Denny + + doc: document experimental features better. + * doc/bison.texinfo (Introduction): Say that IELR(1) and canonical + LR(1) are experimental. Mention Java. Normally experimental + features probably shouldn't be mentioned in the introduction. + However, if Bison's limitations to LALR(1), C, and C++ are so + important that they should be mentioned here, then it's important + to point out that Bison is beginning to escape those limitations. + Moreover, these particular experimental features have very little + chance of being removed. + * src/getargs.c (usage): Say that IELR(1) and canonical LR(1) are + experimental. + +2011-01-29 Joel E. Denny + + Do not allow identifiers that start with a dash. + This cleans up our previous fixes for a bug whereby Bison + discarded `.field' in `$-1.field'. The previous fixes were less + restrictive about where a dash could appear in an identifier, but + the restrictions were hard to explain. That bug was reported and + this final fix was originally suggested by Paul Hilfinger. This + also fixes a remaining bug reported by Paul Eggert whereby Bison + parses `%token ID -123' as `%token ID - 123' and handles `-' as an + identifier. Now, `-' cannot be an identifier. Discussed in + threads beginning at + , + . + * NEWS (2.5): Update entry describing the dash extension to + grammar symbol names. Also, move that entry before the named + references entry because the latter mentions the former. + * doc/bison.texinfo (Symbol): Update documentation for symbol + names. As suggested by Paul Eggert, mention the effect of periods + and dashes on named references. + (Decl Summary): Update documentation for unquoted %define values, + which, as a side effect, can no longer start with dashes either. + * src/scan-code.l (id): Implement. + * src/scan-gram.l (id): Implement. + * tests/actions.at (Exotic Dollars): Extend test group to exercise + bug reported by Paul Hilfinger. + * tests/input.at (Symbols): Update test group, and extend to + exercise bug reported by Paul Eggert. + * tests/named-refs.at (Stray symbols in brackets): Update test + group. + ($ or @ followed by . or -): Likewise. + * tests/regression.at (Invalid inputs): Likewise. + +2011-01-24 Joel E.

Denny + + Improve error messages for `$' or `@' followed by `.' or `-'. + Previously, for this special case of an invalid reference, the + usual "symbol not found in production:" was printed. However, + because the symbol name was parsed as the empty string, that + message was followed immediately by a newline instead of a symbol + name. In reality, this is a syntax error, so the reference is + invalid regardless of the symbols actually appearing in the + production. Discussed at + . + * src/scan-code.l (parse_ref): Report the above case as a syntax + error.

Test + yacc.c, glr.c, lalr1.cc, and lalr1.java. No longer an expected + failure. + * tests/java.at (AT_JAVA_COMPILE, AT_JAVA_PARSER_CHECK): Move + to... + * tests/local.at: ... here. + (_AT_BISON_OPTION_PUSHDEFS): Push AT_SKEL_JAVA_IF definition. + (AT_BISON_OPTION_POPDEFS): Pop it. + (AT_FULL_COMPILE): Extend to handle Java. + +2010-11-07 Joel E.
