Is it possible to evaluate terminal and custom_terminal expressions in the some custom actions class? For instance how to implement "terminal_eval" to print something in the following code?

#include #include<iostream>

using namespace boost;

struct actions { template struct when; };

template<> struct actions::whenphoenix::rule::terminal : phoenix::call {};

int main() { int var = 11; phoenix::eval(phoenix::val(var), phoenix::context(int(), actions())); return 0; }

I've tried to use the following form, but encountered some compiler errors: (GCC-4.2.1[FreeBSD], boost and phoenix were taken from SVN, latest versions)

struct terminal_eval { typedef void result_type; template result_type operator ()(Context const&ctx, Expr const&expr) { std::cout<< "terminal"<< std::endl; } };

Hi,

phoenix::call does not work with terminals (which have an arity of 0). The reason for this is because I didn't want to dictate what should be passed to the eval function, the possibilities are: the value of the terminal, or the proto::terminal type itself, the reason i couldn't decide is because phoenix::call passes along proto expressions to the to be called function object, and not the result of the evaluation.

You're code will work by doing the following:

template<> struct actions::whenphoenix::rule::terminal : proto::call {};

or:

template<> struct actions::whenphoenix::rule::terminal : proto::call {};

Thanks, I understood the problem, but your solution doesn't work (same errors) because detail::call_impl uses proto::arity_of<Expr>::value for Arity parameter where Expr is staying the same (terminal or custom_terminal) and there are no template specialization for Arity = 0 as you pointed. Of course if I specify in my code boost::phoenix::detail::call_impl for zero arity, I can ever use my code from the initial post of this thread, but in my opinion it is not the best option to externally use detail parts of the library. Can you explain more clearly why it is a problem to select between passing expression value and expression itself? I didn't understand you last phrase, but from the usage point of view, I think, passing an expression itself is a good option, because you can still transform an expression tree like in the inverse example (same coding style) and in the same time easily get an expression value by calling inside evaluator the proto::value function instead of phoenix::eval.

There is a different between phoenix::call and proto::call: phoenix::call expects just a callable type that can be called with the Context and the children. proto::call expects a function type which specifies exactly how that Callable should be called.

Agree that there should be some default behavior for call with terminals, and that passing the whole terminal rather than the value is probably the best default.

Alright ... I just wasn't sure about that ... I added the specialization that just forwards the whole terminal.
