Lex and Yacc C++-style extensions not supported #4771

Closed TheOnlyMrCat closed 4 years ago

TheOnlyMrCat commented 4 years ago

Problem Description

Linguist supports Lex and Yacc, which typically have the .l and .y extensions. This is fine when using them normally, but when paired with Automake, C++ lexers and parsers require C++-style extensions, such as .ll, .lpp, .lxx, or l++ for Lex, and likewise for Yacc

In languages.yml, Yacc already allows .yy, and .ll is LLVM. None of the other extensions are present.

As linguist is community developed, support isn't going to arrive until someone familiar with the languages submits a PR. If you're familiar with these languages, please review CONTRIBUTING.md and feel free to submit a PR if the usage requirements are met.
