Where are you getting that from? It makes no sense whatsoever given the struct full_it_t { std::string val; }, which is similarly mapped, and ruled, etc.

This might be wrong, but it's how I read the docs: The output of parsing is a Fusion sequence of the attributes that were parsed. So the output of id >> *(char_('.') >> id) is something like (but not exactly) tuple<string> tuple tuple etc string because that's the output attribute declared for id. char because you've used char_ instead of using '.' by itself (otherwise it would just disappear). And the latter two can be repeated zero or more times because you've used *. When you assign this to a rule with %=, it tries to best-fit this against the rule's declared output attribute. full_id_t contains a single string field, so the Fusion adaptation makes it equivalent to tuple<string>, and apparently this results in any additional values being discarded, not in concatenating as you expect. You can probably use an explicit semantic action to build a single string instead of using %=. Or you can make full_id_t contain vector<string> as rmawatson and I previously suggested, which should give you all the values. Another possibility, which I can't test because coliru appears to be grumpy at present, is to try using: full_id %= as_string[lexeme[id >> *(char_('.') >> id)]];
