Much of static xpressive's syntax is owes a large debt to <a href="http://spirit.sourceforge.net" target="_top">Spirit</a>, including the syntax for 35 xpressive's semantic actions. I am thankful for <a href="http://boost.org/people/john_maddock.htm" target="_top">John 36 Maddock</a>'s excellent work on his proposal to add regular expressions 37 to the standard library, and for various ideas borrowed liberally from his 38 regex implementation. I'd also like to thank <a href="http://moderncppdesign.com/" target="_top">Andrei 39 Alexandrescu</a> for his input regarding the behavior of nested regex objects, 40 and <a href="http://boost.org/people/dave_abrahams.htm" target="_top">Dave Abrahams</a> 41 for his suggestions regarding the regex domain-specific embedded language. 42 Noel Belcourt helped porting xpressive to the Metrowerks CodeWarrior compiler. 43 Markus Schöpflin helped to track down a bug on HP Tru64, and Steven Watanabe 44 suggested the fix. 45 </p> 46<p> 47 Special thanks are due to David Jenkins who contributed both ideas, code and 48 documentation for xpressive's semantic actions, symbol tables and attributes. 49 Xpressive's ternary search trie implementation is David's, as is the number 50 parser example in <code class="literal">libs/xpressive/example/numbers.cpp</code> and 51 the documentation for symbol tables and attributes. 52 </p> 53<p> 54 Thanks to John Fletcher for helping track down a runtime assertion when using 55 xpressive with Howard Hinnant's most excellent libc++. 56 </p> 57<p> 58 Finally, I would like to thank <a href="http://boost.org/people/thomas_witt.html" target="_top">Thomas 59 Witt</a> for acting as xpressive's review manager. 60 </p> 61</div> 62<table xmlns:rev="http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~gregod/boost/tools/doc/revision" width="100%"><tr> 63<td align="left"></td> 64<td align="right"><div class="copyright-footer">Copyright © 2007 Eric Niebler<p> 65 Distributed under the Boost Software License, Version 1.0.
