Re: [boost] [spirit] rule<> and copying

Hi,

I've been using spirit for some config-file parsing. I have some questions:

1. why can we not copy a rule<> ?

You can use a stored_rule to do what you want.

2. if we shouldn't copy a rule, why is copying not disabled? It has been a source of errors in my code that I forgot & on my return value.

I believe http://www.boost.org/libs/spirit/doc/stored_rule.html answers this question. Cheers, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net
