I guess that the suffix u is intended to mark unsigned integers. So, I would say that the alternatives [fFlL] and [fFlLuU] should be swapped. Furthermore, is it intentional that you do not recognize the '_' digit separator in floating point numbers that begin with a decimal point? > + /* unary and binary operators */ > + "|[-+*/<>%&^|=!]?==?|--|\\+\\+|<<?=?|>>?=?|&&|\\|[|]?|->|\\.\\*|!!|::|[?:.][.:]"), What is the justification that there is still "|&&|\\|[|]?|" instead of "|&&|\\|\\||" that I suggested (and I think I stressed that the point is that single-character operators are matched elsewhere) and to which you said "yes, right"? Also, the part "|<<?=?|>>?=?|" can match <, >, <=, and >=, all of which are matched by other expressions, so you could reduce it to "|<<=|>>=|", because that are the only tokens that they must match. -- Hannes
