Cool! Is this meant as a flex drop-in replacement? iirc (we) PathScale have sent patches to upstream Flex before and I don't remember if they were responsive or not. If you are 1:1 compatible, have you tried to replace the system flex and rebuild world or how extensively has this been validated? You may find the BSD community to be interested and empathetic if it can help them. Further, if you are willing to dirty your hands and trash talk a bit - maybe get the main editor from Phoronix to help you promote it. Anything that resembles tabloid click-bait like news is always of interest over there :D Cheers, ./C On Tue, Mar 28, 2017 at 7:58 AM, Robert van Engelen <ravengelen@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm pleased to share with this excellent compilers group that RE/flex 0.9.18 > is released, moving the software out of beta into stable/production status. ... > > A complete redesign for C++ was best, from the ground-up, based on C++ best > practices.
