Re: [Opencxx-users] OpenC++ with MSVC

[Dr G. <drg...@gm...>]

Ok Im building the two occ core libs in visual studio - but i had to
drop down to cygwin to build the ptree-generated file.
anyway im finding an odd problem:

if I code -

    Opencxx::ProgramString* ps = new Opencxx::ProgramString;
    *ps << "{}";

    Opencxx::Program* program = ps;

    Lex lexer(program);
    Parser parser(&lexer, errorLog);
    
    // parse tree
    Ptree* result;
    parser.rDefinition(result);



no matter what i place into the source string its getting into an
infinite loop inside the Lex ctor

    do
    {
        kind = ReadToken(pos, len);
        tokens_.push_back(Token(kind, pos, len));
    }
    while (kind);

when ReadToken hits an end of string (0 terminator) its just backing
up and returning the last character....


am i doing something wrong ?
