Hello there,


Spirit is an object oriented recursive descent parser generator
framework implemented using template meta-programming
techniques. Expression templates allow us to approximate the syntax of
Extended Backus Normal Form (EBNF) completely in C++. The Spirit
framework enables a target grammar to be written exclusively in
C++. EBNF grammar specifications can mix freely with other C++ code
and, thanks to the generative power of C++ templates, are immediately
executable. In retrospect, conventional compiler-compilers or
parser-generators have to perform an additional translation step from
the source EBNF code to C or C++ code.


The documentation and source code can be found at
http://isis-tech.n3.net. I would appreciate feedback and comments.
