I'm a spirit beginner
I'd like to parse an imperial string value into a struct using spirit.
The input should accept following syntaxes:
5'3"1/2
5'1/2
3"1/2
the struct imp_constant looks like this, please note stream operator below, I'll print results as this operator does:
struct imp_constant
{
explicit imp_constant(unsigned int feet=0
,unsigned int inch=0
,unsigned int fracn=0
,unsigned int fracd=1)
:feet_(feet),inches_(inch),fracn_(fracn),fracd_(fracd){}
unsigned int feet_,inches_,fracn_,fracd_;
};
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, imp_constant const& cst)
{
if (cst.feet_)
os << cst.feet_ << '\'';
if (cst.inches_)
os << cst.inches_ << '"';
if (cst.fracn_)
os << cst.fracn_ << '/' << cst.fracd_;
return os;
}
my pseudo grammar is pretty simple and looks like this:
myrule = (
(
(qi::uint_ >> L'\'')
||
(qi::uint_ >> L'"')
)
>> -(
qi::uint_
>> L'/' >>
qi::uint_
)
);
Here is my quite naive first try to populate my struct:
I've added BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_STRUCT macro to my struct imp_constant then tried following grammar:
qi::rule<std::string::const_iterator, imp_constant()>
impconst = qi::lexeme[ //not sure this is required since no skipper precised
(
(qi::uint_[phx::at_c<0>(qi::_val)=qi::_1] >> L'\'')
||
(qi::uint_[phx::at_c<1>(qi::_val)=qi::_1] >> L'"')
)
>> -(
qi::uint_[phx::at_c<2>(qi::_val)=qi::_1]
>> L'/' >>
qi::uint_[phx::at_c<3>(qi::_val)=qi::_1]
)
];
the result is:
input:5'3"1/2 ==> output:5'3"1/2 (ok)
input:5'1/2 ==> output:5'1"1/2 (__nok__)
I guess I don't get how _1 placeholder behaves in that case.
Since I'm beginner in spirit's world, any advice is welcome
Thank you very much

As alternatives to sehe's answer(that you should accept):
Your solution would work if you just changed your rule to:
qi::rule<std::string::const_iterator, imp_constant()>
impconst =
(
(qi::uint_ >> L'\'')[phx::at_c<0>(qi::_val)=qi::_1]
||
(qi::uint_ >> L'"')[phx::at_c<1>(qi::_val)=qi::_1]
)
>>
-(qi::uint_ >> L'/' >> qi::uint_)
[phx::at_c<2>(qi::_val)=qi::_1,phx::at_c<3>(qi::_val)=qi::_2]
;
How I would do this:
Changing slightly your imp_constant:
struct fraction
{
unsigned int n_,d_;
};
struct imp_constant
{
unsigned int feet_,inches_;
fraction frac_;
};
BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_STRUCT(fraction,
(unsigned int, n_)
(unsigned int, d_)
)
BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_STRUCT(imp_constant,
(unsigned int, feet_)
(unsigned int, inches_)
(fraction , frac_)
And then the rule would be:
qi::rule<std::string::const_iterator,unsigned int()> feet = (qi::uint_ >> L'\'') | qi::attr(0);
qi::rule<std::string::const_iterator,unsigned int()> inches = (qi::uint_ >> L'"') | qi::attr(0);
qi::rule<std::string::const_iterator,fraction()> fract = (qi::uint_ >> L'/' >> qi::uint_) | (qi::attr(0)>> qi::attr(1));
qi::rule<std::string::const_iterator, imp_constant()> impconst=feet>>inches>>fract;
