There is a problem with the Spirit XML parser. When I define BOOST_PROPERTY_TREE_XML_PARSER_SPIRIT I get a compiler error:

boost-1_39\boost\property_tree\detail\xml_parser_read_spirit.hpp(103) : error C2065: 'empty_ptree' : undeclared identifier

If I use the Rapid XML parser the code compiles. I can't parse a UTF-8 encoded file correctly though. Is this a known problem?

I know I haven't tested any XML parser other than the RapidXML one, and I know I haven't tested it with non-ASCII input. Insofar it's a "known" problem, yeah. :-) Thanks for telling me. I actually plan to drop all XML parsers save one. There's no reason to maintain redundant code. Sebastian
