boost::urls::grammar::Rule

Concept for a grammar Rule

Synopsis

Declared in <boost/url/grammar/type_traits.hpp>
template<class T>
concept Rule = requires (T t, char const*& it, char const* end)
    {
        typename T::value_type;
        { t.parse(it, end) } -> std::same_as<system::result<typename T::value_type>>;
    };


Description

This concept is satisfied if T is a valid grammar Rule

A Rule defines an algorithm used to match an input buffer of ASCII characters against a set of syntactical specifications.

Each rule represents either a terminal symbol or a composition in the represented grammar.

The library comes with a set of rules for productions typically found in RFC documents. Rules are not invoked directly; instead, rule variables are used with overloads of parse which provide a convenient, uniform front end.

Exemplar

For best results, it is suggested that all constructors for rules be marked constexpr.

struct Rule { struct value_type; constexpr Rule( Rule const& ) noexcept = default; auto parse( char const*& it, char const* end ) const -> result< value_type >; }; // Declare a variable of type Rule for notational convenience constexpr Rule rule{};
