Is it possible to write parser of binary data (ie. NULL is just some value, not string delimiter) using Spirit or Xpressive? Did anyone actualy tried it?

There is a binary parser sample in "libs/spirit/example/intermediate/ipv4.cpp" so I would say the answer is yes for spirit. And no, I didn't try it myself...

This is true also for xpressive, which works with iterators and gives no special meaning to NULL characters. xpressive can also be used to parse non-character data, such as arrays of integers. Just use the null_regex_traits in xpressive/traits/null_regex_traits.hpp. This is documented at http://tinyurl.com/bw5pk HTH, -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
