how to get YY_CURRENT_BUFFER when using %option reentrant

[henrik . sorensen]

Hi List,

I am in the process of switching my flex scanner to a reentrant scanner.

In a sub function, that used the macro YY_CURRENT_BUFFER, how can I do this 
when using a reentrant scanner ?

The compiler complains over
../../gcc-src/gcc-4.2-20060415/gcc/pl1/pl1-scanner.l: In 
function 'stackCurrentBuffer':
../../gcc-src/gcc-4.2-20060415/gcc/pl1/pl1-scanner.l:1208: error: 'yyg' 
undeclared (first use in this function)
../../gcc-src/gcc-4.2-20060415/gcc/pl1/pl1-scanner.l:1208: error: (Each 
undeclared identifier is reported only once
../../gcc-src/gcc-4.2-20060415/gcc/pl1/pl1-scanner.l:1208: error: for each 
function it appears in.)

I could of course cheat and define yyg myself as
struct yyguts_t * yyg = (struct yyguts_t*)yyscanner;

but is there not another way to get the YY_CURRENT_BUFFER ?

The version before the conversion to reentrant can be found in the source 
forge cvs:

thanks for your help
