-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I've seen that a lot of release critical errors come from the new flex 2.5.xx version in unstable. Here are some of the more common pitfalls: 1) These strings are not allowed in any flex input files, not even in comments: "m4_" "[[" "]]" So if you have x[i[j]] in your C code, flex will fail! Solution: dont use m4_ prefix and put a space between [[ and ]] see flex.info, node "M4 Dependency" for more info 2) yylineno is redefined (eg int yylineno = 0;) Solution: Rename this variable to something else, eg mylineno. Or use the internal line counting of flex with "%options yylineno" and "int lineno() const" for accessing. 3) yytext_ptr is undefined You use unput() after the second %% in your lexer file. This is not possible anymore due to a bug in flex. See http://bugs.debian.org/189332 for more info. Solution: move the unput() usage in the rules or header section (ie between or above the two %%). Or wait until the flex people fix this :) Cheers, Bastian - -- Zwei Kerzen: "Was machst Du heute abend?" -- "Ich glaube ich gehe aus." -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+u8FVeBwlBDLsbz4RAg5ZAJ4ourO6R61wrKxjPYr10fVkQlDwrgCgrh/S OSQsDRqfsWkzSJCqTnAypXI= =hZab -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
