For your convenience, I’ve made a pull request for these changes against master (which would likely prevent at least one merge conflict vs. merging the 5.5-based pull request into master): https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/685 I would point out that both pull requests only add Bison 3.x support; they don’t prevent Bison 2.x from working, so unless you have another reason for wanting to remove Bison 2.x support, this change doesn’t require dropping it. (I wouldn’t necessarily advocate dropping Bison 2.x support since we’re not actually using any Bison 3-specific features.). > Julien Pauli -John
