I use the flag "-lfl", so why won't my Flex program compile?

It says in the Flex documentation that you should link to Flex when compiling the C-program it has created, i.e., give gcc the flag -lfl. However, this does not seem to be necessary and may give more problems than it solves. Among other things, libfl.a defines a main function. So if you have defined a main function yourself, it won't compile. Consider not using that flag. It shouldn't be necessary when using "%option noyywrap".

Bison indicates a default case, but it is not using it!

When considering the .output file, which Bison can generate for debugging purposes, some states end with a default statement. However, this should be read as an "otherwise" in a case statement, where the other cases consist of the listed next symbols on input. For a concrete next symbol on input, the action which is taken is the one not enclosed in square brackets.
