Thread: Problem with a file parser.

I have a parser class that I use to parse setting files, now the parser works great except when I have have two parser running at the same time. The code of the parser.h looks like this (btw, I wrote part of the parser, not the whole thing):

Code:

#ifndef __PARSER_H__
#define __PARSER_H__

#define MAXTOKEN				1024
#define MAX_BLOCK_PROPLENGTH	64 /*!< Maximum length of a property. */
#define MAX_BLOCK_VALLENGTH		256 /*!< Maximum length of a value. */

#include "../Math/Math.h"

/**
* property-value pair.
*/
typedef struct
{
	char *property;
	char *val;
} spair_t;

/**
* Group of spairs.
*/
typedef struct
{
	int firstpair; /**< First spair. */  
	int numpairs; /**< Number of spairs. */ 
} parse_file_t;

/**
* Parser class.
* The parser class provides methods to parse files. This is specially used
* for config parsing.
*/

class Parser
{
public:
	~Parser(); /**< Destructor. */

	static int	parseFile(const char *name);
	static void StartParseBuffer(const unsigned char *buffer, const int size);
	static void StartParseString(const char *string);

	static bool GetToken(bool crossline);
	static int GetOffset(void);
	static void GoTo(const int offset);

	static char token[MAXTOKEN];				/**< buffer for tokens */
	static int scriptline;
	static int num_blocks;

	static int num_spairs; /**< Number of spairs. */

	static spair_t * spairs;
	static parse_file_t * parse_data;

	//! Gets the value corresponding to a property in an spair.
	/*!
	\param spair The spair number.
	\param property The property of spair value.
	\return A pointer to the spair value string.
	*/
	static char* spair_value(int spair, char *property);
	static char* spair_value_ex(int spair, const char *property);

	//! Gets the value corresponding to a property in an spair.
	/*!
	\param spair The spair number.
	\param property The property of spair value as a float value.
	\return The requested float value.
	*/
	static float spair_float(int spair, char *property);

	//! Gets the value corresponding to a property in an spair.
	/*!
	\param spair The spair number.
	\param property The property of spair value as a int value.
	\return The requested int value.
	*/
	static int spair_int(int spair, char *property);

	//! Gets the value corresponding to a property in an spair.
	/*!
	\param spair The spair number.
	\param property The property of spair value as a int value.
	\return The requested boolean value.
	*/
	static bool	spair_bool(int spair, char *property);

	//! Gets the value corresponding to a property in an spair.
	/*!
	\param spair The spair number.
	\param property The property of spair value as a int value.
	\return The requested VECTOR3D value.
	*/
	static vec3 spair_vec3(int spair, char *property);

	//! Gets the value corresponding to a property in an spair.
	/*!
	\param spair The spair number.
	\param property The property of spair value as a int value.
	\return The requested COLOR value.
	*/
	static vec4 spair_vec4(int spair, char *property);

protected:

	static const unsigned char *buffer;
	static const unsigned char *buf_start;
	static const unsigned char *buf_end;
};

#endif	/* __PARSER_H__ */

And to create a parser I use

Code:

Parser *conf_parser = new Parser;
conf_parser->parseFile(filename);

I can get the proper values with no problems at all in conf_parser. But if while I have conf_parser I create another Parser that new parser will parse the right values then I delete that new parser and go back to keep parsing with the first parser and all the values in spairs and parse_data are gone so my query functions always fail to give me the right values. What can I do ?
