Update to 2.7:
* Noteworthy changes in release 2.7 (2012-12-12) [stable]
** Bug fixes
Warnings about uninitialized yylloc in yyparse have been fixed.
Restored C90 compliance (yet no report was ever made).
** Diagnostics are improved
*** Changes in the format of error messages
This used to be the format of many error reports:
input.y:2.7-12: %type redeclaration for exp
input.y:1.7-12: previous declaration
It is now:
input.y:2.7-12: error: %type redeclaration for exp
input.y:1.7-12: previous declaration
*** New format for error reports: carets
Caret errors have been added to Bison:
input.y:2.7-12: error: %type redeclaration for exp
%type <sval> exp
^^^^^^
input.y:1.7-12: previous declaration
%type <ival> exp
^^^^^^
or
input.y:3.20-23: error: ambiguous reference: '$exp'
exp: exp '+' exp { $exp = $1 + $3; };
^^^^
input.y:3.1-3: refers to: $exp at $$
exp: exp '+' exp { $exp = $1 + $3; };
^^^
input.y:3.6-8: refers to: $exp at $1
exp: exp '+' exp { $exp = $1 + $3; };
^^^
input.y:3.14-16: refers to: $exp at $3
exp: exp '+' exp { $exp = $1 + $3; };
^^^
The default behaviour for now is still not to display these unless
explictly asked with -fcaret (or -fall). However, in a later release, it
will be made the default behavior (but may still be deactivated with
-fno-caret).
** New value for %define variable: api.pure full
The %define variable api.pure requests a pure (reentrant) parser. However,
for historical reasons, using it in a location-tracking Yacc parser
resulted in a yyerror function that did not take a location as a
parameter. With this new value, the user may request a better pure parser,
where yyerror does take a location as a parameter (in location-tracking
parsers).
The use of "%define api.pure true" is deprecated in favor of this new
"%define api.pure full".
** New %define variable: api.location.type (glr.cc, lalr1.cc, lalr1.java)
The %define variable api.location.type defines the name of the type to use
for locations. When defined, Bison no longer generates the position.hh
and location.hh files, nor does the parser will include them: the user is
then responsible to define her type.
This can be used in programs with several parsers to factor their location
and position files: let one of them generate them, and the others just use
them.
This feature was actually introduced, but not documented, in Bison 2.5,
under the name "location_type" (which is maintained for backward
compatibility).
For consistency, lalr1.java's %define variables location_type and
position_type are deprecated in favor of api.location.type and
api.position.type.
** Exception safety (lalr1.cc)
The parse function now catches exceptions, uses the %destructors to
release memory (the lookahead symbol and the symbols pushed on the stack)
before re-throwing the exception.
This feature is somewhat experimental. User feedback would be
appreciated.
** Graph improvements in DOT and XSLT
The graphical presentation of the states is more readable: their shape is
now rectangular, the state number is clearly displayed, and the items are
numbered and left-justified.
The reductions are now explicitly represented as transitions to other
diamond shaped nodes.
These changes are present in both --graph output and xml2dot.xsl XSLT
processing, with minor (documented) differences.
** %language is no longer an experimental feature.
The introduction of this feature, in 2.4, was four years ago. The
--language option and the %language directive are no longer experimental.
** Documentation
The sections about shift/reduce and reduce/reduce conflicts resolution
have been fixed and extended.
Although introduced more than four years ago, XML and Graphviz reports
were not properly documented.
The translation of mid-rule actions is now described.

Update to 2.5:
* Changes in version 2.5 (2011-05-14):
** Grammar symbol names can now contain non-initial dashes:
Consistently with directives (such as %error-verbose) and with
%define variables (e.g. push-pull), grammar symbol names may contain
dashes in any position except the beginning. This is a GNU
extension over POSIX Yacc. Thus, use of this extension is reported
by -Wyacc and rejected in Yacc mode (--yacc).
** Named references:
Historically, Yacc and Bison have supported positional references
($n, $$) to allow access to symbol values from inside of semantic
actions code.
Starting from this version, Bison can also accept named references.
When no ambiguity is possible, original symbol names may be used
as named references:
if_stmt : "if" cond_expr "then" then_stmt ';'
{ $if_stmt = mk_if_stmt($cond_expr, $then_stmt); }
In the more common case, explicit names may be declared:
stmt[res] : "if" expr[cond] "then" stmt[then] "else" stmt[else] ';'
{ $res = mk_if_stmt($cond, $then, $else); }
Location information is also accessible using @name syntax. When
accessing symbol names containing dots or dashes, explicit bracketing
($[sym.1]) must be used.
These features are experimental in this version. More user feedback
will help to stabilize them.
** IELR(1) and canonical LR(1):
IELR(1) is a minimal LR(1) parser table generation algorithm. That
is, given any context-free grammar, IELR(1) generates parser tables
with the full language-recognition power of canonical LR(1) but with
nearly the same number of parser states as LALR(1). This reduction
in parser states is often an order of magnitude. More importantly,
because canonical LR(1)'s extra parser states may contain duplicate
conflicts in the case of non-LR(1) grammars, the number of conflicts
for IELR(1) is often an order of magnitude less as well. This can
significantly reduce the complexity of developing of a grammar.
Bison can now generate IELR(1) and canonical LR(1) parser tables in
place of its traditional LALR(1) parser tables, which remain the
default. You can specify the type of parser tables in the grammar
file with these directives:
%define lr.type lalr
%define lr.type ielr
%define lr.type canonical-lr
The default-reduction optimization in the parser tables can also be
adjusted using `%define lr.default-reductions'. For details on both
of these features, see the new section `Tuning LR' in the Bison
manual.
These features are experimental. More user feedback will help to
stabilize them.
** LAC (Lookahead Correction) for syntax error handling:
Canonical LR, IELR, and LALR can suffer from a couple of problems
upon encountering a syntax error. First, the parser might perform
additional parser stack reductions before discovering the syntax
error. Such reductions can perform user semantic actions that are
unexpected because they are based on an invalid token, and they
cause error recovery to begin in a different syntactic context than
the one in which the invalid token was encountered. Second, when
verbose error messages are enabled (with %error-verbose or the
obsolete `#define YYERROR_VERBOSE'), the expected token list in the
syntax error message can both contain invalid tokens and omit valid
tokens.
The culprits for the above problems are %nonassoc, default
reductions in inconsistent states, and parser state merging. Thus,
IELR and LALR suffer the most. Canonical LR can suffer only if
%nonassoc is used or if default reductions are enabled for
inconsistent states.
LAC is a new mechanism within the parsing algorithm that solves
these problems for canonical LR, IELR, and LALR without sacrificing
%nonassoc, default reductions, or state merging. When LAC is in
use, canonical LR and IELR behave almost exactly the same for both
syntactically acceptable and syntactically unacceptable input.
While LALR still does not support the full language-recognition
power of canonical LR and IELR, LAC at least enables LALR's syntax
error handling to correctly reflect LALR's language-recognition
power.
Currently, LAC is only supported for deterministic parsers in C.
You can enable LAC with the following directive:
%define parse.lac full
See the new section `LAC' in the Bison manual for additional
details including a few caveats.
LAC is an experimental feature. More user feedback will help to
stabilize it.
** %define improvements:
*** Can now be invoked via the command line:
Each of these command-line options
-D NAME[=VALUE]
--define=NAME[=VALUE]
-F NAME[=VALUE]
--force-define=NAME[=VALUE]
is equivalent to this grammar file declaration
%define NAME ["VALUE"]
except that the manner in which Bison processes multiple definitions
for the same NAME differs. Most importantly, -F and --force-define
quietly override %define, but -D and --define do not. For further
details, see the section `Bison Options' in the Bison manual.
*** Variables renamed:
The following %define variables
api.push_pull
lr.keep_unreachable_states
have been renamed to
api.push-pull
lr.keep-unreachable-states
The old names are now deprecated but will be maintained indefinitely
for backward compatibility.
*** Values no longer need to be quoted in the grammar file:
If a %define value is an identifier, it no longer needs to be placed
within quotations marks. For example,
%define api.push-pull "push"
can be rewritten as
%define api.push-pull push
*** Unrecognized variables are now errors not warnings.
*** Multiple invocations for any variable is now an error not a warning.
** Unrecognized %code qualifiers 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:
YYFAIL has existed for many years as an undocumented feature of
deterministic parsers in C generated by Bison. More recently, it was
a documented feature of Bison's experimental Java parsers. As
promised in Bison 2.4.2's NEWS entry, any appearance of YYFAIL in a
semantic action now produces a deprecation warning, and Java parsers
no longer implement YYFAIL at all. For further details, including a
discussion of how to suppress C preprocessor warnings about YYFAIL
being unused, see the Bison 2.4.2 NEWS entry.
** Temporary hack for adding a semicolon to the user action:
Previously, Bison appended a semicolon to every user action for
reductions when the output language defaulted to C (specifically, when
neither %yacc, %language, %skeleton, or equivalent command-line
options were specified). This allowed actions such as
exp: exp "+" exp { $$ = $1 + $3 };
instead of
exp: exp "+" exp { $$ = $1 + $3; };
As a first step in removing this misfeature, Bison now issues a
warning when it appends a semicolon. Moreover, in cases where Bison
cannot easily determine whether a semicolon is needed (for example, an
action ending with a cpp directive or a braced compound initializer),
it no longer appends one. Thus, the C compiler might now complain
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 the obsolete `#define YYERROR_VERBOSE' is
specified, syntax error messages produced by the generated parser
include the unexpected token as well as a list of expected tokens.
The effect of %nonassoc on these verbose messages has been corrected
in two ways, but a more complete fix requires LAC, described above:
*** When %nonassoc is used, there can exist parser states that accept no
tokens, and so the parser does not always require a lookahead token
in order to detect a syntax error. Because no unexpected token or
expected tokens can then be reported, the verbose syntax error
message described above is suppressed, and the parser instead
reports the simpler message, `syntax error'. Previously, this
suppression was sometimes erroneously triggered by %nonassoc when a
lookahead was actually required. Now verbose messages are
suppressed only when all previous lookaheads have already been
shifted or discarded.
*** Previously, the list of expected tokens erroneously included tokens
that would actually induce a syntax error because conflicts for them
were resolved with %nonassoc in the current parser state. Such
tokens are now properly omitted from the list.
*** Expected token lists are still often wrong due to state merging
(from LALR or IELR) and default reductions, which can both add
invalid tokens and subtract valid tokens. Canonical LR almost
completely fixes this problem by eliminating state merging and
default reductions. However, there is one minor problem left even
when using canonical LR and even after the fixes above. That is,
if the resolution of a conflict with %nonassoc appears in a later
parser state than the one at which some syntax error is
discovered, the conflicted token is still erroneously included in
the expected token list. Bison's new LAC implementation,
described above, eliminates this problem and the need for
canonical LR. However, LAC is still experimental and is disabled
by default.
** Java skeleton fixes:
*** A location handling bug has been fixed.
*** The top element of each of the value stack and location stack is now
cleared when popped so that it can be garbage collected.
*** Parser traces now print the top element of the stack.
** -W/--warnings fixes:
*** Bison now properly recognizes the `no-' versions of categories:
For example, given the following command line, Bison now enables all
warnings except warnings for incompatibilities with POSIX Yacc:
bison -Wall,no-yacc gram.y
*** Bison now treats S/R and R/R conflicts like other warnings:
Previously, conflict reports were independent of Bison's normal
warning system. Now, Bison recognizes the warning categories
`conflicts-sr' and `conflicts-rr'. This change has important
consequences for the -W and --warnings command-line options. For
example:
bison -Wno-conflicts-sr gram.y # S/R conflicts not reported
bison -Wno-conflicts-rr gram.y # R/R conflicts not reported
bison -Wnone gram.y # no conflicts are reported
bison -Werror gram.y # any conflict is an error
However, as before, if the %expect or %expect-rr directive is
specified, an unexpected number of conflicts is an error, and an
expected number of conflicts is not reported, so -W and --warning
then have no effect on the conflict report.
*** The `none' category no longer disables a preceding `error':
For example, for the following command line, Bison now reports
errors instead of warnings for incompatibilities with POSIX Yacc:
bison -Werror,none,yacc gram.y
*** The `none' category now disables all Bison warnings:
Previously, the `none' category disabled only Bison warnings for
which there existed a specific -W/--warning category. However,
given the following command line, Bison is now guaranteed to
suppress all warnings:
bison -Wnone gram.y
** Precedence directives can now assign token number 0:
Since Bison 2.3b, which restored the ability of precedence
directives to assign token numbers, doing so for token number 0 has
produced an assertion failure. For example:
%left END 0
This bug has been fixed.
