I have a parser that works great except if there's space at the end of the stream. I can't seem to come up with a manner to match that space. The file consists of a header block followed by any number of "shape" blocks. I'm calling the parser with: boost::spirit::classic::parse(begin, end, grammar, boost::spirit::classic::space_p) My file grammar looks like so: shape_file = !( header[assign_a(self.header_was_read, t)][assign_a (self.read_header, shape_file_header_grammar::current_header)] )
*( shape[push_back_a(self.read_shapes, shape_grammar::current_shape)] ) ;
The parser seems to break down because space at the end of the stream makes it try to read another shape. My shape grammar looks like so: shape_block = // := <shape_header> "Begin" <element>* "End" (shape_header | shapeheader_error)
(as_lower_d["begin"] | begin_error) *element as_lower_d["end"] ;
I've tried adding '*space_p' at the end of both of the above. I've also tried '*lexeme_p[space_p]' in both. Neither fixes the problem. I've left out the various other bits of the grammars because it all works, with this minor issue about end of file space. I'm hoping that it's irrelevant to the problem. How might I go about gobbling up any end-of-file spaces in this setup? -- http://crazycpp.wordpress.com/
