bug#16416: 24.3; [SMIE] Assertion failure in smie-prec2->grammar

[Raphaël Cauderlier]

Hello,

I started emacs with emacs -Q and evaled the following file with
load-file:

-----
(require 'smie)
(smie-prec2->grammar (smie-bnf->prec2 '((name) (l ("a" name)))))
-----

This raised the following error message:

(cl-assertion-failed (numberp (car cons)))

where I expected a SMIE grammar to be returned without error message.
The inner function smie-bnf->prec2 doesn't fail and the documentation
string for the outter function smie-prec2->grammar indicates that it's
argument could be a value returned by smie-bnf->prec2:

-----
smie-prec2->grammar is a compiled Lisp function in `smie.el'.

(smie-prec2->grammar PREC2)

Take a 2D precedence table and turn it into an alist of precedence levels.
PREC2 is a table as returned by `smie-precs->prec2' or
`smie-bnf->prec2'.
-----

I hope I gave you enough information to reproduce this issue.  I'm not
very familiar with the Lisp Debugger so I don't know how to get a
backtrace from a cl-assertion-failed.

Have a nice day!
