RE: C++: Pointer to non-const std::string in position and location should be a pointer to const std::string

Hello Akim, Yuriy,

I did some experiments with the pull parser but I don't have any useful draft code I can give you, sorry for that.
Anyway, if I may help you somehow, let me know.

Victor

The official home of Bison is on Savannah (https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/bison/).  The official repo is here: https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=bison.

I have a personal fork on GitHub which some people find useful to track: https://github.com/akimd/bison.

With joy and passion.

More seriously: contributors must sign disclaimers to the FSF, so that there would never be legal disputes on the license of the code.  Contributors submit patches on [email protected], and maintainers (that would be me mostly) comment the proposal, ask for changes, etc.

Part of this can happen as a PR on my repo, but eventually, things must be made public in [email protected].

There's some information about this process in README-hacking (https://github.com/akimd/bison/blob/master/README-hacking.md).

There's a number of things TODO (https://github.com/akimd/bison/blob/master/TODO).  C++ push is quite high on the wish list.
