Usage: bison [OPTION]... FILE
Generate a deterministic LR or generalized LR (GLR) parser employing
LALR(1), IELR(1), or canonical LR(1) parser tables. IELR(1) and
canonical LR(1) support is experimental.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
The same is true for optional arguments.
Operation modes:
-h, --help display this help and exit
-V, --version output version information and exit
--print-localedir output directory containing locale-dependent data
--print-datadir output directory containing skeletons and XSLT
-y, --yacc emulate POSIX Yacc
-W, --warnings[=CATEGORY] report the warnings falling in CATEGORY
-f, --feature[=FEATURE] activate miscellaneous features
Parser:
-L, --language=LANGUAGE specify the output programming language
-S, --skeleton=FILE specify the skeleton to use
-t, --debug instrument the parser for tracing
same as '-Dparse.trace'
--locations enable location support
-D, --define=NAME[=VALUE] similar to '%define NAME "VALUE"'
-F, --force-define=NAME[=VALUE] override '%define NAME "VALUE"'
-p, --name-prefix=PREFIX prepend PREFIX to the external symbols
deprecated by '-Dapi.prefix=PREFIX'
-l, --no-lines don't generate '#line' directives
-k, --token-table include a table of token names
Output:
--defines[=FILE] also produce a header file
-d likewise but cannot specify FILE (for POSIX Yacc)
-r, --report=THINGS also produce details on the automaton
--report-file=FILE write report to FILE
-v, --verbose same as '--report=state'
-b, --file-prefix=PREFIX specify a PREFIX for output files
-o, --output=FILE leave output to FILE
-g, --graph[=FILE] also output a graph of the automaton
-x, --xml[=FILE] also output an XML report of the automaton
(the XML schema is experimental)
Warning categories include:
'midrule-values' unset or unused midrule values
'yacc' incompatibilities with POSIX Yacc
'conflicts-sr' S/R conflicts (enabled by default)
'conflicts-rr' R/R conflicts (enabled by default)
'deprecated' obsolete constructs
'empty-rule' empty rules without %empty
'precedence' useless precedence and associativity
'other' all other warnings (enabled by default)
'all' all the warnings except 'yacc'
'no-CATEGORY' turn off warnings in CATEGORY
'none' turn off all the warnings
'error[=CATEGORY]' treat warnings as errors
THINGS is a list of comma separated words that can include:
'state' describe the states
'itemset' complete the core item sets with their closure
'lookahead' explicitly associate lookahead tokens to items
'solved' describe shift/reduce conflicts solving
'all' include all the above information
'none' disable the report
FEATURE is a list of comma separated words that can include:
'caret' show errors with carets
'all' all of the above
'none' disable all of the above
