Sorry if this is duplicated, I originally sent it two days ago but I never saw it appear back in my inbox as a list message (I actually haven't seen *any* messages to this list yet...is it still active?), nor have I seen any follow-up, so I thought I would send it again in case I hadn't been properly registered as one allowed to send mail when I sent it the first time.

I am having some problems having fields on my lexer of type lex::char_, specifically I get the following errors in Visual Studio 2010 SP1 with Boost 1.47

 

C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'simple'

C2886: 'boost::spirit::standard::char_' : symbol cannot be used in a member using-declaration
C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int

C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'simple'

C2886: 'boost::spirit::standard::char_' : symbol cannot be used in a member using-declaration
C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int

 

This is with the following simplified repro

 

#include <boost/spirit/include/lex_lexertl.hpp>

 

namespace lex = boost::spirit::lex;

 

template <typename Lexer>
struct lexer : lex::lexer<Lexer>
{
    lexer()
    {
        simple = lex::char_('.');
        this->self += simple;

 

        //This works, but I need/want to store the char_ object so I can later reference its token ID from the parser level:
        //this->self += lex::char_('.');
        //
        //as does this (though in my real lexer I have LOTS of token_defs and as I add more the compile time gets worse and worse):
        //
        //this->self += lex::token_def<>('.');
    }

    lex::char_ simple;
};

 

struct token_processor
{
    template <typename Token>
    bool operator()(Token const& t) const
    {
        return true;
    }
};

 

int main(int argc, char**argv[])
{
    std::string str (".");

    char const* first = str.c_str();
    char const* last = &first[str.size()];

 

    bool r = lex::tokenize(first, last, l, token_processor());

    

    return 0;
}

 

Is this a Visual Studio 'issue' or something I am doing wrong?
