Re: Patches for flex 2.5.25 C compatibility and lint compatibility

Hi,
I need help.... 

Quoting Bruce Lilly <address@hidden>:

> Attached are two patches for flex 2.5.25.
> 
> compat.patch addresses C type issues related to vaious revisions
> of ANSI C and K&R C.  Both "long long" and int64_t (and uint64_t)
> were introduced with C99, so appropriate typedefs are used in the
> C99 preprocessor branch in flexint.h.  The typedefs were removed
> from the non-64-bit, non-C++ branch since "long long" is an error
> prior to C99.
>

> which is recognized by lint and lclint (though the latter squawks
> about it not being the lclint proprietary format).

> Both patches have been tested on GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.0/gcc 2.95.3) and
> UWIN 3.1 (MSVC++ 6.0 SP5).
