There is a rule like this in scan.l

uescapefail
("-"|[uU][eE][sS][cC][aA][pP][eE]{whitespace}*"-"|[uU][eE][sS][cC][aA][pP][eE]{whitespace}*{quote}[^']|[uU][eE][sS][cC][aA][pP][eE]{whitespace}*{quote}|[uU][eE][sS][cC][aA][pP][eE]{whitespace}*|[uU][eE][sS][cC][aA][pP]|[uU][eE][sS][cC][aA]|[uU][eE][sS][cC]|[uU][eE][sS]|[uU][eE]|[uU])


I think this should be corrected to


uescapefail
("-"|[uU][eE][sS][cC][aA][pP][eE]{space}*"-"|[uU][eE][sS][cC][aA][pP][eE]{space}*{quote}[^']|[uU][eE][sS][cC][aA][pP][eE]{space}*{quote}|[uU][eE][sS][cC][aA][pP][eE]{space}*|[uU][eE][sS][cC][aA][pP]|[uU][eE][sS][cC][aA]|[uU][eE][sS][cC]|[uU][eE][sS]|[uU][eE]|[uU])


I have replaced whitespace with space. This has to be done because
whitespace allows comments. This would cause conflict between some of the
alternatives. I found this, while trying to make this rule work with LL(1).
Just thought, it might be useful.

Thanks,
Gokul.
