Disable #line markers in bison output on Windows

• Component: WebCore Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Konstantin Tokarev]

New bison versions since 3.0 have bug that causes unescaped paths to be printed in #line directives. On Windows CMake passes absolute paths to bison that have backslashes in them, leading to compiler errors or warnings because of unrecognized escape sequences.

Here's how I would write it:

    my @noLines = ();
    push @noLines, "--no-lines" if $^O eq "MSWin32"; # Work around bug in bison >= 3.0 on Windows where it puts backslashes into #line directives.
    system($bison, @noLines, "-d", "-p", $symbolsPrefix, $grammarFilePath, "-o", "$fileBase.cpp") == 0 or die;

What about 

  my @bisonCmd = ($bison, "-d", "-p", $symbolsPrefix, $grammarFilePath, "-o", $fileBase.cpp);
  push @bisonCmd, "--no-lines" if $^O eq "MSWin32"; # Work around bug in bison >= 3.0 on Windows where it puts backslashes into #line directives.
  system(@bisonCmd) == 0 or die;

?

That seems fine. I would name it @bisonCommand, without abbreviating the word, though.

Need quotes around "$fileBase.cpp".
