Patch queue at Savannah

[Tim Landscheidt]

Hi,

Savannah's Bison page has some very old patches
(<URI:https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?group=bison>).  Four
are IMHO completely obsolete:

- "vcg.c layoutalgorithm": "--graph" now outputs dot files.

- "xvcg-1.3 graph output validation testtool": Dito (very
  sad for the code though :-)).

- "Wrong type in C++ skeleton": Fixed independently with
  0f0e1a.

- "stack::height return type is wrong for 64-bit environ-
  ment": Fixed independently with 56017c.

One has been partly obsoleted:

- "bison.texinfo fixes": Attached is a rework that applies
  to HEAD.

One has been superseded (I think):

- "A polymorphic YYSTYPE for C++ (instead of the %union)":
  This seems to be covered now by "C++ Variants".

This gives one remaining:

- "Warning/Error format compatible with Visual Studio": Ba-
  sically, the patch author wants to replace Bison's loca-
  tion format in error messages from the GNU Coding Stand-
  ards':

  | sourcefile:lineno:column

  to:

  | sourcefile(lineno) : column

  to please his IDE.

I have insufficient karma to close the reports myself.

Tim
