Hi.

We're doing some experimental gawk development, and have found that
there is a difference if using bison 2.7 or 3.0.2.  If you check out
the gawk repository from savannah and checkout the 'comment' branch,
then

        ./boostrap.sh
        ./configure && make && make check

Only a few tests will fail, which we're working on.

However, if you remove awkgram.c and use bison 3.0.2 to regenerate
it, then run

        make && make check

A larger number of tests fail with errors due to line numbers being
off and also a core dump, apparently from a semantic action not
getting run, or run correctly.

I'd prefer to be using the current bison for my development, but this
is something of a showstopper.

Can anyone shed some light?

Thanks,

Arnold
