Re: Memory leak in flex generated file

Just so we're clear. There is no memory leak in the flex generated
scanner. There used to be a leak. I fixed it years ago. Don't take my
word for it, here's the code:


/* yylex_destroy is for both reentrant and non-reentrant scanners. */
int yylex_destroy (void)
{
        /* Pop the buffer stack, destroying each element. */
        while (YY_CURRENT_BUFFER){
                yy_delete_buffer (YY_CURRENT_BUFFER );
                YY_CURRENT_BUFFER_LVALUE = NULL;
                yypop_buffer_state ();
        }


        /* Destroy the stack itself. */
        yyfree ( yy_buffer_stack );
        yy_buffer_stack = NULL;


        /* Destroy the start condition stack. */
        yyfree ( yy_start_stack );
        yy_start_stack = NULL;
        return 0;
}
