Bison is a general-purpose parser generator that converts a grammar description for an LALR (1) context-free grammar into a C program to parse that grammar. Once you are proficient with Bison, you may 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. You need to be fluent in C programming in order to use Bison or to understand this manual. The books in the iUniverse.com Computer Books Series are composed of freely available online computer manuals, industry standard specifications, and electronically distributed computer-programming guides. They include open documents' collections of industry specifications and standards and a collection of the best open source documentation on the Web...the most complete open source library available anywhere. Each book contains the complete, unabridged text of the original document. The on-demand publishing process gives you the actual text of the online document in a convenient, inexpensive, easy-to-use format.

This manual describes how to compare and merge files using GNU diff and patch. Comparing and merging files is a common activity for software developers. These programs make it easy to find and apply changes. GNU diff is part of the GNU diffutils package, a complete set of programs for handling differences between groups of files. GNU patch allows these differences to be distributed in an efficient format. This is a printed copy of the offical GNU diffutils manual. It documents all the diffutils programs (diff, cmp, sdiff, diff3), plus GNU patch. GNU diff and patch are free software. For each copy of this manual sold, $1 will be donated to the Free Software Foundation.

Debugging with GDB: The GNU Source-Level Debugger, Tenth Edition, for GDB version 8.1.50.20180116-git. This book is available for free at gnu.org. This book is printed in grayscale.
The purpose of a debugger such as gdb is to allow you to see what is going on "inside" another program while it executes - or what another program was doing at the moment it crashed. gdb can do four main kinds of things (plus other things in support of these) to help you catch bugs in the act: - Start your program, specifying anything that might affect its behavior. - Make your program stop on specified conditions. - Examine what has happened, when your program has stopped. - Change things in your program, so you can experiment with correcting the effects of one bug and go on to learn about another.

This manual attempts to be a full description of Emacs Lisp. This manual presumes considerable familiarity with the use of Emacs for editing. Most of the GNU Emacs text editor is written in the programming language called Emacs Lisp. You can write new code in Emacs Lisp and install it as an extension to the editor. However, Emacs Lisp is more than a mere extension language; it is a full computer programming language in its own right. You can use it as you would any other programming language. Generally speaking, the earlier chapters describe features of Emacs Lisp that have counterparts in many programming languages, and later chapters describe features that are peculiar to Emacs Lisp or relate specically to editing. This is edition 3.1 of the GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual, corresponding to Emacs version 25.2. This manual is available online for free at gnu.org. This manual is printed in grayscale.
