Re: C++ token move constructors/assignment with LALR

[Akim Demaille]

Anthony,

Thanks for the suggestion, the patience, and for the patch.  I'm installing the 
following edited version of your commit.  It is "trivial" enough to not need 
FSF paperwork.

These functions are not C++ standard, they participate in Bison's effort to 
have some form of move semantics in C98.

Cheers!
