Spirit - Cannot get my actors straight - Boost-users

13 Aug 2007

      Hi,

I'm trying to create a parser that shall create a number of derived 
classes based on the input, put it in a shared_ptr<Base> and push_back 
to a vector.

Example:

"Alpha" => vec.push_back(shared_ptr<Base>(new Alpha()))
"Beta[1]" => vec.push_back(shared_ptr<Base>(new Beta(1)))
"Gamma[2-3]" => vec.push_back(shared_ptr<Base>(new Gamma(2, 3)))
"Gamma[4-End]" => vec.push_back(shared_ptr<Base>(new Gamma(4)))

I've defined the actor as [push_back_a(self.vec, BasePtr(new Alpha()))], 
but that obviously doesn't work as BasePtr(new Alpha()) creates a 
temporary shared_ptr that will be destroyed by the end of the statement. 
How can I delay the creation of the shared_ptr, and how can I delay the 
new statement?

Using Boost 1.34.1, MSVC++ 2005.

Thanks,
Anders Dalvander
