Boost already has a Lexer library (Boost.Spirit.Lex) with both static and dynamic table generation, what does this lexer library do in comparison?

This is one of the reasons I wanted to find it. It is on the review schedule so clearly someone thinks it was worth the work.

Boost.Spirit.Lex is rather new, about a year or two old, so it might be newer then the one in the review queue...

Would be interesting to find it and see what happened to it, how it compares.

The library on the review queue (google for lexertl) is the one used under the hoods of Spirit.Lex. The plan is to make it a full blown Boost library. FWIW, the author, Ben Hanson currently works on a newer version, though. Regards Hartmut --------------- http://boost-spirit.com
