I'm not an expert on these tools, so maybe this is a silly message, but the recently posted Ada Yacc/lex stuff leaves me puzzled. Just a couple of points (a) I don't see how it handles the substitute characters (b) It seems to allow adjacent underscores in numbers and identifiers, and even leading underscores in identifiers (c) I can't see how it distinguishes attributes from character literals - consider for instance "F()'FIRST", or worse, "F()'X'FIRST", where 'X is an implementation-defined attribute Can anyone help?
