Just curious, but why did you need to manually apply my patch? Did it not work with the patch command? The manual changes to conf_lexer.lxx were OK, despite lots of changes to the indentation which now make it harder to read (remember standard tab stops are 8 spaces), but you missed one of my changes to conf_parser.yxx, which is likely to break things.
No, it did not work. I had all the changes rejected. I tried to apply it against the latest CVS code. That's probably why I stuffed things up. However, I am sorry about the indentation problem, I had 4 spaces set.
It would be a shame to release yet another beta release and still not have these problems fixed! Proper error handling has been lacking for a long time, and many users have been confused by the config parser's cryptic error messages. This will at least tell them what file to look at, and the proper line number when using includes. The problem with files then end without a newline has caught many people too.
OK. I perfectly agree with you. That's why I asked people's opinion and I rely on yours very much.
this patch to go into b6, but it would be a good idea if a few other developers tested it first, as I asked back in April. All I can say is it works for me (but I tested it using flex 2.5.4a, and only on RH 9).
You are right. I did not have a chance to try it before. However, tomorrow I will regenerate the conf_parser.cxx file and commit the changes, and prepare the new release tarball. If everything is fine, I will release 3.2.0b6 on friday morning Central Europe Time. Sounds good?
Ciao and thanks,
-Gabriele
