Hi Everyone, This is not directly related to any of the boost libraries, but I thought people from this list may find it interesting or useful. The below are links to three posts where I tried to describe how we can parse strings at compile time and convert them to data structures, still at compile-time in C++0x with generalized constant expressions. I do not have enough time to write a library myself, but perhaps someone would be able to use such techniques for their library. I think Regular Expressions library would benefit from this technique if the compiler would be able to check the correctness of a regex.

I have personally implemented conversion between Unicode encodings at compile-time (which also works in C++03), but I never really found any compelling use for it.
