Mike Gresens commented on THRIFT-4156:
--------------------------------------
How does a boost spirit parser look like?
You can have a look in the attached files.
It's from a prototype - incomplete.
But you can see the basic concepts.
The parser consumes a stream and produces an AST.
> Using boost spirit instead of lex and yacc

> Key: THRIFT-4156
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4156
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compiler (General)
> Reporter: Mike Gresens

> As a developer I want to use boost spirit to get rid of lex and yacc.
> This kicks dependency to lex, flex, yacc, bison or what ever.
> This makes building easier, because only c++ code must be compiled.
> All grammar is inside the code - all c++. No need to learn ll and yy.
