[gobo-eiffel-develop] YY_SCANNER_SKELETON.yy_content_area could be ABSTRACT_SPECIAL ?

[Berend de B. <be...@po...>]

Hi All,

A recent change in YY_COMPRESSED_SCANNER_SKELETON requires that
yy_content_area be set. Unfortunately I relied on the fact you didn't
need to set it, so I could avoid a large memory copy.

I'm not yet sure what to do. What I really need is a SPECIAL with a
valid base_address, but can I rely on ISE Eiffel not to move this? I'm
afraid I can't.

Another solution is if my C malloc wrapper (STDC_BUFFER) implements
ABSTRACT_SPECIAL, so that would require
YY_SCANNER_SKELETON.yy_content_area to be changed to use
ABSTRACT_SPECIAL.

Any thoughts?

So the goal is to run the scanner/parser straight from a malloc
buffer, which used to work.
