Hi Chris,
Two questions:
1) What are the upper limits on the kinds of parsers you can build? 2) How does the library compare to boost::spirit? Is there some reason you did not build it on to of that existing library?
1) I haven't constructed parsers yet, that were too complex for the compilers I've been testing with, thus I don't know the limits yet. 2) Parsers built with Spirit parse at runtime, while parsers built with Metaparse parse at compile-time and can produce things that can affect the compilation process. I've added this to the documentation (index.html). I can't see how it could be built on top of Spirit. Regards, Abel
