Subject: 27.0.50; stream of messages about ‘semantic-flex’
Date: Mon, 08 Jan 2018 18:04:08 -0500

In GNU Emacs 27.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-apple-darwin17.3.0, NS appkit-1561.20 Version 10.13.2 (Build 17C88))

System Description:  Mac OS X 10.13.2

I keep getting messages about semantic-flex being obsolete.
lispbibl.d is in C-mode as came with Emacs.
1. it should not be constantly re-parsed (it has been buries for many days)
2. stock emacs package (cc-mode) should not use obsolete functionality.

Anyway, I guess the following works around it. AFAICS, this code is
unchanged since Cedet was added to Emacs.

Now you need to somehow trigger reparsing.
So far I see no reliable way.
Go to the end of buffer.
Enter stuff.
Enable some C-mode features like hungry delete &c.
Enter more stuff.
Switch to *scratch* and wait.
Eventually it starts repasing like crazy and I cannot even exit normally
(i.e., C-g C-g C-g C-x C-c gets me nowhere).

the messages are only a symptom.
the re-scans are killing editing.

semantic-flex has been removed on master, so this issue has solved
itself.  I'm therefore closing this bug report.
