 The Concepts of Bison
 *********************
 
    This chapter introduces many of the basic concepts without which the
 details of Bison will not make sense.  If you do not already know how to
 use Bison or Yacc, we suggest you start by reading this chapter
 carefully.

 
* Language and Grammar  Languages and context-free grammars,
                             as mathematical ideas.
* Grammar in Bison  How we represent grammars for Bison's sake.
* Semantic Values   Each token or syntactic grouping can have
                         a semantic value (the value of an integer,
                         the name of an identifier, etc.).
* Semantic Actions  Each rule can have an action containing C code.
* Bison Parser      What are Bison's input and output,
                         how is the output used?
* Stages            Stages in writing and running Bison grammars.
* Grammar Layout    Overall structure of a Bison grammar file.
