Re: Parsing included files

Hi Ervin,

according to the lex&yacc manual, there should be a yy_create_buffer called
at the beginning, corresponding to the yy_delete_buffer.
I don't see it in your code.

the example is here:
      https://github.com/mbbill/flexbison/blob/master/flexbison/fb2-3.l

Regards.
