I assume that by "top-posting" you mean that I did not prefix my subject with [proto] -- sorry. You are condescending. I'm just trying to understand this new library to see whether there are any areas of applications for me. I was already inside these examples. It sounded pretty much like a compiler-compiler to me. But I don't see any need to parse Object-Literals-expressions and execute them -- isn't there already a lambda library?

How can boost proto help me in my compiler project?
Is it another way to write a grammar and parse it?
If by "compiler" you mean something that reads a text file, parses it according to a grammar and Does Something, then Proto is *not* what you are looking for. Use Boost.Spirit.
ok. Can you give me an application area for boost::proto? In short I don't understand what DomainSpecificEmbeddedLanguage means.
The term is defined in Proto's documentation, and many examples are given there. http://boost-sandbox.sf.net/libs/proto HTH, -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
