You could use a flex EOF rule to append 1 a newline to the input:

<<EOF>> { static int once = 0; return once++ ? 0 : '\n' }
Score: 7

In your lex file

#define yyterminate() return token::END

In your yacc file

%token END 0 "end of file"

In fact to catch end of file in lex|flex 7 you can use the yywrap() function which is called 6 by lexical analyzer if end of the input 5 file is reached.

this solution is available 4 by both lex and flex.the callback of yywrap() indicates 3 the EOFso you can reimplement this function 2 and inject the work you need to do at the 1 end of your input stream.

Previous works fine for me.

If you use C 5 Bizon (not C++), just use END for token::END 4 and in yacc file %token END

Had another issue after 3 that, if the macros return not YY_NULL, it 2 never terminates (infinite loop)

It can be 1 solved like this:

bool term = false;
#define yyterminate() return (term = !term)?END : YY_NULL

An alternative approach would be to restructure 8 your grammar to not need a newline at the 7 end. As long as your language allows blank 6 lines (usually the case), you can write 5 your grammar using newline as a line separator rather 4 than a line terminator

input: line | input '\n' line ;
line: /* empty */
    | ... various other rules ...

Now if you do have a newline at 3 the end of the input, this gets treated 2 as a blank line after that newline, which 1 is probably fine.
