<p>The size of the code generated by yecc has been

<p>A note regarding the <c>includefile</c> option:
although yecc can cope with includefiles based on some
earlier <c>yeccpre.hrl</c> it is recommended for
efficiency reasons to update includefiles as to follow
the pattern in the latest <c>yeccpre.hrl</c>.</p>

<title>Parsetools 1.4</title>
<section>
<title>Improvements and Fixed Bugs</title>
<p>Several modifications of Yecc have been made:</p>
<list type="bulleted">
<item>
<p>The new functions <c>file/1,2</c> take the
role of the old functions <c>yecc/2,3,4</c>. The
latter functions are no longer documented but are
kept for backward compatibility.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>More checks of the grammar file have been
implemented. Examples are warnings for unused
non-terminals and duplicated declarations.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Invalid pseudo variables are no longer
replaced by <c>'$undefined'</c> but cause a failure.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Reserved words no longer need to be quoted
when used as terminals or non-terminals.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>When compiling the generated parser file errors
and warnings concerning user code refer to
the grammar file, not the parser file.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Yecc emits a warning if there are conflicts
in the grammar. The new declaration <c>Expect</c> can
be used to suppress this warning.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>The new operator precedence declaration
<c>Nonassoc</c> can be used to declare operators with
no associativity.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Precedence can be given to more than one operator
with one single operator precedence declaration.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>The function <c>parse_and_scan/1</c> in the
default includefile accepts <c>{Function, A}</c>
as well as {{M,F}, A} as tokenizer function.
Exceptions in the tokenizer are never caught.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>The functions <c>yecc:file/1,2</c> can be accessed
from the Erlang shell via the new functions <c>c:y/1,2</c>
in STDLIB.</p>
</item>
</list>
<p>See yecc(3) for further details.</p>

<p>A bug in <c>Yecc</c> that was introduced in R9B has been
removed. Another bug concerning precedence declaration
"one level up" has been fixed.</p>

<title>Parsetools 1.3.1</title>
<section>
<title>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</title>
<list type="bulleted">
<item>
<p>A bug in the file <c>parsetools/include/yeccpre.hrl</c>
caused <c>yecc:parse_and_scan/1</c> to always report a
parse failure when the lexer reported end-of-file. This
problem has been fixed.</p>
