I can't say when it will be done, but I can give you an issue number :)

Hi Adrian and friends, I need to re-parse some input, starting at an offset and an initial state. I know I can just set "p" to the offset and "cs" to the state, however, my states are meaningful outside of the parser. My program is a language parser for syntax highlighting, so I need int constants that represent the type of tokens founds. I need some way of saying, "parse this char[] at offset X using initial token type LITERAL_CHAR". I don't care if the LITERAL_CHAR constant is the same as the parser state, but I need some way of setting "cs" to a specific machine name or label. I came across a post on the mailing list from 2007 saying, "For a really long time now I've been meaning to implement a new feature which should help you out. %% write entry <machine_or_label>;". This would work nicely I think. I guess it has been a *really* really long time now, eh? :D Is there any chance that this feature could be implemented soonly? Thanks! -Nate PS Ragel is so awesome! :) _______________________________________________ ragel-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.complang.org/mailman/listinfo/ragel-users
