Bison version 2.3 has been released. This is mostly a porting and bug-fix release; the only change to user-visible behavior is to the YYRECOVERING macro in GLR grammars, as noted near the end of this message.
Bison is a parser generator that is compatible with Yacc. Please see <http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/> for more info.

Then obtain the file bison-2.3.tar.gz, and execute the following shell commands or their equivalents: gunzip <bison-2.3.tar.gz | tar xf - cd bison-2.3 ./configure make make check We particularly appreciate tests on unusual hosts. Please report bugs to <bug-bison@gnu.org>. As usual, thanks to everyone who has contributed bug reports and improvements to Bison. Here is a list of user-visible changes in version 2.3, as compared to 2.2. * GLR grammars should now use `YYRECOVERING ()' instead of `YYRECOVERING', for compatibility with LALR(1) grammars. * It is now documented that any definition of YYSTYPE or YYLTYPE should be to a type name that does not contain parentheses or brackets. _______________________________________________ GNU Announcement mailing list <info-gnu@gnu.org> http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnu
