# There are two types of parser skeletons:
#
# * Those that can be used with any Yacc implementation, including bison.
#   For these, in the configure.ac, up to Autoconf 2.69, you could use
#     AC_PROG_YACC
#   In newer Autoconf versions, however, this macro is broken. See
#     https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2013-03/msg00000.html
#     https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2018-12/msg00001.html
#   In the Makefile.am you could use
#     $(SHELL) $(YLWRAP) $(srcdir)/foo.y \
#                        y.tab.c foo.c \
#                        y.tab.h foo.h \
#                        y.output foo.output \
#                        -- $(YACC) $(YFLAGS) $(AM_YFLAGS)
#   or similar.
#
# * Those that make use of Bison extensions. For example,
#     - %define api.pure   requires bison 2.7 or newer,
#     - %precedence        requires bison 3.0 or newer.
#   For these, in the configure.ac you will need an invocation of
#     gl_PROG_BISON([VARIABLE], [MIN_BISON_VERSION])
#   Example:
#     gl_PROG_BISON([PARSE_DATETIME_BISON], [2.4])
#   With this preparation, in the Makefile.am there are two ways to formulate
#   the invocation. Both are direct, without use of 'ylwrap'.
#   (a) You can invoke
#         $(VARIABLE) -d $(SOME_BISON_OPTIONS) --output foo.c $(srcdir)/foo.y
#       or similar.
#   (b) If you want the invocation to honor an YFLAGS=... parameter passed to
#       'configure' or an YFLAGS environment variable present at 'configure'
#       time, add an invocation of gl_BISON to the configure.ac, and write
#         $(VARIABLE) -d $(YFLAGS) $(AM_YFLAGS) $(srcdir)/foo.y
#       or similar.

# This macro defines the autoconf variable VARIABLE to 'bison' if the specified
# minimum version of bison is found in $PATH, or to ':' otherwise.
