For Spirit support, there are several options available. You can direct your questions to Spirit’s mailing list, the Spirit IRC channel, the Boost IRC channel, or even secure consulting and development services.<\/p>\n
You can subscribe to the Spirit-general mailing list here<\/a>. You can also read, post, and search mailing list messages through an NNTP news portal, courtesy of gmane.org<\/a>, via either gmane<\/a> or nabble<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can get Spirit support via the Should you need consulting and development services you can contact\u00a0Ciere Consulting<\/a>. Ciere Consulting offers modern C++ development, including Spirit<\/a>\u00a0development and Boost\/C++ training. “We love solving problems.”<\/p>\n Those answering support questions are volunteers. Many are developers or contributors to Spirit’s code or documentation. In order to make providing you with technical support as easy as possible on the volunteers who might answer your questions, please provide a minimal<\/em><\/strong> test case that exhibits your problem.<\/p>\n Your test case should be in the form of a single source file complete with a The following code exemplifies what is meant by minimal code:<\/p>\n That code is stripped down to the most essential functionality, while still providing enough information to point out the problem.

Ideally, you should include logic to report whether the result is what’s expected. For example, if your parsing should produce certain values, then test for those values and report whether they were found.<\/p>\n#include <cstring>\r\n#include <iostream>\r\n#include <string>\r\n#include <boost\/spirit\/include\/qi.hpp>\r\n\r\nint main(void)\r\n{\r\n using namespace boost::spirit;\r\n using namespace boost::spirit::qi;\r\n char const * first = \"...\";\r\n char const * last = first + std::strlen(first);\r\n rule<char const *, char ()> dot;\r\n dot %= char_('.');\r\n std::string h;\r\n if (parse(first, last, +dot, h))\r\n {\r\n std::cout << \"success: '\" << h << '\\'';\r\n }\r\n else\r\n {\r\n std::cout << \"parse error\";\r\n }\r\n std::cout << std::endl;\r\n}\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\nboost::spirit::qi::parse()<\/code> is given in main()<\/code>.<\/p>\nShare this:<\/h3>
