Implicit type conversion warnings #196

While building re2c from source (v1.0.2) I've noticed that there are a couple of type conversion warnings popping out during the build process. Here are the warnings:

Warning #1:

rc/ast/parser.cc: In function ‘int yyparse(re2c::context_t&)’:
src/ast/parser.cc:1128:10: warning: conversion to ‘yytype_int16 {aka short int}’ from ‘int’ may alter its value [-Wconversion]
   *yyssp = yystate;
          ^

Here's a proposal to fix this warning, by changing the type of yystate (and yyn) to yytype_int16.
patch1.txt

Warning #2:

src/ast/parser.cc:1133:40: warning: conversion to ‘long unsigned int’ from ‘long int’ may change the sign of the result [-Wsign-conversion]
       YYSIZE_T yysize = yyssp - yyss + 1;

This warning, OTOH, may require some attention, as YYSIZE_T is an unsigned integer type but I believe there are no assurances that the result of (yyssp-yyss + 1) is always positive.

Hi Rui,

Thanks for the patch, but parser.cc is a bison-generated file, so fixing the warnings requires fixing bison.

I've seen these warnings ever since I enabled -Wconversion and -Wsign-conversion options, and that was 2 years ago. The majority of bison users either build without these warnings, or just ignore them. I reported this to bison mailing list and Akim Demaille replied that the conversion is safe, but he will address the warning at some point (or I am welcome to send a patch).

2.0 (2020-07-20)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Added new code generation backend for Go and a new ``re2go`` program
  (`#272 <https://github.com/skvadrik/re2c/issues/272>`_: Go support).
  Added option ``--lang <c | go>``.

    that allow to express fixed tags in terms of generic API.
  + Added configurations ``re2c:api:style`` and ``re2c:api:sigil``.
  + Added named placeholders in interpolated configuration strings.

- Changes in reuse mode (``-r, --reuse`` option):

  + Do not reset API-related configurations in each `use:re2c` block
    (`#291 <https://github.com/skvadrik/re2c/issues/291>`_:
    Defines in rules block are not propagated to use blocks).
  + Use block-local options instead of last block options.
  + Do not accumulate options from rules/reuse blocks in whole-program options.
  + Generate non-overlapping YYFILL labels for reuse blocks.

  + Generate condition switch in every re2c block
    (`#295 <https://github.com/skvadrik/re2c/issues/295>`_:
    Condition switch generated for only one lexer per file).

- Changes in the generated labels:

  + Use ``yyeof`` label prefix instead of ``yyeofrule``.
  + Use ``yyfill`` label prefix instead of ``yyFillLabel``.
  + Decouple start label and initial label (affects label numbering).

- Removed undocumented configuration ``re2c:flags:o``, ``re2c:flags:output``.

- Changes in ``re2c:flags:t``, ``re2c:flags:type-header`` configuration:
  filename is now relative to the output file directory.

- Added option ``--case-ranges`` and configuration ``re2c:flags:case-ranges``.

- Extended fixed tags optimization for the case of fixed-counter repetition.

- Fixed bugs related to EOF rule:

  + `#276 <https://github.com/skvadrik/re2c/issues/276>`_:
    Example 01_fill.re in docs is broken
  + `#280 <https://github.com/skvadrik/re2c/issues/280>`_:
    EOF rules with multiple blocks
  + `#284 <https://github.com/skvadrik/re2c/issues/284>`_:
    mismatched YYBACKUP and YYRESTORE
    (Add missing fallback states with EOF rule)

- Fixed miscellaneous bugs:

  + `#286 <https://github.com/skvadrik/re2c/issues/286>`_:
    Incorrect submatch values with fixed-length trailing context.
  + `#297 <https://github.com/skvadrik/re2c/issues/297>`_:
    configure error on ubuntu 18.04 / cmake 3.10

- Changed bootstrap process (require explicit configuration flags and a path to
  re2c executable to regenerate the lexers).

- Added internal options ``--posix-prectable <naive | complex>``.

- Added debug option ``--dump-dfa-tree``.

- Major revision of the paper "Efficient POSIX submatch extraction on NFA".
