Package: flex Version: 2.5.31-34 Tags: patch upstream flex 2.5.31-34 generates a C file that does not conform to the C standard, because the code invokes gram_wrap() even though the gram_wrap macro expects an argument.
This bug is also present in Debian stable, and its presence broke Bison 2.1 because I used Debian stable flex to build Bison. The bug's effect is described in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2004-02/msg00026.html>; that message is for Bison 1.875 but the same problem occurs in the Bison 2.1 distribution because of the bug in flex 2.5.31-31. (I used flex 2.5.31-31 to generate both Bison 1.875 and Bison 2.1.) I see from <http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/flex/flex_2.5.31-34.diff.gz> that the file flex-2.5.31/{arch}/flex/flex--debian/flex--debian--2.5/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/patch-log/patch-2 logs the presence of the bug, but there isn't any patch installed. I suspect the patch got lost somehow so I'm filing this bug report.
