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 <address@hidden>.
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"'.
