- I experienced a problem with Lex that was pretty baffling. I had just upgraded
- to 3.2.2 and was making some changes to some diagnostic programs written with
- Lex and Yacc. When I tried to 'make' the program, lex complained about the
- last character in the scanner.l file, not matter what it was. For instance, I
- had some utility functions at the bottom of the Lex file and it kept
- complaining about the closing } in the final function. It still produces a
- lex.yy.c file, excluding the character that it was complaining about. I
- finally just went into the lex.yy.c file and put the closing brace in by hand.
- Worked fine. I've since gotten a fix from Austin for this, but what a pain in
- the ass!!!
