I'm new to both C++ and Boost spirit.
I'm stuck on this for a day now. I want to parse two strings separated by a dot. basically, I need following strings to be parsed to an integer.
eg: [field] --> integer // working
eg2: [instance.field] --> integer // not working
For the 2nd one, I need to take two strings as parameters and evaluate them and return the relevant integer value.
I must have missed a basic thing, but I can't figure it out.
Please let me know the error in my code or a better way to do it. calling a method and getting the value is needed. I can't change that.
this is the code peace.

Well, you say it's a function with multiple arguments, but then you only pass one arg: _1.
How can that work? It can't. It's also completely what you even want to pass, because the second parameter is likely from the instanceField expression, but the first is ... magical context.
Like always, I'd try to minimize state and semantic actions. In fact, I'd suggest separation of concerns:
std:vector<std::string> firstThat would lead to a grammar like
template <typename Iterator>
struct path : qi::grammar<Iterator, std::deque<std::string>()> {
path() : path::base_type(start) {
using namespace qi;
name = +(graph - char_(".][")); // not matching spaces please
qualifiedName = name % '.';
start = skip(ascii::space) ['[' >> qualifiedName >> ']'];
BOOST_SPIRIT_DEBUG_NODES((start)(qualifiedName)(name))
}
private:
qi::rule<Iterator, std::deque<std::string>(), qi::ascii::space_type> qualifiedName;
qi::rule<Iterator, std::string()> name;
qi::rule<Iterator, std::deque<std::string>()> start;
};
You can of course combine it using a semantic action if you insist:
template <typename Iterator>
struct property : qi::grammar<Iterator, int()> {
property() : property::base_type(start) {
using namespace qi;
name = +(graph - char_(".][")); // not matching spaces please
qualifiedName = name % '.';
start = skip(ascii::space) ['[' >> qualifiedName >> ']']
[_val = phx::bind(lookup, phx::cref(sample), _1) ]
;
BOOST_SPIRIT_DEBUG_NODES((start)(qualifiedName)(name))
}
private:
qi::rule<Iterator, std::deque<std::string>(), qi::ascii::space_type> qualifiedName;
qi::rule<Iterator, std::string()> name;
qi::rule<Iterator, int()> start;
};
Now, just implement a function
int lookup(Node const& context, std::deque<std::string> path);
As an example, let's imagine a sample context:
using Leaf = int;
using Node = boost::make_recursive_variant< Leaf, std::map<std::string, boost::recursive_variant_> >::type;
using SubTree = std::map<std::string, Node>;
static Node sample = SubTree {
{ "simple", 100 },
{ "compound", SubTree {
{ "first", 200 },
{ "second", 300 },
}, },
{ "deep", SubTree {
{ "nested", SubTree {
{ "compound", SubTree {
{ "buried", 400 },
{ "secrets", 500 },
}, }, }, }, }, }
};
Now, an implementation of lookup could be as simple as:
int lookup(Node const& context, std::deque<std::string> path) {
if (path.empty())
return boost::get<Leaf>(context);
auto& sub = boost::get<SubTree>(context);
auto element = path.front();
path.pop_front();
try {
return lookup(sub.at(element), std::move(path));
} catch(std::out_of_range const& e) {
throw std::runtime_error("'" + element + "' not found");
}
}
//#define BOOST_SPIRIT_DEBUG
#include <boost/spirit/include/qi.hpp>
#include <boost/spirit/include/phoenix.hpp>

namespace qi = boost::spirit::qi;
namespace phx = boost::phoenix;
using Leaf = int;
using Node = boost::make_recursive_variant< Leaf, std::map<std::string, boost::recursive_variant_> >::type;
using SubTree = std::map<std::string, Node>;
static Node sample = SubTree {
{ "simple", 100 },
{ "compound", SubTree {
{ "first", 200 },
{ "second", 300 },
}, },
{ "deep", SubTree {
{ "nested", SubTree {

int lookup(Node const& context, std::deque<std::string> path) {
if (path.empty())
return boost::get<Leaf>(context);
auto& sub = boost::get<SubTree>(context);
auto element = path.front();
path.pop_front();
try {
return lookup(sub.at(element), std::move(path));
} catch(std::out_of_range const& e) {
throw std::runtime_error("'" + element + "' not found");
}
