Re: [cpp-netlib-devel] Reusable filter chain design problem.

[Reetesh M. <ree...@gm...>]

I also have similar views.

Actually there was an effort called Boost.Join (
http://channel.sourceforge.net/) which dealt with similar set of problem. Of
course signal network library also gives hints towards possible design
methodologies.

For example if we have an http socket, and suppose we have to parse for an
image object, we can have,

read_until(http,image);

or http >> image.

If we have multiple objects say image, table etc., we can have following
model,

http >> +(image | model).

boost spirit 2 has output/input models like karma, lex we need similar type
of modules here also. In future we may look for embedding pi-calculus (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi-calculus) in C++, the way lambda calculus
has been embedded in phoenix.
