As an update from me, I'm giving Boost.Spirit a shot.
It's super cool! This is my first time using a dedicated domain-specific embedded language in C++ and so far, the experience has been a little alien but overall, it's been pleasant. Spirit offers a lot of power for parsing things in C++ and I'm glad I took the time to learn it.
Unless you really want the 'embedded' part, you could write a simple recursive descent parser with much less headache!Originally Posted by MutantJohn
Also, the last time I tried Spirit was a few years ago. Is it still *really* slow to compile?
I remember it significantly slowing down the build time of my toy programming language.
Dammit, I've already gone too far though!
I see regexes and I wanna vomit now. Spirit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> any regex ever
I've just broken open the Tkinter GUI API for Python. Compared to GTK3+ with C, it's just so much simpler to use, and the overall aesthetic of the graphics is superior. Just creating the usual basic text editor program at the moment.
