-+2012-07-30  Alexis Menard  <alexis.menard@openbossa.org>
-+
-+        Build fix with newer bison 2.6.
-+        https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92264
-+
-+        Reviewed by Adam Barth.
-+
-+        As stated in http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/manual/html_node/Table-of-Symbols.html
-+        YYLEX_PARAM and YYPARSE_PARAM are depecreated since version 1.875. So far all Mac OS
-+        version I had access to as well as recent Linux runs at least version 2.3 so it's safe
-+        to use the replacement of these deprecated macros in favor of %lex-param and %parse-param.
-+        As announced http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2012-07/msg00011.html with the release
-+        of version 2.6 YYLEX_PARAM and YYPARSE_PARAM are not supported anymore.
-+
-+        No new tests : build fix and the patch should not trigger any regressions
-+
-+        * css/CSSGrammar.y:
-+        * css/CSSParser.cpp:
-+        * xml/XPathGrammar.y: Refactored a bit to not use an intermediate PARSER define.
-+        * xml/XPathParser.cpp: bison 2.6 declare xpathyyparse in the .h file now, i.e. XPathGrammar.h
-+        therefore including this file within the namespace {} declarations leads to xpathyyparse being
-+        defined part of WebCore::XPath namespaces but the actual implementation of xpathyyparse is in XPathGrammar.cpp
-+        (generated) and not implemented within the WebCore::XPath so it lead to linking issues. Last, XPathGrammar.h needs 
-+        to be included after the other includes as it uses some XPath types. It breaks the style but CSSParser.cpp is doing the same.
