gperf error?

[Ernest Mak]

Hi,

I was having problem compiling icarus verilog on
Cygwin.  Compilation stopped because gperf did
not generate the right output file. 

In this case, the input file is lexor_keyword.gperf
and the output file is lexor_keyword.cc.  I have
obtained a copy of the correct output file from the
icarus verilog author Stephen Williams
(address@hidden) who pointed out that it was a gperf
bug and the matter should be routed to the proper
channel (pls see attached mail).  I have enclosed 3
files here for your reference:
lexor_keyword.gperf
lexor_keyword.cc
wrong.lexor_keyword.cc

Pls let me know if you need more info.

Thanks
Ernest

It looks like the gperf program botched the reading of the input file.
It is not recognizing the %% that terminates the table, so is putting
the tail code into the table, and otherwise making a grizzly mess.

In may be having troubles with DOS/UNIX line terminators. My day
job has me swamped at the moment, so I'll just send you a pre-compiled
lexor_keyword.cc for now. This needs to be ultimately passed on as a
bug for the Cygwin or the gperf folks.

Thanks for your help, we'll get this fixed up eventually.
