Specification example will no longer compile #4

Closed louwers closed 7 years ago

louwers commented 7 years ago

The specification example given in the flexc++input man page no longer compiles. Presumably because the mini-scanners are now in a strongly typed enum. Hence if I am not mistaken

"/*"            begin(comment);

<comment>.|\n   // ignore
<comment>"*/"   begin(INITIAL);

needs to become

"/*"            begin(StartCondition__::comment);

<comment>.|\n   // ignore
<comment>"*/"   begin(StartCondition__::INITIAL);

Which is quite ugly, but that is another topic.

Dear Bart, you wrote:

You're right. Something else to fix. Thanks.

:-) There's no accounting for taste...

Fortunately you don't have to look at it constantly :-)

Very minor issue but there's also a stray ) character at the end of that that section.

Closing this!
