developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
Changes in 0.9.3:
Fixes one small possible bug in the generated output. ych instead
of yych is output in certain circumstances.
Changes in 0.9.2:
This release fixes most of the known problems with re2c and adds
a few new features as well.
re2c is a preprocessor that generates C-based recognizers from regular
expressions. The input to re2c consists of C/C++ source interleaved
with comments of the form /*!re2c ... */ which contain scanner
specifications. In the output these comments are replaced with code
that, when executed, will find the next input token and then execute
some user-supplied token-specific code.
re2c generates parsers which are not table-based, and can be twice as
fast as flex.
