(Closes: #770161). flex (2.6.4-2) unstable; urgency=medium * Added get-orig-source target, and updated the watch file * Bug fix: "flex FTCBFS: executes host architectue stage1flex during build", thanks to Helmut Grohne (Closes: #833146). This reinstates Helmut's original fix. There was a question about not using help2man in the first place. I considered it; but upstream continues to use help2man, including it in autoconf. I think Helmut's fix is elegant, and saves work as flex's options change over time, and is a smaller delta from upstream. flex (2.6.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream version. Notable changes + a segfalt involving yyrestart(NULL) has been fixed + flex should now handle quoting when mixed with m4 processing correctly + flex handles `[[' and `]]' correctly + flex no longer generates non-ANSI code + more compilation warnings were squashed in generated scanners + prevented a buffer overflow that could occur when input buffers were the exact wrong size + several bug fixes resolved problems introduced in recent flex versions regarding processing of comments, literals and various quoting scenarios. + If the path to m4 was sufficiently long, a buffer overflow could occur. This has been resolved. The fix also removes dependence on the constant PATH_MAX. + Some minor performance enhancements. + We honor user defined yy_* macros again. We are also more careful to not leak macro definitions into header files. + A number of portability fixes were introduced so building flex is more reliable on more platforms. Additionally, outdated function calls were removed. + When building the flex executable itself, %# comments from flex.skl are removed when generating the C source code array. This reduces the size of flex. + Flex can be cross compiled. * Bug fix: "comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions", thanks to Frank Heckenbach. This should be fixed now.

The development of flex ias transitionaing to github; updated the watch file. * Bug fix: "CVE-2016-6354: buffer overflow in generated code (yy_get_next_buffer)", thanks to Salvatore Bonaccorso. The latest upstream has this bug fixed. (Closes: #832768). flex (2.6.0-11) unstable; urgency=low * Cherry pick fix from upstream. * Bug fix: "n_alloc has wrong value in buf_append function", thanks to Howard Gong (Closes: #761250). * Bug fix: "Type of yy_n_chars changed to yy_size_t by authors cause bug in YY_INPUT macro where result argument is tested if < 0; thanks to gcc's -Werror=type-limits", thanks to Michal Fita (Closes: #770161). flex (2.6.0-10) unstable; urgency=low * Cherry pick fix from upstream. * Bug fix: "%option noline generates and error message", thanks to Arthur Schwarz (Closes: #729693). * Bug fix: "flex --noline outputs a #line directive", thanks to Arthur Schwarz (Closes: #729927). flex (2.6.0-9) unstable; urgency=low * Updated standards version to 3.9.7. No changes needed. * Bug fix: "[src:flex] FTCBFS: runs host arch binaries during build", thanks to Helmut Grohne. Make the tests use either the installed flex or the newly built flex to generate test soureces, depending on whether or not we are cross compiling. Also added a build depends flex <cross> Hope this works. This has not broken the common case. (Closes: #762180). flex (2.6.0-8) unstable; urgency=low * Bug fix: "flex FTCBFS: runs tests even when DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS contains nocheck", thanks to Helmut Grohne. Added an AM_CONDITIONAL that tests DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS in configure.ac, and use that in tests/Makefile.am. Seems to work fine. (Closes: #812659). * Bug fix: "runs host arch binaries during build via help2man", thanks to Helmut Grohne. The change from the previous patch is that the flex binary now is created in ./src/ (Closes: #762180). flex (2.6.0-7) unstable; urgency=low * Bug fix: "C++ style comment in C output", thanks to Tim Rühsen So, when we applied the upstream patch, it only fixed the skeleton file, flex.skl, and not the generated files skel.c and scan.c;. Added a feature branch that fixes the generated files, the need for this will go away with the next upstream release. I hope. For what it is worth, the diff in upstream seems to be the same one that was in the NMU; and I have no explanations for why the -6 would behave diferently from the NMU. (Closes: #813256). flex (2.6.0-6) unstable; urgency=low * Back out the changes made to the experimental branch * Set the libfl-dev package to be MA: same flex (2.6.0-5) experimental; urgency=low * First cut at correcting multi-arch support. flex is MA: foreign, and libfl-dev is MA: same. flex no longer automatically pulls in libfl-dev, so at the very least packages using C++ lexers will need to pull in libfl-dev in build depends. flex (2.6.0-4) unstable; urgency=low * Bug fix: "C++ style comment in C output", thanks to Tim Rühsen There is a fix uploaded to deferred by Salvatore Bonaccorso <carnil@debian.org>. I am uploading this fix instead, since this variant has the same fix applied by a signed cherry pick from upstream, which will make the upgrade to the next version somewhat simpler. (Closes: #813256). * Bug fix: "wrongly declares Multi-Arch:foreign", thanks to Helmut Grohne. While we discuss the correct solution for this, I have removed the MA package tags. I am not quite happy with the proposed solution (swapping names of the packages seems icky, but I'll defer to the experts if there is no better way) (Closes: #761449). flex (2.6.0-3) unstable; urgency=high * Revert the help2man fix; it was creating errors in the diff.gz file. We are now back to being mostly in sync with upstream. flex (2.6.0-2) unstable; urgency=low * Revert "[fix-off-by-one-error]: generatred line numbers are off by one". This brings us in line with upstream; and our fix was not working anyway. Unfortunately, this still does not resolve #729927. * Bug fix: "runs host arch binaries during build via help2man", thanks to Helmut Grohne (Closes: #762180). flex (2.6.0-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream version i * Updated Standards version to 3.9.6. No changes needed. * Updated the VCS-Git field of the control file to use HTTPS transport * Updated the copyright file to DEP-5 format. * Reverted to source format 1.0 , and use dgit flex (2.5.39-8) unstable; urgency=low * Added a missing build depends on vm-super-minimal, reuired fro building the pdf documentation, (Closes: #752151). * Move flex.pdf to the flex-doc package. This makes it possible for the flex package's contents to not change if texinfo is not installed, e.g. in the stage1 build profile. Thanks to Peter Pentchev <roam@ringlet.net> * Move the flex-doc build dependencies to B-D-I. Move the TeX Live dependencies to Build-Depends-Indep and only build the HTML and PDF documentation if actually requested. This breaks a circular build dependency by not requiring texlive for the build of the arch-dependent flex binary packages. (Closes: #749344). * Bug fix #752151: "pdfetex error about missing cm-super", thanks to Helmut Grohne and Cyril Brulebois * Bug fix: #749344" Allow bootstrapping without texlive and dh-autoreconf", thanks to Peter Pentchev flex (2.5.39-7) unstable; urgency=low * dh-autoreconf already depends on all the autotools that it will attempt to use to rebuild the package's build framework, so remove the direct (and redundant) dependencies on the autotools packages. Suggestion by Peter Pentchev (Closes: #749341). * The patch also cleaned up the creation of examples and links for man pages. * Bug fix #749341: "Drop the autotools build dependencies, dh-autoreconf is sufficient", thanks to Peter Pentchev flex (2.5.39-6) unstable; urgency=low * The code that is generated by flex has an off-by-one error in the generated #line pragmas that occur after the second %% line in the source file.

The package libfl-dev needs to replace and Break the flex-old package too, (Closes: #744833). * Bug fix: "redundant redeclaration of ‘isatty’", thanks to Ludovic Rousseau. This duplication was removed in the last upstream release. (Closes: #488274). * Bug fix: "flex-2.5.35 bug", thanks to Yuriy Z. scan.c now declares n as size_t, in the new upstream version.

The new version of flex does succeed in running make check (it would not build otherwise) (Closes: #632095). flex (2.5.39-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream release * internationalization: added support for various languages. Fix make install target to not fail when the flex++ program is already installed. various portability fixes that quiet compiler warnings on 64-bit hosts. numerous bug fixes. * Moved to a new dh based build system. Also moved to a 3.0 source format, using debcherry. * Bug fix: "cross build support", thanks to Eleanor Chen. We have moved to a standard dh based build, so we should not have this issue any more. (Closes: #719955). * Bug fix: "examples not included into binary packages", thanks to Carl Fürstenberg. Examples are in this version.

Redid the patch to work with dh. (Closes: #611230). * Updating to a new build system means that the changes made to the build system in the NMU are not needed, dh does the right thing. * The new upstream release added the prototypes in re-entrant mode, so we are no longer carrying those patches. flex (2.5.35-10.1) unstable; urgency=low * Non-maintainer upload. * Use dpkg-buildflags to enable hardened build flags.

As newer versions of autoconf come out, and these nerw versions support more architectures, porting to them becomes harder if the package uses the now obsolete versionsof the files. Flex packaging now begins to reate autoconf and automake as real toolchain components, and re-creates the autoconf files at build time, and removes them while cleaning up. This should help out peopole on newly supported platforms. * [0999f25]: [gcc-4-4-include-fix] Add missing #include cstdio for gcc-4.4 GCC 4.4 has cleaned up some more C++ headers. You always have to include headers directly, and cannot depend on things to be included indirectly. Bug fix: "produces c++ code with missing include cstdio", thanks to Martin Michlmayr (Closes: #525812). flex (2.5.35-6) unstable; urgency=high * [f0d7848]: Finish fixing the ia64 buffer issue. Previous commits increased YY_READ_BUF_SIZE (where __ia64__ is defined) but left YY_BUF_SIZE unchanged, so that didn't fix the problem in the end. In the general case, the latter is twice the former. Therefore set it to the same ratio in the ia64 case. Thanks to Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org> for the heavy lifting. Bug fix: "flex scanner push-back overflow", thanks to Sergei Golovan. (Closes: #505056) flex (2.5.35-5) unstable; urgency=low * [debiandir:7eff632]: Fix race conditions in local.mk [62a6595]: Correct a few dependencies in Makefiles These fixes allow flex to be built using make -j3 Bug fix: "FTBFS with parallel in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS", thanks to Daniel Schepler. The heavy lifting was done by Robert Millan (Closes: #507231). flex (2.5.35-4) unstable; urgency=low * [f6cc9ae] Narrow buffer size changes to just IA64 Increasing the buffer size on other architectures cause problems in corner cases not caught by the test suite. So perhaps it is not better to increase the buffer size unilatereally for all architectures, but to just increase it for the architecture it is required on, namely, IA64, and leave it unchanged on other architectures. This solution should fix the new grave bugs, while not reopening the original but that cause this change to be done in the first place. Grave Bug fix: flex scanner push-back overflow, thanks to Sergei Golovan (Closes: #505056, #504030) * [debiandir:9a6d713] Fix VCS-Browser source field. Bug fix: Useless VCS-Browser control field, thanks to Vincent Fourmond (Closes: #503732) * [d58780f] Wrap ECHO macro to avoid FORTIFY warnings This change will enable flex scanners to be compiled with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2, which is a good thing security wise. Bug Fix: flex causing warnings when compiled with FORTIFY_SOURCE, thanks to Kees Cook. (Closes: #505233, #388438) flex (2.5.35-3) unstable; urgency=low * Bug fix: "debian dir contains *.so", thanks to Raphael Hertzog This is a simple rname of a file used purely in packaging, and has low risk, but would allow compiling the flex source package with squeeze's packaging tools. (Closes: #485095). * [88bb2fc] Fix generation of broken output on ia64 when input is piped in On ia64, flex appears to generate a completely different (and broken) output depending on whether the input file is specified using shell redirection or via a pipe. This was traced back commit 3971e1a917548977cff71418a7c3575ffbc9571f, by Alex Nixon <alex.nixon@citrix.com>: VFS: increase pseudo-filesystem block size to PAGE_SIZE. PAGE_SIZE on ia64 kernels is larger than most architectures - 16K is what most distributions (including Debian) use. An effect of the above changeset, as verified by strace, is that the read() and write() system calls issued by flex on a pipe will use this bigger size. fread() appears to be properly hiding the actual read size and is returning 8192 byte buffers to flex upon request. I verified by this by instrumenting YY_INPUT to compare the fread data with the original input file. Its probably useful to note that the corruption happening here is that the last 382 lines of the input file is being prefixed to the output file. The only differences in the remainder of the file are the #line numbers. I've also found that bumping YY_READ_BUF_SIZE up to 16384 seems to workaround the problem - but that may just be putting it back into hiding. The tradeoff here is between correct operation, by making flex's buffer at least as big as the system buffer -- and not bigger, so that we do not waste memory. At this point, fixing the isue seems more important than worrying that flex consumes and additional 8KB of memory. This fix unblocks RC bugs on other packages. Bug fix: "Generates broken output on ia64 when input is piped vs. shell redirection", thanks to Chris Lamb. Fix based on comments by Dann Frazier and Michael Casadevall. (Closes: #501960) * [56ec97d] Fix doxygen comments to reflect actual argument name Fix the comments to reflect the actual name of the function arguments. This is a pure documentation fix.

Closes: Bug#465071 flex (2.5.34-2.1) unstable; urgency=low * Non-maintainer upload. * Fixed a bug in parser with incorrectly added character to a ccl (closes: #464659). flex (2.5.34-2) unstable; urgency=low * Flex set yy_size_t to unsigned int; and used it where size_t was needed, which, or course, failed on amd64 architectures. Since ANSI C has declared size_t to be available in standard C headers since 1989, which is 19 _years_ ago, I suspect we can start depending on size_t to be around and set correctly -- especially on Debian. flex (2.5.34-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. This version has incorporated every single feature and bug fix carried around by Debian, and thus all feature branches are now sealed and merged back. Closes: #462196 * Since the version from which flex asks the question about upgrades was released in 2003, it is time to retire the debconf question. So, the debconf question is now gone, which means that all the translations of the debconf translations are not required.

We started providing libfl_pic.a in the previous upload, not sev3eral years ago, and the name of the static library compiled with position independent code is libfl_pic.a. flex (2.5.33-6) unstable; urgency=low * Starting with version 2.5.33-6 of flex we have started providing a static library compiled with position independent code, namely, libfl_pic.a. The problem is with packages that contain share libraries with a flex scanner compiled in. Since flex generates code that is not self contained, and the missing symbols live in libfl.a. However, since linking a shared library with a object containing non position independent code stopped working with gcc 4.1 (apparently, it was sheer luck that it worked at all). So now we also provide libfl_pic.a for shared library packages to link with. An alternative would have been to provide a full fledged shared library, but that would have been a major break with upstream and other distributions that also have flex, and would entail creating new library and devel packages for flex, which is more work that seems justified (considering that we would have to maintain the fork, and keep track of any ABI changes, and all that). * Bug fix: "flex: [INTL:ru] Russian debconf templates translation", thanks to Yuri Kozlov (Closes: #382402). * Started adding md5sums of the package, since dpkg is not ever likely to directly support this. flex (2.5.33-5) unstable; urgency=low * Bug fix: "[INTL:lt] Lithuanian debconf translation", thanks to Gintautas Miliauskas (Closes: #381235). * Bug fix: "flex: warning in generated code", thanks to Martin Michlmayr.

This is also pointless, since POSIX guarantees that the child inherits the streams from the parent. There are no test failures from thie fix. closes: Bug#194844 * Fixed the generation of non ansi function definiton macros to include a \, so that the parameters do not default to int (they are actually pointers to structs), which makes the test fail on machines where ints and pointers are a different size. closes: Bug#191672 flex (2.5.31-8) unstable; urgency=low * Added a patch from Bastian Kleineidam fixinf nounbistd option. closes: Bug#193317 flex (2.5.31-7) unstable; urgency=low * remove /* in a comment, since it creates warnings under -Wall, Hit a lot of people. closes: Bug#192450, Bug#192763, Bug#192244 flex (2.5.31-6) unstable; urgency=low * revert adding stdint.h to the 'standard C headers'since using stdint.h macros on IA64, rather than our own, breaks things. closes: Bug#191672 flex (2.5.31-5) unstable; urgency=low * Updated the new download location in the copyright file. closes: Bug#191157 * add stdint.h to the 'standard C headers' to prevent warnings for redefinitions ofUINTN_MAX macros.

This is part of the gcc migration process; flex has been updated (the buggy, rickety set of patches required to make it work with gcc was dumped in favour of a well engineered upstream migration) * As you may see, flex scanners have become reentrant, the c++ versions are compatible with recent c++ compilers (conform to ANSI C++, gcc 3.2), supports bison variables yylval and yylloc. Some variables have been renamed. Flex generates C99 defs now; see YY_TRADITIONAL_FUNC_DEFS yylineno is present in all scanners. yylineno is per-buffer in reentrant scanners. flex tries its best to output only the relevant portions of the skeleton when generating a scanner, thus avoiding as much conditional compilation as possible * non ansi mode was broken (this only shows up on machines where pointers and ints are not the same size). closes: Bug#188813 flex (2.5.31-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. flex (2.5.4a-33) unstable; urgency=low * Continuing the process of gcc 3.2.x compatribility. closes: Bug#185714 flex (2.5.4a-32) unstable; urgency=low * There was a blank line in initscan.c that made it impossible to build on buildds. closes: Bug#185772 flex (2.5.4a-31) unstable; urgency=low * Make flexlexer have the std:: prefix closes: Bug#181670, Bug#180446 * Fix flex.skl closes: Bug#184393 flex (2.5.4a-30) unstable; urgency=low * FlexLexer.h now include iostream, not iostream.h. closes: Bug#173943, Bug#180051 * Fix broken printf format closes: Bug#174350 * The behaviour of flex was different based on what order options were specified: option nomain before option noyywrap caused one set of behaviours, reversing the order changes the behavious, since nomain seemed to reset noyywrap. This was fixed in scanl. and initscan.c. closes: Bug#174259 flex (2.5.4a-29) unstable; urgency=low * No longer provide /usr/doc link.

Not so good. One should be able to generate portable lexers with flex. closes: Bug#145237 flex (2.5.4a-24) unstable; urgency=low * Well, the symbol is really _WIN32. * Added clarifications about %option stdin to the flex man page (some wording taken from CVS). flex (2.5.4a-23) unstable; urgency=low * Hmm. For non POSIX systems (well, where _Win32 is defined) where unistd.h is not available, use the old isatty prototype. flex (2.5.4a-22) unstable; urgency=low * Interactive lexers were broken by the fic to handle interrupted reads. closes: Bug#131242 flex (2.5.4a-21) unstable; urgency=low * Hmm. Run aclocal on the acinclude file first. flex (2.5.4a-20) unstable; urgency=low * Add a build depends for autotconf, needed now that we make changes to the script. closes: Bug#130703 flex (2.5.4a-19) unstable; urgency=low * For machines that do not use the GNU libc (and thus, does not have gettext as part of the libc), flex failed to compile. The grep package has a macro to handle exactly this situation, elegantly, which is labelled as available for public use, in it's aclocal.m4 file. This version of flex uses that.

The race condition appears much more frequently than one might expect because plan spends a good deal of time in read routine while gcc is preparing the input. I cleaned up another problem case beyond what is given in the patch. closes: Bug#125611 * flex -o "ddd" doesn't write to the file "ddd", instead it tries to write to the file "" (yes, blank) and read from "ddd".
