Re: Flex vs. POSIX 1003.2-1992 repeat operator {} precedence

[Casey Leedom]

  Thanks to everyone who helped out in the discussion of this issue.  I've
submitted a patch to Will Estes and John Millaway which fixes the problem.
Because of compatibility concerns the current flex repeat operator
precedence is the default behavior.  The AT&T and POSIX lex repeat operator
behavior is selected by either specifying ``-l (--lex-compat)'' or a new
option ``-X (--posix-compat)''.  Will wanted a new option just in case we
found any future POSIX compliance issues.
