This is not a bug, but I have a yacc/lex pair that I would like to
change to bison/flex.  I use yyleng (defined as extern) in my parser
which should be defined by lex.  Is there some equivalent way to
get the length of a token recognized by my lexical analyzer from
flex.

The particular part of the code is:

extern yyleng;
	.
	.
	.
$$ = strcpy(malloc(yyleng+1),yytext);
	.
	.
	.

Thanks,

Steven Berson
