    Version 1.75.

2002-10-14  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

    * tests/Makefile.am (maintainer-check-posix): New.

2002-10-14  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

    * data/glr.c [YYDEBUG] (YYLEFTMOST_STATE): Initialize the yyloc
    member.

2002-10-14  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

    * src/tables.c (table_ninf_remap): base -> tab.
    Reported by Matt Rosing.

2002-10-14  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

    * tests/action.at, tests/calc.at, tests/conflicts.at,
    tests/cxx-type.at, tests/headers.at, tests/input.at,
    tests/regression.at, tests/synclines.at, tests/torture.at:
    Say "bison -o foo.c foo.y", not "bison foo.y -o foo.c",
    so that the tests still work even if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
    * doc/bison.texinfo (Rpcalc Compile, Invocation): Likewise.

    * data/c.m4 (b4_int_type): Use yysigned_char instead of signed char,
    for portability to K&R hosts.  Fix typo: signed char is guaranteed
    only to 127, not to 128.
    * data/glr.c (yysigned_char): New type.
    * data/yacc.c (yysigned_char): Likewise.
    * tests/regression.at (Web2c Actions): signed char -> yysigned_char.

2002-10-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

    * data/yacc.c (yyparse): Rewrite to avoid "comparison is always
    true due to limited range of data type" warning from GCC.

    * data/c.m4 (b4_token_defines): Protect against double-inclusion
    by wrapping enum yytokentype's definition inside #ifndef
    YYTOKENTYPE.  This undoes a bug I introduced on 2002-10-12.

2002-10-13  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

    * data/glr.c (yyglrShiftDefer, yyaddDeferredAction, yydoAction):
    Un yy- yyrhs to avoid the name clash with the global YYRHS.

2002-10-13  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

    * Makefile.maint: Update from Autoconf 2.54.
    * m4/strerror_r.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R): Remove, shipped with 2.54.

2002-10-13  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

    * src/print.c (print_state): Separate the list of solved conflicts
    from the other items.
    * tests/conflicts.at (Resolved SR Conflicts): Adjust.

2002-10-13  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

    Let nondeterministic skeletons be usable with deterministic
    tables.

    With the patch, GAWK compiled by GCC without -O2 passes its test
    suite using a GLR parser driven by LALR tables.  It fails with -O2
    because `struct stat' gives two different answers on my machine:
    88 (definition of an auto var) and later 96 (memset on this var).
    Hence the stack is badly corrumpted.  The headers inclusion is to
    blame: if I move the awk.h inclusion before GLR's system header
    inclusion, the two struct stat have the same size.

    * src/tables.c (pack_table): Always create conflict_table.
    (token_actions): Always create conflict_list.
    * data/glr.c (YYFLAG): Remove, unused.

2002-10-13  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

    * configure.ac (AC_GNU_SOURCE): Use it instead of hand written code.
    (O0FLAGS): New.
    (VALGRIND, GXX): New.
    * tests/atlocal.in (CFLAGS): Use O0FLAGS.
    * tests/bison.in: Run $PREBISON a pre-command.
    * tests/Makefile.am (maintainer-check, maintainer-check-valgrind)
    (maintainer-check-g++): New.
    * Makefile.am (maintainer-check): New.

2002-10-13  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

    * data/glr.c: Formatting changes.
    Tweak some trace messages to match yacc.c's.

2002-10-13  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

    GLR parsers sometimes raise parse errors instead of performing the
    default reduction.
    Reported by Charles-Henry de Boysson.

    * tests/calc.at (_AT_CHECK_CALC, _AT_CHECK_CALC_ERROR): Don't
    check the length of the    traces when %glr.
    (_AT_CHECK_CALC_ERROR): Also skip `^Stack' lines, coming from
    GLR's traces.
    (AT_CHECK_CALC_LALR, AT_CHECK_CALC_GLR): New.
    Test GLR parsers.
    * data/glr.c (YYLEFTMOST_STATE): Fix its value.
    (yyltype): Remove the yy prefix from the member names.
    (yytable): Complete its comment.
    (yygetLRActions): Map error action number from YYTABLE from
    YYTABLE_NINF to 0.
    (yyisErrorAction): No longer compare YYACTION to YYPACT_NINF
    (which was a bug: it should have been YYTABEL_NINF, and yet it was
    not satisfying as we could compare an YYACTION computed from
    YYDEFACT to YYTABLE_NINF although they are unrelated): 0 is the
    only value for error actions.
    (yyreportParseError): In verbose parse error messages, don't issue
    `error' in the list of expected tokens.
    * data/yacc.c (yyparse) <yybackup>: Rewrite the decoding of the
    next action to perform to match glr.c's decoding.
    (yytable): Complete its comment.

2002-10-13  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

    Fix problem reported by Henrik Grubbstroem in
    <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-bison/2002-October/001670.html>:
    "nonterm: { $$ = 123; } { $$ = $1; };" was wrongly rejected,
    because the Bison parser reads the second action before reducing
    the first one.
    * src/scan-gram.l (rule_length): New static var.
    Use it to keep track of the rule length in the scanner, since
    we can't expect the parser to be in lock-step sync with the scanner.
    (handle_action_dollar, handle_action_at): Use this var.
    * tests/actions.at (Exotic Dollars): Test for the problem.

2002-10-12  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

    * lib/timevar.c [! IN_GCC && HAVE_SYS_TIME_H]: Include <sys/time.h>.
    * m4/timevar.m4 (BISON_PREREQ_TIMEVAR): Check for <sys/time.h>.
    Include <sys/time.h> when checking for clock_t and struct tms.
    Use same include order as source.
    This is for the SunOS 4.1.4 porting bug reported by Peter Klein in
    <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-bison/2002-October/001674.html>.

    * lib/timevar.c: Update copyright date and clarify comments.
    (get_time) [IN_GCC]: Keep the GCC version for reference.

    * lib/timevar.c, lib/timevar.h, lib/timevar.def: Import
    GCC version as of today, then merge Bison's changes.
    Change "GCC" to "Bison" in copyright notice.  timevar.def's
    author is Akim, so change that too.

    * src/reader.c (grammar_current_rule_check):
    Don't worry about the default action if $$ is untyped.
    Prevents bogus warnings reported by Jim Gifford in
    <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-bison/2002-October/001673.html>.

    * data/c.m4 (b4_token_enum): Do not define YYTOKENTYPE.
    * data/glr.c, data/lalr1.cc, data/yacc.c:
    Output token definitions before the first part of user declarations.
    Fixes compatibility problem reported by Jim Gifford for kbd in
    <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-bison/2002-October/001672.html>.

2002-10-11  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

    * data/yacc.c (yyreport_parse_error): Remove, putting its body into...
    (yyparse): here.  This undoes some of the 2002-07-25 change.
    Compatibility problem reported by Ralf S. Engelschall with
    OSSP cfg <http://www.ossp.org/pkg/lib/cfg/>.

2002-10-11  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

    * tests/regression.at Characters Escapes): New.
    * src/scan-gram.l (SC_ESCAPED_CHARACTER): Accept \' in strings and
    characters.
    Reported by Jan Nieuwenhuizen.

2002-10-11  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

    * po/id.po: New.

2002-10-10  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

    Portability fixes for bitsets; this also avoids several GCC
    warnings.

    * lib/abitset.c: Include <stddef.h>, for offsetof.
    * lib/lbitset.c: Likewise.

    * lib/abitset.c (abitset_bytes): Return a size that is aligned
    properly for vectors of objects.  Do not assume that adding a
    header size to a multiple of a word size yields a value that is
    properly aligned for the whole union.
    * lib/bitsetv.c (bitsetv_alloc): Likewise.

    * lib/bitset_stats.c (bitset_stats_bytes): Adjust to new,
    unique names for structures.
    * lib/ebitset.c (ebitset_bytes): Likewise.
    * lib/lbitset.c (lbitset_bytes): Likewise.

    * lib/abitset.c (abitset_ones, abitset_zero, abitset_empty_p,
    abitset_copy1, abitset_not, abitset_equal_p, abitset_subset_p,
    abitset_disjoint_p, abitset_and, abitset_and_cmp, abitset_andn,
    abitset_andn_cmp, abitset_or, abitset_or_cmp, abitset_xor,
    abitset_xor_cmp, abitset_and_or, abitset_and_or_cmp,
    abitset_andn_or, abitset_andn_or_cmp, abitset_or_and,
    abitset_or_and_cmp, abitset_copy): Supply prototype decls,
    to improve the type-checking that GCC can do.
    * lib/bitset.c (bitset_op4_cmp): Likewise.
    * lib/bitset_stats.c (bitset_stats_count,
    bitset_stats_empty_p, bitset_stats_ones, bitset_stats_zero,
    bitset_stats_copy, bitset_stats_disjoint_p,
    bitset_stats_equal_p, bitset_stats_not, bitset_stats_subset_p,
    bitset_stats_and, bitset_stats_and_cmp, bitset_stats_andn,
    bitset_stats_andn_cmp, bitset_stats_or, bitset_stats_or_cmp,
    bitset_stats_xor, bitset_stats_xor_cmp, bitset_stats_and_or,
    bitset_stats_and_or_cmp, bitset_stats_andn_or,
    bitset_stats_andn_or_cmp, bitset_stats_or_and,
    bitset_stats_or_and_cmp): Likewise.
    * lib/lbitset.c (lbitset_and, lbitset_and_cmp, lbitset_andn,
    lbitset_andn_cmp, lbitset_or, lbitset_or_cmp, lbitset_xor,
    lbitset_xor_cmp, lbitset_empty_p, lbitset_ones, lbitset_not,
    lbitset_subset_p, lbitset_disjoint_p, debug_lbitset): Likewise.

    * lib/abitset.h: Include bitset.h, not bbitset.h.
    * lib/ebitset.h: Likewise.
    * lib/lbitset.h: Likewise.

    * lib/bbitset.h: (enum_bitset_ops, enum_bitset_type): New types.
    All instances of parameters of type enum bitset_opts are now of
    type enum_bitset_opts, to conform to the C Standard, and similarly
    for enum_bitset_type.
    * lib/ebitset.c (enum_ebitset_find_mode): Likewise.
    * lib/lbitset.c (enum_lbitset_find_mode): Likewise.

    Do not use "struct bitset_struct" to mean different things in
    different modules.  Not only is this confusing, it violates
    the C Standard, which requires that structure types in different
    modules must be compatible if one is to be passed to the other.
    * lib/bbitset.h (bitset): Now points to a union, not to a struct.
    All instances of "struct bitset_struct *" replaced with "bitset".
    * lib/bitset.h (struct bitset_struct): Remove, replacing with....
    (union bitset_union, struct abitset_struct, struct ebitset_struct,
    struct lbitset_struct, struct bitset_stats_struct): New types.
    All uses of struct bitset_struct changed to union bitset_union,
    etc.
    * lib/abitset.c    (struct abitset_struct, abitset,
    struct bitset_struct): Remove.
    * lib/bitset_stats.c (struct bitset_stats_struct, bitset_stats,
    struct bitset_struct): Remove.
    * lib/ebitset.c (struct ebitset_struct, ebitset, struct
    bitset_struct): Remove.
    * lib/lbitset.c (struct lbitset_struct, lbitset, bitset_struct):
    Likewise.

    Do not call a function of type T using a call that assumes the
    function is of a different type U.  Standard C requires that a
    function must be called with a type that is compatible with its
    definition.
    * lib/bbitset.h (bitset_and_or_, bitset_andn_or_, bitset_or_and_):
    New decls.
    * lib/bitset.c (bitset_and_or_, bitset_andn_or_, bitset_or_and_):
    New functions.
    * lib/ebitset.c (PFV): Remove.
    * lib/lbitset.c (PFV): Likewise.
    * lib/ebitset.c (ebitset_and, ebitset_andn, ebitset_or,
    ebitset_xor, ebitset_copy, ebitset_ones, ebitset_empty_p): New
    decls.
    (ebitset_and, ebitset_andn, ebitset_or, ebitset_xor): New functions.
    (ebitset_vtable): Use them.
    * lib/lbitset.c (lbitset_and, lbitset_andn, lbitset_or,
    lbitset_xor): New functions.
    (lbitset_vtable): Use them.

    * lib/bitset.h (bitset_next, bitset_prev, bitset_only_set_p):
    Declare.

    * lib/bitsetv.c (bitsetv_alloc): Add a cast to (void *) to avoid a
    GCC warning.
    * lib/lbitset.c (LBITSET_CURRENT1): Likewise.
    Use offsetof, for simplicity.

2002-10-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

    * lib/bitset.h (bitset_reset): Do not assume that bitset_word is
    the same width as int.  This reapplies a hunk of the 2002-08-12 patch
    <http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bison-patches/2002-August/001111.html>,
    which was inadvertently undone by the 2002-09-30 patch.
    * lib/lbitset.c (debug_lbitset): Do not assume that bitset_word is
    the same width as int.
