I don't think we care enough about performance of most of the scanners to make them all backup-free, so -1 to that idea. We could possibly replace the command line switches with %option entries in the files themselves. But I think the reason we haven't done so for -b is that the Makefile still needs to know about it so as to know what to do with the lex.backup output file. regards, tom lane
