Re: Boost:regex and C++ Parsing - Spirit!
Wow, I just read through the 1st few pages of the spirit docs, and I can safely say, that is as close to naked women as C++ code will ever be, its such a sexy idea. One library, and you can parse any sort of config file, code or anything! Amazing. Well, any lingering desire to use regex for my pet project has now left the building, I can't wait to have a play with spirit. When will it be a part of boost? Is it worth installing it seperately (I'd hate to do that and have a new boost appear the day after). Also, reading this made up my mind that I should get a nice magazine about STL and C++ matters, can anyone recommend one (UK based preferable, but all sugestions welcome). Interetsing stuff, thank you all! Gaz

You might find this announcement and ensuing commentary on the boost-devel list interesting: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/111012 Angus

It's part of Boost for about 2 years already :-) Regards Hartmut

Wow! What a compliment. I *like* naked women :-) I must've been exposed to lots of 'em when I was coding spirit :-P. Spirit *is* a part of boost since 1.30 (or was it 1.29?). Cheers, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net

Gentlemen, consider decency. /me covers his eyes in embarassment.

Spirit is indeed an elegant library, by utilizing many powerful features of C++ in context it exemplifies what sublime things can be done with the language. Good luck with your project Gaz. (-: Please excuse the offtopic post. No effusions of remonstrance were personally directed. Justin
