Bison test version 2.0a is now available. It contains mostly bug fixes for Bison 2.0. Our intention is to generate a new official release soon, based on feedback from this test version.
Here is the URL: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.0a.tar.gz Here is the MD5 checksum: 4304bcadc0115d0eb6c8744f83158a7e bison-2.0a.tar.gz To try this test version, please make sure you have GNU m4 1.4.3 <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.3.tar.gz> installed, and then execute the following shell commands or their equivalents: wget ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-2.0a.tar.gz gunzip <bison-2.0a.tar.gz | tar xf - cd bison-2.0a ./configure make make check We particularly appreciate tests on unusual hosts. Please report bugs to <bug-bison@gnu.org>. Bison is a parser generator that is compatible with Yacc. Please see <http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/> for more info about Bison. Here is a list of user-visible changes in version 2.0a, compared to 2.0: * Bison-generated C parsers use the _ macro to translate strings from English to the user's language, e.g., _("syntax error"). By default, _ is defined to be a no-op macro so the strings are not translated. * When generating verbose diagnostics, Bison-generated C parsers no longer quote the literal strings associated with tokens. For example, for a syntax error associated with '%token NUM "number"' they might print 'syntax error, unexpected number' instead of 'syntax error, unexpected "number"'. _______________________________________________ Help-bison@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-bison
