Detailed Description
A lexical scanner for the input file format.
The lexer reads characters from an input stream and groups them to tokens, which are handed to yy::parser to be matched against the input grammar. A token is described using a regular expression. The lexer is the place where whitespace is stripped from the input (except in string literals).
This lexer was generated from lexer.lex using flex.

| void yy::lexer::LexerError | ( | const char * | msg | ) | [virtual] |
Error handler.
Error messages are forwarded to driver::error, which takes care of printing them.
- Parameters:
-
msg a message describing the error.

| ) |
Read next token from input.
This is the most important part of the lexer. It is called repeatedly by the parser through driver::scan to read the next token from the input.
- Parameters:
-
[out] yylval the value of the token. [out] yylloc the location of the token.
- Returns:
- the type code of the token.
