Parsing included files

Hi there,

I ran into a problem: the language to be analyzed has a speciel
expression, eg:

include foo.conf

which means "find and open the file foo.conf, and parse it!".

Here is how I solve that:

in my lexer:

<INITIAL>include[ \t]+[0-9A-Za-z_\/\.\-\*\:]+ { push_sym(); handle_include((const char *)yytext); return T_INCLUDE_DIRECTIVE_WITH_PATH; }

in the parser:

config_include:
      T_INCLUDE_DIRECTIVE_WITH_PATH    { free($1); }
;

the push_sym():

void push_sym() {
    yylval.s = strdup(yytext);
    if (yylval.s[strlen(yytext)-1] == '\n') {
        yylval.s[strlen(yytext)-1] = '\0';
    }
}

the handle_include() does a split by space, to get the filename,
and call open_and_parse(char * fname);

There is a speciel function which opens the input file, and runs
the parser:

int file_inclusion_level = 0;	// a global variable to count the inclusion depth

int open_and_parse(char * fname) {

    FILE *fp;
    ...
    YY_BUFFER_STATE bufftemp = NULL;

    ...

    if(fp = fopen(...)) {
        file_inclusion_level++;

        if (file_inclusion_level == 1) {
            yy_scan_string(inputbuff);
        }

        if (file_inclusion_level > 1) {
            bufftemp = YY_CURRENT_BUFFER;
            yy_scan_string(inputbuff);
        }

        yyparse();

        if (file_inclusion_level > 1) {
            yy_delete_buffer(YY_CURRENT_BUFFER);
            yy_switch_to_buffer(bufftemp);
        }

        fclose(fp);
        file_inclusion_level--;
        yy_flex_destroy();
    }


When I run the compiled code, I got a fault:

malloc_consolidate(): invalid chunk size
Aborted


There is a "main" config file with name test_inc_01.conf, which hase two lines:

include test_inc_02.conf
include test_inc_03.conf

Both files have 2 lines:

include test_inc_21.conf
include test_inc_22.conf

and 

include test_inc_31.conf
include test_inc_32.conf

All 4 files have just a simple config line with few tokens. The
parser works as well when I'm just parsing the files with
"relevant" content. But if I pass the test_inc_02.conf (which
have 2 relevant files - see above), the malloc_consolidate()
comes again.


What's the correct way to handle of "include" methods?


Thanks,
