I responded with details to Walter earlier: In lexer.c search for "case '\\':" and the StringConstant functions. Also, there are a couple uses of writeword where writedchar is intended, and a couple "/ 2" snippets should be "/ sizeof (wchar_t)", or perhaps "dchar".  Also charConstant, but that's dead code anyway.  Sorry that I can't be more specific, but I passed the file through indent.

It's all in lexer.c; grepping for these and putting in some diagnostics and tests should shake out the problems.  All strings use wchar_t before being more specifically typed, so a Hello, World! won't be possible at all until that's amended.

It's a buggy argument anyway - it only pays attention to the last instance of -I.

I've attached my implementation if you want to use that.  "fail_at" is similar to "error", except that it stops program execution.

g++ -Dlinux
In other words the compiler command line.
The latest Makefile should do it for you.
