I cant use use boost trunk, in order to get faster compiles, since I have to use
boost1.38/1.39. Also it looks like the grammar construction in the examples
is different. I looked for a similar example in boost 1.39 since we use closures
but none exists.

Surely anyone who is using spirit and building on multiple platforms must be
be affected with this bug ?

Best regards.

I am using boost spirit 1.39. On gcc the compilation times are acceptable.
However on AIX with v10.1 compiler, it fails to even compile. After 24hrs
waiting, I gave up.

Ok I realise that the grammer needs to split. Is there any _small_
examples out there, that demonstrates this technique for a beginner ?

In my case I have one grammer and ~70 rules.
Take the following rule:

rule<ScannerT, string_closure::context_t> identifier ;
identifier
= lexeme_d [ (alnum_p || ch_p('_')) >> *(alnum_p ||
ch_p('_')) ]
[ identifier.name =
construct_<std::string>(arg1, arg2) ]
;

What is the technique for converting it into a grammer, that is separately
compiled ?

Also how would I reference it again, without including the header file, from
another rule

dotPath
= ( str_p(".")
>> +(
str_p("/")
>> identifier
)
)
[ dotPath.name = construct_<std::string>(arg1, arg2) ]
;

Any help would greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

First, you should use Boost Trunk, it compiles quite noticeably faster.
Second, look in the Spirit examples directly with Boost Trunk, in the
QI subdirectory, the mini_c directory has an example of just that.
