Using the wave driver reference implementation on the code found at: http://folk.uio.no/andsebjo/bugInducingCode.C I get the following error: bugInducingCode.C(10157): error: generic lexing error: '\000' in input stream This code compiles with g++ and if any line is cut within the file it does not fail with Wave. The code contains only C++ syntax so it is basically a test of the cpplexer. Is this a know problem?

This problem occurs in both my two months old CVS version of boost and the 1.3.1 build.

Hmmm. Sorry I'm not able to reproduce this problem here. But the error you get says your input stream contains a binary 0 (zero) byte. And yes it's a lexer diagnostic. The standard says (2.2.2 [lex.charset]): <quote> If the hexadecimal value for a universal character name is less than 0x20 or in the range 0x7F0x9F (inclusive), or if the universal character name designates a character in the basic source character set, then the program is illformed. </quote> So I'm pretty sure Wave is right to diagnose this. Could you send me the file as an attachment, please, just to make sure I really get it as you have it on your disk. Regards Hartmut
