Hi Tom, in the meson unconference session you'd spotted flex flags for psqlscanslash.l (I think) being "hardcoded". As far as I can tell that's largely just copied from the Makefile):
src/backend/parser/Makefile:scan.c: FLEXFLAGS = -CF -p -p src/backend/utils/adt/Makefile:jsonpath_scan.c: FLEXFLAGS = -CF -p -p src/bin/psql/Makefile:psqlscanslash.c: FLEXFLAGS = -Cfe -p -p src/fe_utils/Makefile:psqlscan.c: FLEXFLAGS = -Cfe -p -p note that it's not even FLEXFLAGS += or such. I honestly don't know enough about the various flex flags to judge what a better approach would be? Looks like these flags are case specific? Perhaps we could group them, i.e. have centrally defined "do compress" "don't compress" flex flags? Greetings, Andres Freund
