Hello, I have an AST successfully building, generating text file, and subsequently Spirit Qi parsing for verification purposes. Now I want to implement a visitor pattern over that AST, somehow... For "calculators" and such, "evaluating" those expressions is one thing; however, this AST is not that. It is closer akin to a parsed Xml or Json model/tree. In other words, I'd like for it to feel sort of like an iterator if that's even possible. It should have contextual awareness where it is at all times, etc, perhaps "incrementing" is a depth first analysis. In particular I have in mind to iterate the expected and actual AST results in order to perform the verification. In other words, I might do something like this: auto expected_it = ast_visitor{&expected}; auto actual_it = ast_visitor{&actual}; REQUIRE(expected_it); REQUIRE(actual_it); REQUIRE(*expected_it == *actual_it); // Rinse and repeat ++expected_it; ++actual_it; REQUIRE(*expected_it == *actual_it); I wonder if something like this is even possible from the Boost libraries? Or interested to hear any insights on the subject. For that matter, I wonder it is more appropriate to simply implement the logical operators. Thanks! Michael Powell
