Thank you for fixing these defects!

I've spent a day testing ecpg preprocessor and found another couple of
bugs:
1)
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
int i = 1;
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;

EXEC SQL DECLARE c CURSOR FOR SELECT :i;

{;}
}

EXEC SQL OPEN c;

2)
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
char s[100];
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;

EXEC SQL DECLARE cur_1 CURSOR FOR SELECT 1;
EXEC SQL FETCH cur_1 INTO :s[0];

Also, processing of .../ecpg/test/sql/include.pgc, containing only:
EXEC SQL INCLUDE ../sql;

emits merely:
input in flex scanner failed

I think that's all that can be found here without extra efforts.

Best regards,
Alexander
