Hi List,

Just wondering how you are using YY_CURRENT_BUFFER in a reentrant scanner.

When using the %option reentrant, I have to do the following hack to use the 
YY_CURRENT_BUFFER in a function that only takes the yyscan_t yyscanner as 
parameter.


struct yyguts_t * yyg = (struct yyguts_t*)yyscanner; /* <== HACK HACK */

yy_flush_buffer((YY_CURRENT_BUFFER),yyscanner);


Is there anyother way, that doesnt require the yyg variable ?


thanks for your help
Henrik
