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 trunk). This is an interface breaking change, but overall and in

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

And the point of hiding the Spirit 2.0 docs is.... ?

We consider Spirit V2 to be a beta version and the docs themselves are not complete. This will be rectified with Boost V1.41, where the docs will be complete and Spirit V2.1 will officially replace Spirit.Classic (whose docs will be 'hidden' from that point on). Regards Hartmut
