Directive for Transduction Parsing (raw[])
Description

The raw[] disregards the attribute of its subject parser, instead exposing the half-open range [first, last) pointing to the matched characters from the input stream. The raw[] directive brings back the classic Spirit transduction (un-attributed) behavior for a subject parser.

Header

Namespace

Name

boost::spirit::raw // alias: boost::spirit::qi::raw

Model of

UnaryParser

Notation

a

A Parser.

Iter

A ForwardIterator type.

Expression Semantics

Semantics of an expression is defined only where it differs from, or is not defined in UnaryParser.

Expression

Semantics

raw[a]

Disregard the attribute of the subject parser, a. Expose instead the half-open range [first, last) pointing to the matched characters from the input stream.

Attributes

See Compound Attribute Notation.

Expression

Attribute

raw[a]

a: A --> raw[a]: boost::iterator_range<Iter>
a: Unused --> raw[a]: Unused

[Note] Note

See boost::iterator_range.

Complexity

The complexity is defined by the complexity of the subject parser, a

Example
[Note] Note

The test harness for the example(s) below is presented in the Basics Examples section.

Some using declarations:

using boost::spirit::qi::raw;
using boost::spirit::ascii::alpha;
using boost::spirit::ascii::alnum;

This parser matches and extracts C++ identifiers:

std::string id;
test_parser_attr("James007", raw[(alpha | '_') >> *(alnum | '_')], id);
std::cout << id << std::endl; // should print James007
