LAC is an experimental feature. More user feedback will help to
stabilize it.
-** Unrecognized %code qualifiers are now errors not warnings.
-
-** %define improvements:
+** Grammar symbol names can now contain dashes:
-*** Unrecognized variables are now errors not warnings.
+ Consistently with directives (such as %error-verbose) and variables
+ (e.g. push-pull), grammar symbol names may include dashes in any
+ position, similarly to periods and underscores. This is GNU
+ extension over POSIX Yacc whose use is reported by -Wyacc, and
+ rejected in Yacc mode (--yacc).
-*** Multiple invocations for any variable is now an error not a warning.
+** %define improvements:
*** Can now be invoked via the command line:
%define api.push-pull push
-** Grammar symbol names can now contain dashes:
+*** Unrecognized variables are now errors not warnings.

+
+** Character literals not of length one:
+
+ Previously, Bison quietly converted all character literals to length
+ one. For example, without warning, Bison interpreted the operators in
+ the following grammar to be the same token:
+
+ exp: exp '++'
+ | exp '+' exp
+ ;
+
+ Bison now warns when a character literal is not of length one. In
+ some future release, Bison will start reporting an error instead.
+
+** Destructor calls fixed for lookaheads altered in semantic actions:
+
+ Previously for deterministic parsers in C, if a user semantic action
+ altered yychar, the parser in some cases used the old yychar value to
+ determine which destructor to call for the lookahead upon a syntax
+ error or upon parser return. This bug has been fixed.
+
+** C++ parsers use YYRHSLOC:
+
+ Similarly to the C parsers, the C++ parsers now define the YYRHSLOC
+ macro and use it in the default YYLLOC_DEFAULT. You are encouraged
+ to use it. If, for instance, your location structure has "first"
+ and "last" members, instead of
+
+ # define YYLLOC_DEFAULT(Current, Rhs, N) \
+ do \
+ if (N) \
+ { \
+ (Current).first = (Rhs)[1].location.first; \
+ (Current).last = (Rhs)[N].location.last; \
+ } \
+ else \
+ { \
+ (Current).first = (Current).last = (Rhs)[0].location.last; \
+ } \
+ while (false)
+
+ use:
+
+ # define YYLLOC_DEFAULT(Current, Rhs, N) \
+ do \
+ if (N) \
+ { \
+ (Current).first = YYRHSLOC (Rhs, 1).first; \
+ (Current).last = YYRHSLOC (Rhs, N).last; \
+ } \
+ else \
+ { \
+ (Current).first = (Current).last = YYRHSLOC (Rhs, 0).last; \
+ } \
+ while (false)
+
+** YYLLOC_DEFAULT in C++:
+
+ The default implementation of YYLLOC_DEFAULT used to be issued in
+ the header file. It is now output in the implementation file, after
+ the user %code sections so that its #ifndef guard does not try to
+ override the user's YYLLOC_DEFAULT if provided.
** YYFAIL now produces warnings and Java parsers no longer implement it:
about a missing semicolon where it did not before. Future releases of
Bison will cease to append semicolons entirely.

** Verbose syntax error message fixes:
When %error-verbose or `#define YYERROR_VERBOSE' is specified,
canonical LR. However, LAC is still experimental and is disabled
by default.
-** Destructor calls fixed for lookaheads altered in semantic actions:

* Changes in version 2.4.3 (2010-08-05):
** Bison now obeys -Werror and --warnings=error for warnings about
