Spirit phrase_parse expects 6 arguments instead of 5


A follow up to this question Handling boost spirit expression on string. Again thanks @sehe! But when I try to wrap all the grammar and ast in the namespaces and call them from within a class, I get an error by the phrase_parse api saying its expecting 6 arguments instead of 5.

The code I'm trying to implement:

Which other argument is it expecting and how do I fix this?


Solution

  • Your string isn't const, so the iterator type doesn't match the one you declared. The key message is:

    boost/spirit/home/qi/reference.hpp|43 col 35| note: cannot convert ‘first’ (type ‘__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<char*, __cxx11::basic_string<char> >’) to type ‘__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<const char*, __cxx11::basic_string<char> >&’

    Simply add const or const&:

    int Execute_expression(std::string const& str)
    

    Or don't use auto to declare f and l:

    std::string::const_iterator f = std::begin(str), l = std::end(str);
