FreshPorts -- devel/bison

Bison is a tool used to write parsers, such as the parser for GNU cc. It is similar to Yacc, which is included in the base FreeBSD system. The main difference between Bison and Yacc that I know of is that Bison supports the @N construction, which gives you access to the starting and ending line number and character number associated with any of the symbols in the current rule. Also, Bison supports the command `%expect N' which says not to mention the conflicts if there are N shift/reduce conflicts and no reduce/reduce conflicts. The differences in the algorithms stem mainly from the horrible kludges that Johnson had to perpetrate to make Yacc fit in a PDP-11. Also, Bison uses a faster but less space-efficient encoding for the parse tables (see Corbett's PhD thesis from Berkeley, "Static Semantics in Compiler Error Recovery", June 1985, Report No. UCB/CSD 85/251), and more modern technique for generating the lookahead sets. (See "Efficient Construction of LALR(1) Lookahead Sets" by F. DeRemer and A. Pennello, in ACM TOPLS Vol 4 No 4, October 1982. Their technique is the standard one now.)

To install the port: cd /usr/ports/devel/bison/ && make install clean
To add the package: pkg_add -r bison

- Add LDFLAGS to CONFIGURE_ENV and MAKE_ENV (as it was done with LDFLAGS) - Fix all ports that add {CPP,LD}FLAGS to *_ENV to modify flags instead PR: 157936 Submitted by: myself Exp-runs by: pav Approved by: pav

- Update bison to 2.4.1, see announcements for important changes: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2008-11/msg00000.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2008-12/msg00000.html - Take over bison maintainership - as approved by portmgr (marcus) - Add patches for ports to compile with new bison: Replace %{ .. %} with %code { .. } where required and accommodate stricter typing requirements Thanks to pav for an exp-run on pointyhat PR: ports/131640 Approved by: portmgr (pav)

Update CONFIGURE_ARGS for how we pass CONFIGURE_TARGET to configure script. Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the configure target. In short, one should use --build=CONFIGURE_TARGET instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases. To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix. To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used. Changes to Mk/*: - Add runtime detection magic in bsd.port.mk

Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext. The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT in Makefile (29 of them). PR: ports/124340 Submitted by: edwin@ Approved by: portmgr (pav)

A few more cleanups after recent events with bison * lose the bison175 port, it's not needed for now and will only confuse matters * clean up devel/Makefile, modules, and MOVED appropriately * take maintainership of the bison* ports Approved by: portmgr

Clean up handling of locale directories at deinstall-time: * Don't remove "system directories" (which were created by BSD.*.dist) * Silently try to remove locale directories which we might have created

update devel/bison: add WITHOUT_NLS support The patch allows bison to be compiled without gettext support, for use when space is tight or the gettext dependency is not desired. PR: 48824 Submitted by: Matthias Andree <matthias.andree@web.de>

Due to popular demant into each port which might be inserted into dependency list by bsd.port.mk insert anti foot-shooting device, which prevents infinite fork loop when the user defines corresponding USE_XXX in global make.conf, command line or environment. Similar devices should probably be inserted into ports that might be inserted into dependency list by others bsd.foo.mk files (bsd.ruby.mk, bsd.python.mk and so on.)

This PORTEPOCH for life crap is stupid. Back out the downgrade, I would have never agreed to it if I had know... This leaves a window of downgradededness 18 hours -- people can just live with that.
