Hi,

I wonder how qi::symbols parser behaves when it contains partially overlapping symbols. For example:

qi::symbols< char, int > syms; syms.add("a", 1); syms.add("aaa", 2);

What will this parser return when "aaa" is passed as input? I couldn't find it in the docs.

"aaa" will return 2 while "a" will return 1. I'll make it clear in the docs. Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boostpro.com http://boost-spirit.com
