I try to tokenize a c-string with semicolon separated digits and store them in a vector. This is my simplified approach
auto string = "1;2;3;4";
const std::regex separator {";"};
std::cregex_token_iterator t_begin{string, string + strlen(string), separator, -1};
std::cregex_token_iterator t_end{};
auto begin = boost::make_transform_iterator(t_begin, atoi);
auto end = boost::make_transform_iterator(t_end, atoi);
std::vector<int> result{begin, end};
I get the error message:
error: no type named 'type' in 'boost::mpl::eval_if<boost::is_same<boost::iterators::use_default, boost::iterators::use_default>, boost::result_of<const int(std::sub_match<const char*>&)>, boost::mpl::identity<boost::iterator::use_default> >::f_{aka struct boost::result_of<const int(const std::sub_match<const char*>&)>}'
typedef typename f_::type type;
which I don't understand.
std::cregex_token_iterator, when dereferenced, returns a std::sub_match of a corresponding type. In this case, it's a pair of const char* pointers, so a possible solution is as follows:
auto f = [] (std::csub_match m) { return std::atoi(m.first); };
auto begin = boost::make_transform_iterator(t_begin, f);
auto end = boost::make_transform_iterator(t_end, f);
