- Subject: [RFC] GCC vs Bison-1.875
Hi again,
thanks to Paolo Bonzini, I have finally found the reason of many spurious
fails I was recently seeing (*). A section in the Bison-1.875 NEWS reads:
* POSIX conformance
...
- `parse error' -> `syntax error'
Bison now uniformly uses the term `syntax error'; formerly, the code
and manual sometimes used the term `parse error' instead. POSIX
requires `syntax error' in diagnostics, and it was thought better to
be consistent.
What should be done wrt this issue?
Perhaps the testsuite updated or maybe a section temporarily added to the
docs recommending the use of Bison '<' 1.875?
Thanks,
Paolo.
(*) Downgrading to older Bison didn't seem to fix the problem only because,
inadvertently, I had a duplicate /share/bison dir..
