Message-ID: Date: 21 Jun 91 07:14:37 GMT Sender: news@laas.laas.fr Distribution: comp Organization: LAAS-CNRS France Lines: 21 I recently discovered that the version of Lex I am using has a limit on the size of yylex (200). lex did not even report the problem... and it took me a while to discover this limit. Anyway, I was just wondering if flex has a similar limit or is dynamically allocated... (although I am not sure how this can be done without setting somewhere some kind of buffer limit...) The reason I want such big yylex, is that I am writing a parser which allow string tokens over more than one line.... string (\"[^\"]*\") May be , there is a trick I do not know to parse that (using yymore??...). (Please, answer by mail as I do not read these newsgroups on a regular basis) -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Francois Felix INGRAND "Read my Lisp...
