* c-exp.y, m2-exp.y (yyreds, yytoks): Remap like other yy* names.
* c-exp.y, m2-exp.y (YYDEBUG): Define if MAINTENANCE_CMDS is defined and YYDEBUG is not already defined. * c-exp.y (strncmp): Replace throughout with STREQN, missed them during the previous replacements. * printcmd.c (_initialize_printcmd): Update internal documentation for "set" command to note that the assignment syntax is language dependent. **** start-sanitize-chill **** * ch-exp.y (yyreds, yytoks): Remap like other yy* names. * ch-exp.y (YYDEBUG): Define if MAINTENANCE_CMDS is defined and YYDEBUG is not already defined. * ch-exp.y (GDB_REGNAME, GDB_LAST, GDB_VARIABLE, GDB_ASSIGNMENT, single_assignment_action): New terminals and nonterminal for gdb extensions to chill expression grammer. * ch-exp.y (match_dollar_tokens): Lexer routine to match all tokens that start with '$' (register names, convenience vars, etc). * ch-exp.y (tokentab2): Add GDB_ASSIGNMENT. * ch-exp.y (yylex): Call match_dollar_tokens. **** end-sanitize-chill ****
