PS: I don't know how long you are using the Spirit.Classic AST/PT code already or whether this is a new project you just started to develop. In any case I strongly suggest to consider abandoning the Spirit.Classic tree parsers and switching to Spirit V2.1 (Boost SVN

Peter Schueller wrote: trunk). This is an interface breaking change, but overall and in the long run preferable. The Spirit.Classic tree code is known to be slow and buggy and I doubt it will be fixed. Spirit 2.1 is much faster, more stable and generally easier to use.

I know, I saw the announcement of V2 on the Website, but the documentation only is about the classic Spirit, so I used the old one.

( http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/libs/spirit/index.html automatically redirects to the classic documentation )

Once there is a documentation I will certainly consider switching to V2.

There is documentation for V2. It's just hidden. http://www.boost.org/libs/spirit/doc/html

This is the documentation for Spirit V2.0. We will release Spirit V2.1 with Boost V1.41, so I would encourage to look here instead: http://tinyurl.com/ojalum (which is still work in progress, but nevertheless much more complete than the docs mentioned my Steven). Regards Hartmut
