UnaryParser

Notation

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

Expression	Semantics
`omit[a]`	Ignore the attribute of the subject parser, `a`

Expression	Attribute
`omit[a]`	`unused_type`

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

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

Some using declarations:

using boost::spirit::qi::omit;
using boost::spirit::qi::int_;
using boost::spirit::ascii::char_;

This parser ignores the first two characters and extracts the succeeding int:

int i;
test_parser_attr("xx345", omit[char_ >> char_] >> int_, i);
std::cout << i << std::endl; // should print 345
