This article describes a sample parser of reg files using the Boost Spirit Parser Framework. We'll discuss why we use the curtain libraries and make one or another solution, algorithm, and also tests.
#ifndef _REG_FILE_PARSER_H_
#define _REG_FILE_PARSER_H_

#include <string>
#include <utility>

#include "IRegFileObserver.hpp"
#include "RegFileParserImpl.hpp"

namespace reg_parser
{

template<class charT>
class CRegFileParser:public IResultProcessor<charT>
{	
    typedef std::pair<const charT*,const charT*> BuferRange;
    BuferRange lastVName_;
	
	IRegFileObserver<charT>* pObserver_;
   
    bool bLastVNameProcessed_;
public:
	CRegFileParser(IRegFileObserver<charT>* pObserver)
		: pObserver_(pObserver)
		, bLastVNameProcessed_(true)
	{}

	bool Parse(const charT* buffer)
	{
		return ParseRegFileImpl(buffer,this);
	}

private:
	void OnKeyFound(const charT* begin, const charT* end)
	{

	}
