Thanks for this!
Apologies for the long delay in replying.
A couple of comments:
1) Is there a reason why you created separate components instead of simply extending the existing set of binary parsers/generators?
It seemed like it would be a lot more work. I'm guessing I would need to add a new template parameter or maybe use the preprocessor, since the classes have a few integer<> types inside. Can you suggest a better way?
2) What's the rationale for not using/extending the endian classes in Spirit, but providing your own set of independent endian types?
See response above :) Another thing I wasn't too happy with was the fact that they are in the integer namespace. Perhaps they should be moved out of there, since endianness doesn't apply only to integers.
3) If this is to be included into Spirit we'd need the corresponding docs as well.
A few more test cases couldn't hurt either. I discovered I missed an asterisk in the generate_to line of bin_float_generator. Is there a guide for adding docs to boost?
Boost Spirit uses quickbook. Please check out the Spirit docs. Here's a link to quickbook: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/doc/html/quickbook.html
Vitaly, the proper forum for this is the Spirit general or devel mailing list: See Boost.Spirit lists here: http://www.boost.org/community/groups.html Can we please move the discussions there?

Thanks Joel. Moving conversation to more appropriate location. Cheers, Vitaly
