register keyword used in the generated lexer

[khaledmohammed]

register keyword used in the generated lexer such as the following:
register yy_size_t number_to_move = (yy_n_chars) + 2;

c++11 has deprecated the "register" keyword. register keyword is a hint to the compiler.

It would be nice if we can remove the "register" keyword from the generated scanner for at least c++, if not for c.

Some compilers have started printing a warning message if c++11x option is choosen to compile the scanner, and causes issue in the build system

Thanks,

Sorry for delay, I was sick a little. I will try to upgrade win_flex to version 2.6.3
Seems there is no any register words in the generated code.
Will it works for you? Or do you depend on 2.5.37 version?

Hi Alex, Thank you so much. Upgrading to 2.6.3 will be wonderful. Thanks again, -khaled

Hi Khaled,

just finished upgrading win_flex, now testing it.
Could you please take a new version from releses section here and try it.
And let me know in case any issues.

Regards,
Alex
