Leading zeroes in rational numbers not handled consistently

[jodavies]

Something I noticed while writing a script to convert floats (in fortran and latex code) to FORM-readable expressions. I work around this by stripping the leading zeroes off, but I thought I would mention it here:

Leading zeroes in rational numbers produce an error when followed by more than a single digit.

Local test1 = 0001;
Local test2 = 00001;
Local test3 = 00010;
Local test4 = 00011;

Print +s;
.end

gives

    Local test1 = 0001;
    Local test2 = 00001;
    Local test3 = 00010;
test.frm Line 3 --> Internal error in code generator. Unknown object: 10
    Local test4 = 00011;
test.frm Line 4 --> Internal error in code generator. Unknown object: 11

It could be useful for the compiler to interpret float representations as rationals automatically, but that is a side issue.

Hi Josh,

Now leading zeros seem to be OK for the FORM tokenizer (fixed in c7ace14 and 9720d7f).

This has fixed my test cases, and make check works fine with 9720d7f .

Thanks!
