+Changes in version 2.1a, 2006-02-13:
* Bison now allows multiple %union declarations, and concatenates
their contents together.
* New warning: unused values
- Typed right-hand side symbols whose value are not used are reported.
- For instance:
+ Typed right-hand side symbols whose values are not used are reported,
+ if the associated types have destructors. For instance:
exp: exp "?" exp ":" exp { $1 ? $1 : $3; }
| exp "+" exp
will trigger a warning about $$ and $5 in the first rule, and $3 in
the second ($1 is copied to $$ by the default rule). This example
- most likely contains three errors, and should be rewritten as:

- However, if the original actions were really intended, the warnings
- can be suppressed by letting Bison believe the values are used, e.g.:
+ However, if the original actions were really intended, memory leaks
+ and all, the warnings can be suppressed by letting Bison believe the
+ values are used, e.g.:
exp: exp "?" exp ":" exp { $1 ? $1 : $3; (void) ($$, $5); }
| exp "+" exp { $$ = $1; (void) $3; }
exp: exp { push ($1); } '+' exp { push ($3); sum (); };
- Mid-rule actions that use $$ cause the corresponding value to be
- set, therefore the following action must use it. The following rule
- triggers a warning about $2.
-
- exp: '1' { $$ = 1; } '+' exp { $$ = $1 + $4; };
-
The warning is intended to help catching lost values and memory leaks.
If a value is ignored, its associated memory typically is not reclaimed.

- The %parse-params are available in the %destructor's (and the
- experimental %printer's) as per the documentation.

* Bison now warns if it finds a stray `$' or `@' in an action.

- To specify that the grammar file depends on features implemented in
- Bison version VERSION or higher.

* lalr1.cc: The token and value types are now class members.
The tokens were defined as free form enums and cpp macros. YYSTYPE
