The -r option has been implemented. The -r option tells Yacc to
|
||
|
|
put the read-only tables in y.tab.c and the code and variables in
|
||
|
|
y.code.c. Keith Bostic asked for this option so that :yyfix could be
|
||
|
|
eliminated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The -l and -t options have been implemented. The -l option tells
|
||
|
|
Yacc not to include #line directives in the code it produces. The -t
|
||
|
|
option causes debugging code to be included in the compiled parser.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The code for error recovery has been changed to implement the same
|
||
|
|
algorithm as AT&T Yacc. There will still be differences in the way
|
||
|
|
error recovery works because AT&T Yacc uses more default reductions
|
||
|
|
than Berkeley Yacc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The environment variable TMPDIR determines the directory where
|
||
|
|
temporary files will be created. If TMPDIR is defined, temporary files
|
||
|
|
will be created in the directory whose pathname is the value of TMPDIR.
|
||
|
|
By default, temporary files are created in /tmp.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The keywords are now case-insensitive. For example, %nonassoc,
|
||
|
|
%NONASSOC, %NonAssoc, and %nOnAsSoC are all equivalent.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Commas and semicolons that are not part of C code are treated as
|
||
|
|
commentary.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Line-end comments, as in BCPL, are permitted. Line-end comments
|
||
|
|
begin with // and end at the next end-of-line. Line-end comments are
|
||
|
|
permitted in C code; they are converted to C comments on output.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The form of y.output files has been changed to look more like
|
||
|
|
those produced by AT&T Yacc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A new kind of declaration has been added. The form of the declaration
|
||
|
|
is
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
%ident string
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
where string is a sequence of characters begining with a double quote
|
||
|
|
and ending with either a double quote or the next end-of-line, whichever
|
||
|
|
comes first. The declaration will cause a #ident directive to be written
|
||
|
|
near the start of the output file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If a parser has been compiled with debugging code, that code can be
|
||
|
|
enabled by setting an environment variable. If the environment variable
|
||
|
|
YYDEBUG is set to 0, debugging output is suppressed. If it is set to 1,
|
||
|
|
debugging output is written to standard output.
