[Flex-help] Will the C++ scanner be removed?

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

The following comment is output from either of the' flex source' 
(with %option c++) command or the 'flex++ source' command. Is this 
comment valid? Will you be removing the C++ scanner?


>     /* The c++ scanner is a mess. The FlexLexer.h header file relies on the
>      * following macro. This is required in order to pass the c++-multiple-scanners
>      * test in the regression suite. We get reports that it breaks inheritance.
>      * We will address this in a future release of flex, or omit the C++ scanner
>      * altogether.
