TL;DR

How to parse the result of a boost::spirit grammar into an std::set?

Full problem statement

As an exercise to learn how to use boost::spirit, I am designing a parser for X.500/LDAP Distinguished Names. The grammar can be found in a BNF format in the RFC-1779.

I "unrolled" it and translated it into boost::spirit rules. That's the first step. Basically, a DN is a set of RDN (Relative Distinguished Names) which themselves are tuples of (Key,Value) pairs.

I think about using

typedef std::unordered_map<std::string, std::string> rdn_type;

to represent each RDN. The RDNs are then gathered into a std::set<rdn_type>

My issue is that going through the (good) documentation of boost::spirit, I didn't find out how to populate the set.

My current code can be found on github and I'm trying to refine it whenever I can.

Starting a satanic dance to summon SO's most popular polar bear :p

Current code

In order to have an all-at-one-place question, I add a copy of the code here, it's a bit long so I put it at the end :)

namespace qi = boost::spirit::qi;
namespace ascii = boost::spirit::ascii;
namespace phoenix = boost::phoenix;

typedef std::unordered_map<std::string, std::string> dn_key_value_map;

template <typename Iterator>
struct dn_grammar_common : public qi::grammar<Iterator, std::multiset<dn_key_value_map>(), ascii::space_type> {
  struct dn_reserved_chars_ : public qi::symbols<char, char> {
    dn_reserved_chars_() {
      add
        ("\\", "\\")
        ("=" , "=")
        ("+" , "+")
        ("," , ",")
        (";" , ";")
        ("#" , "#")
        ("<" , "<")
        (">" , ">")
        ("\"", "\"")
        ("%" , "%");
    }
  } dn_reserved_chars;
  dn_grammar_common() : dn_grammar_common::base_type(dn) {
    // Useful using directives
    using namespace qi::labels;

    // Low level rules
    // Key can only contain alphanumerical characters and dashes
    key = ascii::no_case[qi::lexeme[(*qi::alnum) >> (*(qi::char_('-') >> qi::alnum))]];
    escaped_hex_char = qi::lexeme[(&qi::char_("\\")) >> qi::repeat(2)[qi::char_("0-9a-fA-F")]];
    escaped_sequence = escaped_hex_char |
                      qi::lexeme[(&qi::char_("\\")) >> dn_reserved_chars];
    // Rule for a fully escaped string (used as Attribute Value) => "..."
    quote_string = qi::lexeme[qi::lit('"') >>
      *(escaped_sequence | (qi::char_ - qi::char_("\\\""))) >>
      qi::lit('"')
    ];
    // Rule for an hexa string (used as Attribute Value) => #23AD5D...
    hex_string = (&qi::char_("#")) >> *qi::lexeme[(qi::repeat(2)[qi::char_("0-9a-fA-F")])];

    // Value is either:
    // - A regular string (that can contain escaped sequences)
    // - A fully escaped string (that can also contain escaped sequences)
    // - An hexadecimal string
    value = (qi::lexeme[*((qi::char_ - dn_reserved_chars) | escaped_sequence)]) |
            quote_string |
            hex_string;

    // Higher level rules
    rdn_pair = key >> '=' >> value;
    // A relative distinguished name consists of a sequence of pairs (Attribute = AttributeValue)
    // Separated with a +
    rdn = rdn_pair % qi::char_("+");
    // The DN is a set of RDNs separated by either a "," or a ";".
    // The two separators can coexist in a given DN, though it is not
    // recommended practice.
    dn = rdn % (qi::char_(",;"));
  }
  qi::rule<Iterator, std::set<dn_key_value_map>(), ascii::space_type> dn;
  qi::rule<Iterator, dn_key_value_map(), ascii::space_type> rdn;
  qi::rule<Iterator, std::pair<std::string, std::string>(), ascii::space_type> rdn_pair;
  qi::rule<Iterator, std::string(), ascii::space_type> key, value, hex_string, quote_string;
  qi::rule<Iterator, std::string(), ascii::space_type> escaped_hex_char, escaped_sequence;
};

回答1:

I suspect you just need fusion/adapted/std_pair.hpp

Let me try to make it compile

your start rule was incompatible

 qi::rule<Iterator, std::multiset<dn_key_value_map>(), ascii::space_type> dn;

the symbol table should map to string, not char
```
struct dn_reserved_chars_ : public qi::symbols<char, std::string> {
```
or you should change the mapped values to char literals.

Why do you use this, instead of char_("\\=+,;#<>\"%")?

Update

Have completed my review of the Grammar (purely from the implementation point-of-view, so I haven't actually read the RFC to check the assumptions).

I created a pull request here: https://github.com/Rerito/pkistore/pull/1

General Notes
- unordered maps aren't sortable, so used map<string,string>
- the outer set is technically not a set (?) in the RFC, made it a vector (also makes the output between relative domain names correspond more to input order)
- removed superstitious includes (Fusion set/map are completely unrelated to std::set/map. Just need std_pair.hpp for maps to work)
Grammar rules:
- symbols<char,char> requires char values (not "." but '.')
- Many simplifications
  - remove &char_(...) instances (they don't match anything, it's just an assertion)
  - remove impotent no_case[]
  - removed unnecessary lexeme[] directives; most have been realized by removing the skipper from the rule declarations
  - removed some rule declarations at all (the rule def aren't complex enough to warrant the overhead incurred), e.g. hex_string
  - made key require at least one character (not checked the specs). Note how
```
key = ascii::no_case[qi::lexeme[(*qi::alnum) >> (*(qi::char_('-') >> qi::alnum))]];
```
    became
```
key = raw[ alnum >> *(alnum | '-') ];
```
    raw means that the input sequence will be reflected verbatim (instead of building a copy character by character)
  - reordered branches on value (not checked, but I wager unqouted strings would basically eat everything else)
  - made hexchar expose the actual data using qi::int_parser<char, 16, 2, 2>
Tests

Added a test program test.cpp, based on the Examples section in the rfc (3.).

Added some more complicated examples of my own devising.
Loose Ends

To do: review the specs for actual rules and requirements on
- escaping special characters
- inclusion of whitespace (incl. newline characters) inside the various string flavours:
  - hex #xxxx strings might allow for newlines (makes sense to me)
  - unquoted strings might not (idem)
Also enabled optional BOOST_SPIRIT_DEBUG

Also made the skipper internal to the grammar (security!)

Also made a convenience free function that makes the parser usable without leaking implementation details (Qi)
