I was fairly familiar with Spirit 1, but I'm now making my first foray into Spirit 2. I'm trying to write something with karma's attribute system. Say I've got a fusion adapted struct:

struct s { int foo; double bar; std::string baz; };

The Spirit docs give plenty of examples like:

int_ << double_ << string

But I can't find any docs showing how to output the members in a different order, like:

double_ << string << int_

Is there a recommended way to achieve this? Thanks!

It is generally better to ask these questions on the Spirit mailing list.

However, three immediate answers to that from what I can see right off the bat.

First: When you specify you struct as the BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_STRUCT or whatever it is called, you can specify your order in that.

That's the preferred method, indeed.

Second: You can use Fusion to operate over the struct to give things a different order.

Look for fusion::nview, which allows to create a fusion view of another fusion sequence/view while defining the order of the elements.

Third: You can use actors, unsure if this code is correct, but it is like this: double_[_2] << string[_3] << int_[_1]

This syntax is actually: using boost::phoenix::at_c; double_[_1 = at_c<1>(_val)] << string[_1 = at_c<2>(_val)] << int_[_1 = at_c<0>(_val)] Which is much more than you ever want to write :-P (and additionally, it's much more inefficient than the 2 solutions above). There is a forth method involving Spirit's customization points, but that's merely academic... Regards Hartmut --------------- Meet me at BoostCon www.boostcon.com
