This page needs a few things, IMHO:
Agreeing with the above, I believe more explanation of where it stands in the whole perspective of the parsing process. It says it is used along with flex, but what role to each play with each other.

This current article states that "GCC" once used Bison but later switched. However, the provided reference (a mailing list post made before the work even happened) only refers GCC's C++ front-end and specifically states that (at the time) they had no intention of replacing the C parser.
I haven't taken the time to research whether or not Bison was replaced wholesale or just for C++. However, What "GCC" actually refers to should probably be clarified and matched with a more appropriate reference. -- Craigbarnes85 ( talk) 09:43, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
In the list of applications using Bison, I removed this from the entry about Bash:
I guess this is referring to distributing Bash's source code. I.e. Bash probably distributes the C files generated by Bison so that others can recompile Bash without having to have a compatible version of Bison installed. (This is in addition to Bash distributing the parser source code that gets fed into Bison, as required by the GPL.)
AFAIK, this is common practice, so it should be a general comment in the article rather than just being attached to Bash. I'll do that now. Just wanted to leave a note in case I'd misunderstood. Can someone reply to say I've got this right/wrong? Gronky ( talk) 23:19, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
A quick check of bash 4.1's source shows that while it is distributed with parse.c and parse.h generated by bison, it is not using any bison-specific features. So the "use" is only superficial (and unless commented on more explicitly, the tie-in can be removed). TEDickey ( talk) 23:25, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

...and informations about the initial author of this tool. You could do this in a history section - which would be cool. It´s an important open source tool helping programmers around the world for decades and it's still being used. It's author demands to be listet in this encyclopedia. 91.89.26.15 ( talk) 23:18, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
