Bug reports for Bison, the GNU parser generator

Joel E. Denny | 2 Nov 23:43

Bison 2.4 released

Bison version 2.4 is now available.  Relative to 2.3, this version
contains many bug fixes and many exciting new features that need
more user feedback.  Some of the more notable features are:

  1. XML or Graphviz DOT format for the LALR(1) automaton.
  2. Push parsers.
  3. Java-based parsers.
  4. %code, a flexible alternative to traditional Yacc prologue blocks.
  5. Default %destructor and %printer directives.

See "NEWS" below for further details.

Here are the compressed sources:

bison-2.4 breaks gcc-4.3.2 build

Hello,

I've been routinely building various gcc version with bison-2.3 with no 
problems.

bison-2.4 breaks the build, the error messages are:

Thanks for doing that.  It would be helpful if you would do the same for 
Bison test releases, such as 2.3a and 2.3b, before formal releases come 
out.

Oh, I see.  Bison is not fixing users' semantic actions anymore.  If I can 
find time, I'll try to track down why this changed.  Maybe someone else 
can figure it out first because I don't have time now.

Not necessary.  The above is what we needed to know.

And bison-2.3a does _not_ break the build, i.e. the 'treelang' broken by
bison-2.4, bison-2.3b is not broken by bison-2.3a, but the build (other
languages) is still in progress.

  Sergei.

bison 2.4 breaks libIDL 0.8.11 build

Hello,

tried to build libIDL 0.8.11 [1] with bison 2.4 and got the following
error message, while building with 2.3 just works fine:

$> make
bison -y -d -v 2>/dev/null ./parser.y
make: *** [stamp-parser] Error 1

and after removing the redirect and calling the above manually:

$> bison -y -d -v ./parser.y
./parser.y:610.9-10: $$ for the midrule at $6 of `struct_type' has no declared type
./parser.y:627.9-10: $$ for the midrule at $10 of `union_type' has no declared type
