Re: [Flex-devel] Push-lexer

[Mighty Jo <mig...@gm...>]

Hi, Jérôme!

I'm not a maintainer, but they are pretty cool about considering pull
requests. Add tests for any new functionality and be sure your fork passes
'make distcheck' when your tree has been cleaned with 'git clean -xdf'.

If I may ask a silly question: Have you looked at the "interactive" scanner
option? It's meant for reading from character devices. The differences are
mostly invisible to the caller of yylex().

I don't remember whether the interactive scanner yields or blocks when the
input device is empty.

Cheers!
Joe
