- This directory contains the Bison A2.0 parser generator.
- See the file INSTALL for compilation and installation instructions.
- It was once true that, when installing Bison on Sequent (or Pyramid?)
- systems, you had to be in the Berkeley universe. This may no longer
- be true; we have no way to tell.
- On VMS, you will probably have to create Makefile from Makefile.in by
- hand. Remember to do `SET COMMAND BISON' to install the data in
- `BISON.CLD'.
- Bison A2.0 is adapted from Bison-1.19 by Wilfred J. Hansen, Andrew
- Consortium, Carnegie Mellon University. It
- differs from earlier versions in three major ways:
- Errors in the input grammar are not fatal; all errors are
- found in one pass. A complete example and test case is
- the file mess.y in the distribution.
-
- Tokens may now be specified as multiple-character strings:
- "<=" can appear where formerly would have to be LESSEQ.
- See the section on @pxref{multiple-character literal}.
- The -n switch produces the parser tables without including
- the parser; a project can now use its own parser
- and avoid the GNU license for the resulting application.
- See the @samp{--no-parser} switch.
- Please send bug reports to wjh+@cmu.edu. Please include the
- version number from `bison --version', and a complete, self-contained
- test case in each bug report.
