to name so it doesn't shadow named_ref type.  This
+	makes it consistent with the function definition in scan-code.l
+	anyway.
+
+2009-08-28  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+	%define: accept unquoted values.
+	* NEWS (2.5): Group all %define changes together, and document
+	this one.  Remove quotes in IELR and canonical LR entry.

+	Avoid compiler warning.
+
+2009-08-27  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+	tests: use perl for printing special sequences to files.
+	And skip tests if perl is not available.  This is better than
+	playing tricks with shell portability.  Suggested by Akim
+	Demaille.
+	* tests/input.at (Bad character literals): Use it here for
+	omitting final newlines.
+	(Bad escapes in literals): Use it here for special characters.
+
+2009-08-26  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+	tests: show a use of %define lr.default-reductions "consistent"
+	* tests/conflicts.at (%nonassoc and eof): Extend to test that it
+	prevents the omission of expected tokens for %error-verbose.
+
+2009-08-26  Akim Demaille  <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+	tests: portability fix.
+	* tests/input.at (Bad escapes in literals): Don't expect "echo
+	'\0'" to output \ then 0.
+
+2009-08-26  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+	Actually handle the yytable zero value correctly this time.
+	* data/glr.c, data/lalr1.cc, data/lalr1.java, data/yacc.c: Don't
+	mention zero values in the YYTABLE comments.
+	* data/glr.c (yytable_value_is_error): Don't check for zero
+	value.
+	* data/lalr1.cc (yy_table_value_is_error_): Likewise.
+	* data/yacc.c (yytable_value_is_error): Likewise.
+	* data/lalr1.java (yy_table_value_is_error_): Likewise.
+	(yysyntax_error): Fix typo in code: use yytable_ not yycheck_.
+	* src/tables.h: In header comments, explain why it's useless to
+	check for a zero value in yytable.
+
+2009-08-25  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+	More fixes related to last two patches.
+	* data/c.m4 (b4_table_value_equals): Comment that YYID must be
+	defined.
+	* data/glr.c, data/lalr1.cc, data/lalr1.java, data/yacc.c: Fix
+	yytable comments: zero indicates syntax error not default
+	action.
+	* data/glr.c (yyis_pact_ninf): Rename to...
+	(yypact_value_is_default): ... this.
+	(yyisDefaultedState): Update for rename.
+	(yyis_table_ninf): Rename to...
+	(yytable_value_is_error): ... this, and check for value zero
+	besides just YYTABLE_NINF.
+	(yygetLRActions): Check for default value from yypact.  It
+	appears that this check is always performed before this function
+	is invoked, and so adding the check here is probably redundant.
+	However, the code may evolve after this subtlety is forgotten.
+	Also, update for rename to yytable_value_is_error.  Because that
+	macro now checks for zero, a different but equivalent branch of
+	the if-then-else here is evaluated.
+	(yyreportSyntaxError): Update for rename to
+	yytable_value_is_error.  The zero condition was mishandled
+	before.
+	(yyrecoverSyntaxError): Update for renames.  No behavioral
+	changes.
+	* data/lalr1.cc, data/lalr1.java (yy_pact_value_is_default_):
+	New function.
+	(yy_table_value_is_error_): New function.
+	(parse): Use new functions where possible.  No behavioral
+	changes.
+	(yysyntax_error_, yysyntax_error): Use yy_table_value_is_error_.
+	The zero condition was mishandled before.
+	* data/yacc.c (yyis_pact_ninf): Rename to...
+	(yypact_value_is_default): ... this.
+	(yyis_table_ninf): Rename to...
+	(yytable_value_is_error): ... this, and check for value zero
+	besides just YYTABLE_NINF.
+	(yysyntax_error): Update for rename to yytable_value_is_error.
+	The zero condition was mishandled before.
+	(yyparse): Update for renames.  No behavioral changes.
+	* src/tables.h: Improve comments about yypact, yytable, etc.
+	more.  Most importantly, say yytable value of zero means syntax
+	error not default action.
+
+2009-08-25  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+	Fix %error-verbose for conflicts resolved by %nonassoc.
+	* NEWS (2.5): Document.

+	yyis_table_ninf.
+	* data/yacc.c (yysyntax_error): Likewise.
+	* data/lalr1.cc (yysyntax_error_): Fix this by checking
+	yytable_ninf_.
+	* data/lalr1.java (yysyntax_error): Likewise.

+	and remove FIXME.
+
+2009-08-25  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+	Some code and documentation improvements.

+	(yyis_table_ninf): Likewise.
+	(yyreportSyntaxError): Improve internal comments.
+	* data/yacc.c (yyis_pact_ninf): New macro copied from glr.c.
+	Use it everywhere possible.
+	(yyis_table_ninf): Likewise.
+	(yysyntax_error): Improve internal comments.
+	* data/lalr1.cc (yysyntax_error_): Likewise.
+	* data/lalr1.java (yysyntax_error): Likewise.
+	* src/tables.h: Improve comments about yypact, yytable, etc.
+
+2009-08-21  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+	Use locale when quoting.
+	* src/scan-gram.l (SC_ESCAPED_STRING, SC_ESCAPED_CHARACTER): Use
+	quote rather than implementing quoting here.
+
+2009-08-20  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>
+
+	Make previous patch more robust.
+	* src/output.c (ARRAY_CARDINALITY): New macro, copied from
+	argmatch.h.
+	(output_skeleton): Use it.
+	Suggested by Akim Demaille.
+
+	Import latest m4/m4.m4.
+	* submodules/autoconf: Update to autoconf 2.64.
+	* configure.ac (M4_GNU_OPTION): New define.
+	* src/output.c (output_skeleton): Use it to resolve FIXME.
+	* NEWS: Mention this.
+
+2009-08-19  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+	Fix complaints about escape sequences.
+	Discussed starting at
+	<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2009-08/msg00036.html>.
+	* src/scan-gram.l (SC_ESCAPED_STRING, SC_ESCAPED_CHARACTER):
+	For a \0 and similar escape sequences meaning the null
+	character, report an invalid escape sequence instead of an
+	invalid null character because the latter does not actually
+	appear in the user's input.
+	In all escape sequence complaints, don't escape the initial
+	backslash, and don't quote when the sequence appears at the end
+	of the complaint line unless there's whitespace that quotearg
+	won't escape.
+	Consistently say "invalid" not "unrecognized".
+	Consistently prefer "empty character literal" over "extra
+	characters in character literal" warning for invalid escape
+	sequences; that is, consistently discard those sequences.
+	* tests/input.at (Bad escapes in literals): New.
+
+2009-08-19  Akim Demaille  <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+	doc: fixes.
+	* doc/bison.texinfo: Fix minor Texinfo errors.
+
+2009-08-19  Akim Demaille  <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+	doc: %initial-action to initialize yylloc.
+	Reported by Bill Allombert.
+	* doc/bison.texinfo: Set fill-column to 76.
+	(Location Type): Document the use of %initial-action to initialize
+	yylloc.
+
+2009-08-18  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@clemson.edu>
+
+	maint: update for gnulib's recent update-copyright changes
+	* gnulib: Update.

+
+2009-08-17  Akim Demaille  <demaille@gostai.com>

+	build: require gettext 0.17.
+
+	Suggested by Bruno Haible.
+	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2009-08/msg00009.html
+	* configure.ac: require gettext 0.17 to ensure compatibility with
+	gnulib.
+
+2009-08-17  Akim Demaille  <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+	build: lower gettext requirements.
+
+	Bison was uselessly requiring the formatstring macros from
+	gettext, which resulted in mo files not being installed on systems
+	that perfectly supported Bison mo files.  Lower the requirement.
+	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2009-08/msg00006.html
+
+	* configure.ac: Require need-ngettext instead of
+	need-formatstring-macros.
+	Reported by Martin Jabocs.
+	Suggested by Bruno Haible.
+	* INSTALL: Restructure.
+	(Internationalization): New.
+
+2009-08-14  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@clemson.edu>

+	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
+	invocation.
+	* tests/input.at (Numbered tokens): Recombine tests now that the
+	output should be deterministic across multiple numbers.
+
+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/Makefile.am (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.

+	* 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.
+

+
+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/Makefile.am (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

+	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  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>
+
+	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  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.
+
+2009-07-21  Joel E. Denny  <jdenny@ces.clemson.edu>
+
+	* m4/m4.m4: Make it a sym link to submodules/autoconf/m4/m4.m4.
+
+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/Makefile.am.
+	* src/Makefile.am: Adjust.
+
+2009-07-04  Alex Rozenman  <rozenman@gmail.com>
+
+	Style changes and factoring.
+	* src/named-ref.h: Add comments.
+	* src/parse-gram.y: Readability and style changes.
+	* src/reader.c: Factoring: assign_named_ref function.
+	* src/scan-code.l: Factoring and style changes. Rename
+	parse_named_ref to parse_ref. Use "c-ctype.h" from gnulib.
+	Use "unsigned" type for variant index. Improve readablity.
+	* src/scan-gram.l: Change error messages and add comments.
+	* src/symlist.h: symbol_list_null: New function decl.
+	* src/symlist.c: symbol_list_null: Implement here.
+	* tests/named-refs.at: Adjust for new error messages.
+
+2009-06-29  Eric Blake  <ebb9@byu.net>
+
+	scan-code: avoid compiler warnings
+	* src/scan-code.l (parse_named_ref): Use correct specifiers.
+
+2009-06-29  Akim Demaille  <demaille@gostai.com>
+
+	build: avoid concurrent extraction of calc++.
+	* examples/calc++/Makefile.am (calc.stamp): New.
+	Depend on it to create the sources of calc++ so that concurrent
+	builds don't launch several "extexi" in parallel.
+	Not only this is inefficient, this also builds incorrect sources
+	with several extractions mixed together.
+
+2009-06-27  Alex Rozenman  <rozenman@gmail.com>
+
+	Implement support for named symbol references.
+	* src/parse-gram.y: Add new syntax (named_ref.opt).
+	* src/reader.c: Store named refs in symbol lists.
+	* src/reader.h: New argument for symbol_append and
+	action_append functions.
+	* src/scan-code.h: Add new field (named_ref) into
+	code_props data structure. Keeps named ref of midrule
+	actions.
+	* src/scan-code.l: Support for named refs in semantic
+	action code. New function 'parse_named_ref'.
