Hi Wilfred,

I would like to package your bison-mode for Gentoo. What's the license your mode is released under?

Thanks,

nick

The electric indentation for bison-mode gives... interesting results when run on each line of the buffer.

i think this is the fix:

(defvar bison--word-constituent-re "\\(\\sw\\|_\\)\\|\\('.'\\)")

although maybe it should go in bison--production-re ?

try this:

rule:
          'h' 'e' 'l' 'l' 'o' {}
         | sym1 {}
         ;

When loading bison-mode the above error is generated.
version of emacs: GNU Emacs 25.2.2
Tell me what else you need to help determine the error.

on line 450, the forward-sexp starts one character after the opening brace rather than on it... point should be moved back one prior to the forward-sexp.

Hi Wilfred,

I'm working on packaging bison-mode in Debian and when working on the copyright part the team notices that you are not part of the copyright holders (as listed in the comments). As for the current status the common practice is to just include the ones in the copyright notice, I would have to leave you out for now. Would you like to add yourself there as well so that we can acknowledge your contributions in our copyright file?

Getting the following error on Emacs 25.2:
(emacs --debug-init)

File mode specification error: (error There should be a mode declaration in /usr/share/emacs/25.2/etc/srecode/c.srt)

you need to adjust your regexp for keyword coloring.
e.g. preprocess_if when used as a variable (after having been declared earlier) will incorrectly highlight the if portion of the variable.

here's the fix, i think:

(defun bison--production-alternative-p (bol eol section)
  "return t if the current line contains a \"|\" used to designate a rule
alternative"
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char bol)
    (if (re-search-forward "[^']|" eol t) ; todo: should also match | at bol
    (not (bison--within-braced-c-expression-p section))
      nil)))

example test case...

rule:
      '|' token1 { /* this matches a literal bar followed by token1 */ |
      | token2 {}
     ;
