ECPG and bison

Yes, we are going to upgrade to bison 1.50 on our main server as soon as
Marc gets it installed. If you want to make your changes and commit
those now, you can, because I assume your bison 1.50 output will get
into CVS. I have bison 1.50 here too.

postgresql.org still has bison 1.35 installed and 7.3 release is
nearing.

Okay.

into CVS. I have bison 1.50 here too.

The changes are there already, I just have to fold the ecpg.big branch
into HEAD.

Probably you should refrain from doing that until Marc installs 1.50
at postgresql.org, else the nightly snapshots will be broken, to no
one's advantage.

Marc, can you do something about installing bison 1.50 soon?

(Guess I'd better get it loaded on my own machines, too...)

Looks like threre is a 1.75 out (based on a FreeBSD PR I just saw fly
by).

I can confirm that:

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/

Attached is the Changelog since 1.50.

Urgh. Nothing like major releases 2 weeks apart to give one a nice warm
comfy feeling about the stability of one's tools.

Offhand it looks like these are nearly all bug fixes, and so we'd better
standardize on 1.75 not 1.50. But I wonder what will be out next
week...

I suggest that you merge your branch as soon as you are ready and force
the issue a bit. It's not like the bison installation on
postgresql.org can make the world stop.

Agreed. We need to push this.

that's one of hte reasons I've been holding off (the other being a busy
week) ... I *try* to keep stuff like this to what the FreeBSD ports
collection considers a stable release, and it hasn't been updated yet :(

The PR I referred to above is the PR to update to 1.75.

I can confirm that:

I just tried Marc's installation of 1.75 and compared the result with my
1.50 compiled version of ecpg grammar and found both .c files to be
identical. Seems the changes didn't effect the parser output.

Oh, that's very good news. Makes me feel a little more secure.
