> Why should a writer of a C scanner care? The input() function they use is the same as yyinout(), just using a different name.
This change broke e.g. the Small Device C Compiler (SDCC, in the sdcc Debian package): When compiling a file containing an unterminated string literal, SDCC compiled using flex 2.5.4 gives an error mesagge. SDCC compiled using SDCC 2.6.4 hangs (it gets into an endless loop looking for the end of the string literal, as it never gets an " or EOF from input()). Philipp
