Buffer Class Visibility

[Capranaut]

Section 3.3 of the GPLEX docs call out ScanBuff as "an abstract, public class." I see you overrode that in commit 647ef58. This is causing CS0053 build errors when the .lex file contains the "%visibility public" flag. The .lex file in question works fine with manual builds of GPLEX. Do you have a suggestions for a work around? I tired setting the /noEmbedBuffers flag and adjusting GplexBuffers.cs manually, but it seems gets overridden on build by YaccLexTools.Gplex

Hi @Capranaut,
thank you for reporting this issue. I have identified how to fix it, but is needs a patch to the package.
In the meanwhile you can patch manually the file GplexBuffers.cs by replacing line 29 with

#if EXPORT_GPPG
public abstract class ScanBuff
#else
internal abstract class ScanBuff
#endif

Then build with defining the constant EXPORT_GPPG

dotnet build /p:DefineConstants=EXPORT_GPPG

@ernstc Thanks so much! That's certainly a more elegant solution than what I had come up with

<PropertyGroup>
   <BuffFile>GplexBuffers.cs</BuffFile>
 </PropertyGroup>
