Release Name: 1.6.3
Notes:
Changes: Spirit Change Log 1.8.3 * Config correction for Sun C++ by Steve Clamage (see this link). * Fixed multi_pass_iterator for 64 platforms, where sizeof(int) != sizeof(ptr_type). Fixed bug that prevents the use of closures with grammars with multiple entry points, reported by David Pierre * Fixed bug that prevented embedding of grammars with multiple entry points, reported by David Pierre * Added '\0' to the set of valid escaped characters for escape_ch_p. * Fixed a switch_p bug when used with a phoenix::actor as the conditional expression. * __LINE__ macro now gets expanded in BOOST_SPIRIT_ASSERT_EXCEPTION * Fixed a bug in the intersection parser reported by Yusaku Sugai * The symbol parser uses the null character internally. Checks were added so that: * tst.add asserts if string contains the null character * tst.find doesn't match null characters in the input * Fixed match_attr_traits.ipp to allow non-POD to pass through. The previous version taking in the ellipsis "..." does not allow PODs to pass through. * Allow evaluation to int as condition to if_p parser. * Applied performance improvement changes to the PT/AST code as suggested by Stefan Slapeta. * Fixed several problems with AST tree node directives (inner_node_d[], discard_first_node[], discard_last_node[] and infix_node_d[]). 1.8.2 Maintenance release (almost the same as 1.8.1 plus a few fixes here and there) * Fixed bug where a match<T> is a variant. * added Jamfile/Jamrules from CVS to spirit-1.8.1/ * added boost-build.jam from boost to spirit-1.8.1/ * disabled template multi-threading in libs/spirit/test/Jamfile * added a boost-header-include rule (from spirit-header-include) pointing to miniboost in libs/spirit/test/Jamfile * Fixed if_p inconsistency 1.6.2 The Spirit 1.6.2 release is a bug-fix release only, no new features were introduced. * wchar_t friendly implementation of graph_p * Modified escape_char_parser::parse() to use a static parser instead of a rule. This will make it more friendly to use in trees. It should also be a little more efficient. * Moved to Boost Software license 1.0. * workaround for Error 322 name lookup in base class specialization finds type * fixed limit_d bug * [numerics] Workaround for aC++ * Fixed a bug in the switch_p parser. * Fixed a EOI problem in multi_pass * added Jamfile/Jamrules from CVS to spirit-1.6.1/ * added boost-build.jam from boost to spirit-1.6.1/ * disabled template multi-threading in libs/spirit/test/Jamfile * added a boost-header-include rule (from spirit-header-include) pointing to miniboost in libs/spirit/test/Jamfile 1.8.1 (Released with Boost 1.32.0) The Spirit 1.8.1 release is a bug-fix release only, no new features were introduced. * Spirit now requires at least Boost 1.32.0 to compile correctly * Removed the support for the older iterator adaptor library and * Moved to use the new MPL library * Spirit was moved to use the Boost Software License 1.0. * Fixed several parsers to support post-skips more correctly. * Fixed a no_node_d[] bug. * Fixed a bug in shortest_d[]. * Fixed a bug in limit_d[]. * Fixed parser traversal meta code. * Fixed several bugs in switch_p. * Fixed AST generating problems, in particular with the loops related parsers. * Fixed several bugs in the multi_pass iterator. o Fixed a problem, when the used base iterator returned a value_type and not a reference from its dereferencing operator. o Fixed iterator_traits problem o Fixed an EOI problem o Fixed a bug, when used with std::cin * Found a bug in grammar.ipp when BOOST_SPIRIT_SINGLE_GRAMMAR_INSTANCE is defined * Rewritten safe_bool to use CRTP - now works also on MWCW, fixed several bugs with the implementation. * Fixed and extended the debug diagnostics printed by the parse tree code. 1.8.0 (Released with Boost 1.31.0; Includes unreleased 1.7.1) * Fixed a wchar_t problem in the regex_p parser. * removed code and workarounds for old compilers (VC6/7 and Borland) * Changed license to the new boost license. * Modified escape_char_parser::parse() to use a static parser instead of a rule. This will make it more friendly to use in trees. It should also be a little more efficient. 1.7.1 (Unreleased; becomes 1.8.0) * Added a full suite of predefined actors. * Moved rule_alias and stored_rule from core/non-terminal to dynamic. Made as_parser a public API in meta/as_parser.hpp * Separated Core.Meta into its own module * Refactored Utility module Moved some files into Utility.Parsers * utilities o parsers + chset, regex, escape_char confix, list, distinct functor_parser * support o scoped_lock flush_multi_pass grammar_def * actors o assign * Stored rules * Added the switch_p and select_p dynamic parsers. * Multiple scanner support for rules. * The Rule's Scanner, Context and Tag template parameters can be specified in any order now. If a template parameter is missing, it will assume the defaults. See test/rule_tests.cpp. * Introduced the possibility to specify more than one start rule from a grammar. * Added an implementation of the file_iterator iterator based on the new Boost iterator_adaptors (submitted originally by Thomas Witt). [The transition to the new iterator_adaptors should be complete now.] * Added an implementation of the fixed_size_queue iterator based on the new Boost iterator_adaptors. * wchar_t friendly implementation of graph_p * made the copy-constructor and assignment-operator of parser_error_base public to clear VC7.1 C4673 warning. Added copy-constructor and assignment operator to parser_error for clarity of intent. 1.7.0 * assign(string) semantic action now works in VC6 * parsers need not be default constructible * simplified aggregation of binary and unary parsers (more compiler friendly) * epsilon workarounds for VC++ * match's attribute now uses boost.optional * subrules can now have closures * project wide 64 bit compatibility * dynamic_parser_tag, reissue of rule.set_id(id); * numerous primitives improvements and workarounds for problematic compilers * proper complement (~) of single char parser primitives and chsets * intuitive handling of lexeme_d * wide_phrase_scanner_t typedef * dynamic parser improvements (better support for more compilers) * complete rewrite of the file_iterator (using boost.iterator_adapters). Supports memory maps wherever available * multi_pass updates (compatibility with more compilers (e.g VC7) and more) * position_iterator improvements * better phoenix support for more compilers * phoenix new_(...) construct * new lazy_p parser * utility.distinct parser (undocumented) * chset operators improvements * confix_p streamlining and improvements * numerous Boost integration improvements Bug fixes (1.7.0 and 1.6.0) * Fixed. Using MSVC++6 (SP5), calling the assign action with a string value on parsers using the file_iterator will not work. * Fixed: using assign semantic action in a grammar with a multi_pass iterator adaptor applied to an std::istream_iterator resulted in a failure to compile under msvc 7.0. * Fixed: There is a bug in the "range_run<CharT>::set (range<CharT> const& r)" function in the "boost\spirit\utility\impl\chset\range_run.ipp". * Fixed: handling of trailing whitespace bug (ast_parse/pt_parse related) * Fixed: comment_p and end of data bug * Fixed: Most trailing space bug: * Fixed: chset<>::operator~(range<>) bug operator&(chset<>, range<>) bug operator&(range<>, chset<>) bug * Fixed: impl::detach_clear bug * Fixed: mismatch closure return type bug * Fixed: access_node_d[] and access_match_d[] iterator bugs * Fixed a bug regarding threadsafety of Phoenix/Spirit closures. * Added missing include files to miniboost
