I'm attempting to learn the boost spirit library. Working from the qi/karma XML example (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_50_0/libs/spirit/repository/example/karma/mini_xml_karma_sr.cpp), I've attempted to change the children container in mini_xml to something other than std::vector (std::list in this example, look for the mini_xml_children typedef below). Unfortunately, doing so doesn't seem to compile.
The compile error seems to indicate that phoenix is attempting to assign std::list to std::vector, which I had a little trouble explaining because there aren't any references to std::vector in my code any longer. I did a little digging - looks like boost::spirit::karma::action::generate decides to use std::vector internally rather than detecting the container mini_xml uses.
If my assumption there is correct, I think I need a way of communicating more explicitly what the 'attribute' should be. Is there an easy way to do this? Ideally, I'd like this code to be container-agnostic.

*snip*
Compiled with boost v1.50.0 in Visual Studio 2008.
Side note: I couldn't get the original example to compile without first changing karma::subrule to karma::rule. Is there an issue with subrules in 1.50.0? Is there a better workaround for the issue than what I've done?
It's another case of Boost Spirit: "Semantic actions are evil"?
If you change to list, push_back won't work, for obvious reasons. So, change
>> *node [push_back(at_c<1>(_val), _1)]
into
>> *node [phoenix::insert(at_c<1>(_val), phoenix::end(at_c<1>(_val)), _1)]
On the generator side, replace all the use of semantic actions by a simpler semantic action that allows you still rely on the attribute compatibility magic for all the rest:
karma::_a_type element_name_; // using karma::locals<std::string>
xml %=
'<' << string[element_name_ = _1] << '>'
<< *node
<< "</" << string(element_name_) << '>'
;
<rant>All in this is simply more evidence that less code is always better. Interfere less, spell out less, rely on builtin mechanisms. As soon as you interfere (by writing exact, imperative, semantic actions for attribute extraction) you lose when you want to maintain the code.</rant>
UPDATE Removed all gratuitous use of semantic actions now, so we have a Qi grammar and Karma generator that work with list and vector without any additional work. Also fixed some elements of style (no more using namespace).
This means that the above phoenix::insert(at_c<1>(_val), phoenix::end(at_c<1>(_val)), _1) is no longer needed:
qi::_a_type element_name_;
xml %=
start_tag[element_name_ = _1]
>> *node
>> end_tag(element_name_)
