It would be good if you could submit your code as a case in optimizing expressive code.
Where and how would you have me do so? I can see developing a performance tuning example from it to put in the documentation. I don't know how much of that Eric has in mind already or if he is interested in such an addition (of his own doing or mine).
This has been an incredibly useful thread. Thanks to you all.
As a potential user put off in the past by concerns over abstraction penalties with such libraries (even compile time libraries often fail to deliver in all but simple cases), I urge Eric to embrace such an example to illustrate just how powerful and maintainable a solution based on expressive can be.
I think this is a fine idea. All these tips and tricks are already described in a doc, but they are not described in depth from an end-user perspective. I think a performance tuning case study would make a valuable appendix. Robert, can you send me the latest version of your regex grammar and your hand-coded parser? I'll see what I can do. -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
