bison

Release Notes: Compiler attribute portability was fixed. Compiler warnings were eliminated.

Release Notes: %language is no longer an experimental feature. Experimental exception safety was introduced. Compiler warnings from Bison-generated parsers are now fully avoided. The formats of error messages and reports was slightly modified. Various minor bugs were fixed.

Release Notes: Generated headers are now guarded against multiple inclusion. A new variable "api.prefix" has been introduced to replace "%name-prefix". Warnings for stray "@" or "$" in actions have been expanded. Creation of spurious whitespace and empty lines is now avoided. Various further minor fixes and improvements have been made.

Release Notes: Support was added for dashes in grammar symbol names, for named references in semantic actions such as "$sym" instead of "$1", and for LAC (Lookahead Correction) for syntax error handling. Bison can now generate IELR(1) and canonical LR(1) parser tables in place of its traditional LALR(1) parser tables. Fixes were made for %error-verbose syntax error messages. Many other improvements and bugfixes were made.

Release Notes: Some portability problems as well as some failures in the test suite were resolved. Detection of GNU M4 1.4.6 or newer during configure was improved. %code is now a permanent feature. YYFAIL is deprecated and pending removal. Bison now obeys "-Werror" and "--warnings=error" for warnings about grammar rules that are useless in the parser due to conflicts. Several other minor changes were made and bugs were fixed.
