I am trying to parse 2 different type of strings and assign values into structures. For performance I am trying to use boost spirit subrules.
strings can be of the following types
Animal Type | Animal Attributes
Ex
DOG | Name=tim | Barks=Yes | Has a Tail=N | Address=3 infinite loop
BIRD| Name=poc | Tweets=Yes| Address=10 stack overflow street
The values are stored in an array of Dog and Bird structures below
#define BOOST_SPIRIT_USE_PHOENIX_V3
#include <boost/config/warning_disable.hpp>
#include <boost/spirit/include/qi.hpp>
#include <boost/spirit/repository/include/qi_subrule.hpp>
#include <boost/spirit/include/qi_symbols.hpp>
#include <boost/spirit/include/phoenix.hpp>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
using std::cerr;
struct Dog
{
std::string Name;
bool Barks;
bool HasATail;
std::string Address;
};
struct Bird
{
std::string Name;
bool Tweets;
std::string Address;
};
namespace qi = boost::spirit::qi;
namespace repo = boost::spirit::repository;
namespace ascii = boost::spirit::ascii;
namespace phx = boost::phoenix;
template <typename Iterator>
struct ZooGrammar : public qi::grammar<Iterator, ascii::space_type>
{
ZooGrammar() : ZooGrammar::base_type(start_)
{
using qi::char_;
using qi::lit_;
using qi::_1;
using boost::phoenix::ref;
boost::spirit::qi::symbols<char, bool> yesno_;
yesno_.add("Y", true)("N", false);
start_ = (
dog_ | bird_,
dog_ = "DOG" >> lit_[ref(d.Name) = _1]>> '|'
>>"Barks=">>yesno_[ref(d.Barks) = _1] >>'|'
>>"Has a Tail=">>yesno_[ref(d.HasATail) = _1] >> '|'
>>lit_[ref(d.Address) = _1]
,
bird_ = "BIRD" >> lit_[ref(b.Name) = _1]>> '|'
>>"Tweets=">>yesno_[ref(b.Tweets) = _1] >>'|'
>>lit_[ref(b.Address) = _1]
);
}
qi::rule<Iterator, ascii::space_type> start_;
repo::qi::subrule<0> dog_;
repo::qi::subrule<1> bird_;
Bird b;
Dog d;
};
int main()
{
std::string test1="DOG | Name=tim | Barks=Yes | Has a Tail=N | Address=3 infinite loop";
std::string test2="BIRD| Name=poc | Tweets=Yes| Address=10 stack overflow street";
using boost::spirit::ascii::space;
typedef std::string::const_iterator iterator_type;
typedef ZooGrammar<iterator_type> grammar;
iterator_type start = test1.begin();
iterator_type end = test1.end();
ZooGrammar g;
if(boost::spirit::qi::phrase_parse(start, end, g, space))
{
cout<<"matched"<<endl;
}
}
The code above crashes the compiler GCC 4.8 and 4.9. I don't know where I am making the mistake.
Please test run the code above in Coliru link
Many thanks in advance !
Subrules are a bit antiquated. To be honest, I didn't even know there was still such a thing in Spirit V2.
I suggest using regular Spirit V2 attribute propagation, which makes things a bit more readable at once:
dog_ = qi::lit("DOG") >> '|' >> "Name=" >> lit_ >> '|'
>> "Barks=" >> yesno_ >> '|'
>> "Has a Tail=" >> yesno_ >> '|'
>> "Address=" >> lit_
;
bird_ = qi::lit("BIRD") >> '|' >> "Name=" >> lit_ >> '|'
>> "Tweets=" >> yesno_ >> '|'
>> "Address=" >> lit_
;
start_ = dog_ | bird_;
I've imagined a lit_ rule (as qi::lit_ doesn't ring any bells):
lit_ = qi::lexeme [ *~qi::char_('|') ];
Of course, you need to adapt the attribute types as far as they don't have builtin support (as with boost::variant<Dog, Bird>, std::string and bool which are all handled without any additional code):
BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_STRUCT(Dog,
(std::string, Name)(bool, Barks)(bool, HasATail)(std::string, Address))
BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_STRUCT(Bird,
(std::string, Name)(bool, Tweets)(std::string, Address))
Now with the program extended to print some debug information, output is: Live On Coliru
Matched: [DOG|Name=tim |Barks=Yes|Has a Tail=No|Address=3 infinite loop]
Matched: [BIRD|Name=poc |Tweets=Yes|Address=10 stack overflow street]
