Hi, Long story short: I would like to create proto expressions at run-time using spirit parsers. Would it be possible? More in details: I'd like to parse disassembler output, creating proto expression template for instruction and its operands. Lets assume we define proto expressions that would allow to express the following asm: "lea eax, [ebx + 2 * ecx]" like this: BOOST_PROTO_AUTO(lea_instr, eax = &*(ebx + 2 * ecx)); // registers and immediates are proto terminals Of course, we can't write such an expression in C++ code, because the actual operands get known after the asm string is parsed. So we can express any "lea" in the code (at compile-time) in a more general form, using placeholders: _1 = &_2; Then, when the parser matches "lea", we need to parse and create at run-time the actual operands, i.e. to substitute _1 with eax and _2 with *(ebx + 2 * ecx). I'd appreciate any pointer! Thanks.
