how to do a dynamic parser in X3?
The presentation went well, but as always with a large surface area library like Spirit it went on for too long IMO (2 hrs). This was similar to what happened when I presented Spirit 2.x almost 10 yrs ago. If I were to present on this again, I would split the topic into two talks:
- A background on recursive variant datatypes and visitor pattern and dipping into the Fusion library for adapting arbitrary application structures to Fusion tuples.
- Spirit X3 parsing w/annotations and error handling.
I try to present from real code in the IDE as much as possible so that we're looking at real code. I almost always write my own examples with the library I'm presenting and put them on github. The exception is when the library comes with an example that is everything I want to talk about
.
I cribbed quite a bit from the spirit x3 fun example presented by Michael Caisse a few years back, but I did extend the AST to handle imaginary numbers.
