Oh sorry I misunderstood. I get it now. Thanks for the report.

HI Adrian,
I wasn't meaning to suggest that my test case was valid Ragel input. I
sent the repro because the Ragel source contains this comment where
this error message is generated:
/* Machine failed before finding a token. I'm not yet sure if this
* is reachable. */
scan_error() << "scanner error" << endl;
exit(1);
Since you weren't sure whether this error is reachable, I thought it
would be useful to you to know that it is indeed reachable, and to
have a repro for how it can be reached.
Also, the error message "scanner error" isn't a very useful
diagnostic; I was hoping that a repro would make it easier to emit an
error message that helps the user know what they did wrong.
It also refers to a source location that doesn't actually exist
(test.rl:2:10) -- in my test input, line 2 only has 7 columns.
Hope this is helpful,
Josh

I was trying out Ragel for the first time today and run into the
somewhat perplexing error message "scanner error".
Since the code contains a comment questioning whether this error is
reachable, I wanted to give you a repro that reaches it -- here's my
reduced test case:
%%machine m;
%%write
%%write
$ ragel -C -o test.out test.rl
test.rl:2:10: scanner error
This repro is for 6.8 (git appears to be 6.7 -- source repo is older?)
