[ragel-users] ragel didn't rename data variable for C# code.

[Shawn Hoover]

Hi Denis,

I also made a Ragel custom code generator recently. It also suffered the
parameters issue, of course, but I mainly stopped using it because it
doesn't work from command line builds, only in VS. Do you have a way around
that? I changed to a prebuild event instead and just type out all the
parameters there and each ragel file manually. Unfortunately that runs for
every build instead of just when the .rl file changes. Now I'm working on
developing an msbuild task that can be used in .csproj the same way Compile
appears there.
