(Looks like you'll need to be smart about not matching braces that are in string literals.)
Yeah, you are right, also braces in comments. But I think that is the main issues to look out for -- that is if I ignore the posibility of unbalanced braces in macro definitions and conditional compiles, uhhhh ;-( ---- I don't like to think of all that yet. I have done some attempts on string litorials and comments, but I was hampered by the problems posted earlier. I left it out ot the code I sent since it did not seem to be needed to produce the bug. I will download from the CVS or Vault now and see if can moove forward again, I am hopefull, thanks to your fixes :-) When we discuss the issue of string literals, do you have any suggestion of how to best match string literals static regexp sregexp string_literal = '"' >> -*_ >> ( quote that is not escaped); a naive attempt: sregex literal_string_end = ~as_xpr( '\\' ) >> '"'; sregex string_literal = as_xpr( '"' ) >> before( literal_string_end ) >> '"'; I don't know if this even will work as I think it may, since I am a litle confused about the meaning of before(...). regards Bjørn
