Errors with MPC

[CaptainZidgel]

Has their been a change in mpc syntax since the last website update?
Trying to follow tutorial and running into an issue at chapter 6, trying to run the following code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <editline/readline.h>
#include <editline/history.h>
#include "mpc.h"

static char input[2048];

int main() {
	mpc_parser_t* Number = mpc_new("number");
	mpc_parser_t* Operator = mpc_new("operator");
	mpc_parser_t* Expr = mpc_new("expr");
	mpc_parser_t* Lispy = mpc_new("lispy");

	mpca_lang(MPCA_LANG_DEFAULT,
	"						\
	number : /-?[0-9]+/;				\
	operator : '+' | '-' | '*' | '/' ;		\
	expr : <number> | '(' <operator> <expr>+ ')' :	\
	lispy : /^/ <operator> <expr>+ /$/ ;		\
	",
	Number, Operator, Expr, Lispy);

	puts("v 0.0");
	puts("Press Ctrl+c to Exit\n");
	
	while (1) {
		char* input = readline("* ");
		add_history(input);
		printf("You've just inp't %s", input);
		free(input);
		/* Poopy */
		mpc_result_t r;
		if (mpc_parse("<stdin>", input, Lispy, &r)) {
			mpc_ast_print(r.output);
			mpc_ast_delete(r.output);
		} else {
			mpc_ast_print(r.error);
			mpc_ast_delete(r.error);
		}

	}

	mpc_cleanup(4, Number, Operator, Expr, Lispy);
	return 0;
}

Running this command...
cc -std=c99 -Wall thing.c mpc.c -ledit -lm -o thing.out (Using the file name 'thing' instead of 'parsing' as is used in the tutorial)

This is just a small sample, as I suspect the actual console output would be a mile long...

Hi @Coolster4000,

I'm not sure what could be wrong and I can't seem to reproduce it but you could try getting the newest version of mpc from the github repo.
