Look like its generated code from lex. (from the build, flex -t lex.l > lex.c
and nm shows lex.o contains yy_get_next_buffer)
Not much we can do here I think, its in code generated by lex.
Other interesting Coverity questions though - how to get the solaris,
darwin, and windows PMDAs checked? (Coverity website says that these
are supported platforms, so would be good to do if we can).
Once we've finished the initial run-through I'll talk to Eric once
more, see if we can get a new run done and results circulated, plus
bring up these other questions.
Other trees we should start thinking about are pcp4 and pcp-gui too
btw, but might wait for the scars to start to heal before taking on
those. :)
cheers.
