Package: cscope
Version: 15.4-2
Severity: normal
I just tried to have cscope create an index of all of /usr/include,
and it failed, printing a short error:
input in flex scanner failed
... then quitting. There is no switch to have it be more verbose, nor
does it indicate what file caused the flex scanner to conk out. IMO,
that's a bug.
I ran it under "strace" and found that it bombed in one of the "gocr"
headers. So, either there's an error in those headers, or "cscope"'s
lexer is broken in some way. I suggest you contact that maintainer,
and do some experiments to isolate the problem. (TIA)
The workaround was to run:
cd /usr/include
find -type f | sed -e 's,\./,,' > cscope.files
$EDITOR cscope.files
# Delete the "gocr" headers; I could have used a grep -v gocr maybe.
cscope -q -R -u -k -b # YMMV; I've not tested that index.
Now back to my regularly scheduled CS homework.

It's been about 3 months since my last message and I did not hear
anything from the original reporter. So I'm closing this bug for now as
I could not reproduce it with a recent version of cscope.
Please feel free to reopen the report if you feel the bug still exists.
Cheers, Tobias
