What is the easiest way to write a re-entrant scanner using flex?
The C++ mode provides reentrancy, but not parsing from a string
(yy_scan_buffer) which I need.


What is best, to generate a C scanner, and hack the generated code
to make it re-entrant, or generate a C++ scanner, and retrofit the code
for yy_scan_buffer?


Please cc any suggestions to me at amnonc@mercury.co.il
