The YY_INPUT macro is then defined as (excerpt): #define YY_INPUT(buf,result,max_size) \ errno=0; \ while ( (result = read( fileno(yyin), (char *) buf, max_size )) < 0 ) \ { \ if( errno != EINTR) \ while used as: YY_INPUT( (&YY_CURRENT_BUFFER_LVALUE->yy_ch_buf[number_to_move]), yyg->yy_n_chars, num_to_read ); The difference between code generated by version 2.3.39 and 2.3.35 (from wheezy) is that yy_n_chars has now type yy_size_t, while in code generated by previous version had type int. The problem doesn't affect code generated with `%option noread` as then YY_INPUT uses fread() function instead of read(); fread() returns unsigned type. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
