     The -r option has been implemented.  The -r option tells Yacc to
 | 
						|
put the read-only tables in y.tab.c and the code and variables in
 | 
						|
y.code.c.  Keith Bostic asked for this option so that :yyfix could be
 | 
						|
eliminated.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     The -l and -t options have been implemented.  The -l option tells
 | 
						|
Yacc not to include #line directives in the code it produces.  The -t
 | 
						|
option causes debugging code to be included in the compiled parser.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     The code for error recovery has been changed to implement the same
 | 
						|
algorithm as AT&T Yacc.  There will still be differences in the way
 | 
						|
error recovery works because AT&T Yacc uses more default reductions
 | 
						|
than Berkeley Yacc.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     The environment variable TMPDIR determines the directory where
 | 
						|
temporary files will be created.  If TMPDIR is defined, temporary files
 | 
						|
will be created in the directory whose pathname is the value of TMPDIR.
 | 
						|
By default, temporary files are created in /tmp.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     The keywords are now case-insensitive.  For example, %nonassoc,
 | 
						|
%NONASSOC, %NonAssoc, and %nOnAsSoC are all equivalent.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     Commas and semicolons that are not part of C code are treated as
 | 
						|
commentary.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     Line-end comments, as in BCPL, are permitted.  Line-end comments
 | 
						|
begin with // and end at the next end-of-line.  Line-end comments are
 | 
						|
permitted in C code; they are converted to C comments on output.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     The form of y.output files has been changed to look more like
 | 
						|
those produced by AT&T Yacc.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     A new kind of declaration has been added.  The form of the declaration
 | 
						|
is
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	  %ident string
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
where string is a sequence of characters begining with a double quote
 | 
						|
and ending with either a double quote or the next end-of-line, whichever
 | 
						|
comes first.  The declaration will cause a #ident directive to be written
 | 
						|
near the start of the output file.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     If a parser has been compiled with debugging code, that code can be
 | 
						|
enabled by setting an environment variable.  If the environment variable
 | 
						|
YYDEBUG is set to 0, debugging output is suppressed.  If it is set to 1,
 | 
						|
debugging output is written to standard output.
