I'm really appreciative of the testing you are all doing with parsing code and hope that at the end we can see both how fast and how clear and maintainable the various styles of parser code become (focus on accuracy, speed then perhaps more on the clarity).
Its great to see the enthusiasm and results. Looking forward to more tips once we have a fair test directly pitting spirit with expressive and other parsing methodologies.
Keep i mind that we are testing just one small aspect of parsing/ text processing. It just so happens that spirit is designed to be optimal in this *specific* use case. xpressive will definitely shine in other areas (e.g. searching, replacing). So, as always, use the right tool for the job. Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boostpro.com http://spirit.sf.net
