[Flex-help] Section 18 C++ compilation of C code incorrect

[Arthur S. <asc...@at...>]

Section 18


"The first way is to simply compile a scanner generated by flex 

using a C++ compiler instead of a C compiler.  You should not 

encounter any compilation errors (see Reporting Bugs)."


Compilation errors occur because flex input must be changed to
flex yyinput. Change the manual, the C code must be altered
to use yyinput() instead of input(). The flex statement which
causes this condition is given below.


#ifdef __cplusplus
    static int yyinput (void)
#else
    static int input  (void)
#endif
