RE: C++: Pointer to non-const std::string in position and location should be a pointer to const std::string

[Morales Cayuela, Victor (NSB - CN/Hangzhou)]

Hello Akim, Yuriy,

I did some experiments with the pull parser but I don't have any useful draft 
code I can give you, sorry for that.
Anyway, if I may help you somehow, let me know.

Victor

The official home of Bison is on Savannah 
(https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/bison/).  The official repo is here: 
https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=bison.

I have a personal fork on GitHub which some people find useful to track: 
https://github.com/akimd/bison.

With joy and passion.

More seriously: contributors must sign disclaimers to the FSF, so that there 
would never be legal disputes on the license of the code.  Contributors submit 
patches on bison-patches@gnu.org, and maintainers (that would be me mostly) 
comment the proposal, ask for changes, etc.

Part of this can happen as a PR on my repo, but eventually, things must be made 
public in bison-patches@gnu.org.

There's some information about this process in README-hacking 
(https://github.com/akimd/bison/blob/master/README-hacking.md).

There's a number of things TODO 
(https://github.com/akimd/bison/blob/master/TODO).  C++ push is quite high on 
the wish list.
