This software is part of the GNU Project.

Bison is a general-purpose parser generator that converts an
annotated context-free grammar into an LALR(1), LR(1), or
GLR parser for that grammar.  Once you are proficient with
Bison, you can use it to develop a wide range of language parsers, from those
used in simple desk calculators to complex programming languages.

Bison is upward compatible with Yacc: all properly-written Yacc grammars
ought to work with Bison with no change.  Anyone familiar with Yacc
should be able to use Bison with little trouble.

problem, "bison -Wcounterexamples" now gives: [...]

  are properly preserved.

Bison 3.5 released [stable]
     posted by akim, Wed 01 Jan 2020 09:37:26 AM UTC

We are very happy to announce the release of Bison 3.5, the best release
ever of Bison!  Better than 3.4, although it was a big improvement over 3.3,
which was huge upgrade compared to 3.2, itself way ahead Bison 3.1.  Ethic
demands that we don't mention 3.0.  Rumor has it that Bison 3.5 is not as [...]
