The group_name grammar rule was incorrectly defined as
returning a type<val> which is an int. It actually returns
a type<name> which is a char *.
Having group_name declared as val (int) and assigning a char * value
to it can lead to crashes on platforms where pointer size exceeds
size of int.
On newer versions of Bison, this bug led to the following
warnings during compilation:
parse.y: In function ‘yyparse’:
parse.y:106:56: warning: passing argument 1 of
‘cgroup_config_insert_cgroup’ makes pointer from integer
