I couldn't get 0.9.x to produce output when I was writing sa-compile. 0.10.x worked for me, but 0.11.x core dumps for some people: bug 5435. The re2c author has recommended 0.12.0: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1708378&group_id=96864&atid=616200 Actually i highly suggest you use cvs version of either 0.12.0 (unreleased) or even HEAD. It appears the generated code is wrong using the older re2c versions. I discoverd this while fixing the crash. So in 0.12.0 and HEAD both issues are resolved. --j.
