Even so, I can't really bring myself to back down. Spirit is looked at being the "way of doing language" in C++ these days, which is a crying shame. There are better tools than Spirit.
Spirit is *not* the best way of making a parser. Is ANTLR? I don't know. But Spirit is clever more than it is useful.
Does that make me a bad person for saying so? Maybe. Am I big enough and old enough and, yes, experienced enough to say so here, and anywhere, and wear the consequences? Yes.
As a user of both Spirit and ANTLR, I am aware of the merits of each. I enjoy this topic very much but it would be nice to hit the reset button on this thread. -- Sohail Somani http://uint32t.blogspot.com
