Again, it would be great if someone could recall how %token-table and
the
yytname table it generates were originally intended to be used.
Maybe this helps: looked in the oldest known bison-1.0 source
which has yytname[] in output.c/bison.simple but at that time
there was no ChangeLog file and maybe no cvs repo in may 1988.
And oldest ChangeLog entry with yytname is:
Thu Dec 13 12:45:54 1990 Richard Stallman (rms at mole.ai.mit.edu)
* output.c (output_rule_data): Put all symbols in yytname.
The oldest and only ChangeLog entry with token-table is:
2006-08-18 Joel E. Denny <jde...@ces.clemson.edu>
Redo some of the previous commit: add back the ability to use
non-aliased/undeclared string literals since it might be useful
to
those declaring %token-table.
Oldest found doc about a option --token-table and %token-table is
in gcc-1.22 or gcc-1.24 in bison.info.2 or .4 without a note how to use
it.
Looked in the complete reconstructed ChangeLog file in oldbison archive
starting with first found Bison ChangeLog file and the first entry
has the date: Mon Apr 18 04:54:32 1988
