Hi Netters!

For the record: NeXTstation TURBO Mono, NeXTstep 2.2 Extended.

I am currently experiencing a problem with lex on the NeXT -- or
rather, the skeleton file '/usr/lib/lex/ncform'. Alas it will *not*
compile with the 'cc++' compiler -- _flsbuf and _filbuf (declared in
stdio.h) are declared something like:

extern int _filbuf();
extern int _flsbuf();

.. when they should really have been declared with 1 and 2 arguments,
respectively. Now as 'cc' also handles 'old' prototypes, it actually
flies through, but 'cc++' reports "too many arguments to function" and
prompty refuses to compile. So I guess this is really a bug in (the
old) cc++ or what?

Am I doing something wrong?

What's the easiest (and best?) fix for this `problem'?
 Fix stdio.h myself?
 Patch the cc++ binary to handle old-style decls?
 Say my prayers and hope the problem will go away by itself?

Any opinions?
