Is this still using Monterey as in the other ticket?
comment:3 Changed 2 years ago by sudheerhebbale (Sudheer Hebbale)
Yes OS is Macos Monterey Version 12.1
There was a recent OS upgrade to 12.1 and new version of XCode as well

Summary: | cscope not working after recent upgrade of mac ports using selupdate and upgrade of ports → cscope @15.9: symbol not found in flat namespace '_yylex' |
Replying to sudheerhebbale:
$ cscope dyld[39272]: symbol not found in flat namespace '_yylex' Abort
Now that I've tested on Monterey, I see the same thing.
On Big Sur, I see:
% cscope cscope: no source files found
On Catalina, I see:
$ cscope Cscope version 15.9 Press the ? key for help Find this C symbol: Find this global definition: Find functions called by this function: Find functions calling this function: Find this text string: Change this text string: Find this egrep pattern: Find this file: Find files #including this file: Find assignments to this symbol: cscope: no source files found
I'm surprised to see different output on different OS versions.
I'm looking into some undefined _yylex
symbol issues in other ports right now so maybe that will lead me to a solution for this as well.
It's probably nothing specific to MacPorts so it probably needs to get reported to the developer of cscope. If I can figure out a solution I'll report it to them with the solution, otherwise I can just report it.

Replying to ryandesign:
On Big Sur, I see:
% cscope cscope: no source files found
Interestingly, if I run this binary (that was compiled on Big Sur) on Monterey, I see the original error:
% /Volumes/BigSur\ -\ Data/opt/local/bin/cscope dyld[864]: symbol not found in flat namespace '_yylex' zsh: abort /Volumes/BigSur\ -\ Data/opt/local/bin/cscope
Searching for "symbol not found in flat namespace" on Google I see lots of hits from people on Monterey. I suspect this is some new check that dyld is doing on Monterey.

Appreciate your efforts.
Hope the developer of cscope will be able to fix it

I reported it here: https://sourceforge.net/p/cscope/bugs/303/
Maybe they'll come up with the answer before me.

The problem does not happen with 15.9.2 and the fix
comment:10 Changed 2 years ago by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)
Thanks for confirming. The developer feels that stripping a program shouldn't break it in this way, and I agree, so I reported it to Apple as feedback id FB9866173.

Apple closed my feedback saying it behaves as designed, but the text of their response indicated they didn't really understand the problem. I don't have the energy to argue with them. Somebody else should re-file the bug with them.
This was raised and fixed vide #63793 in Nov 2021.
The changes suggested in that fix are present in /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/ports/devel/cscope/Portfile
