| [section Acknowledgments] |
| |
| I am indebted to [@http://boost.org/people/joel_de_guzman.htm Joel de Guzman] |
| and [@http://boost.org/people/hartmut_kaiser.htm Hartmut Kaiser] for their |
| expert advice during the early states of xpressive's development. Much of |
| static xpressive's syntax is owes a large debt to _spirit_, including the |
| syntax for xpressive's semantic actions. I am thankful for |
| [@http://boost.org/people/john_maddock.htm John Maddock]'s excellent work on |
| his proposal to add regular expressions to the standard library, and for |
| various ideas borrowed liberally from his regex implementation. I'd also like |
| to thank [@http://moderncppdesign.com/ Andrei Alexandrescu] for his input |
| regarding the behavior of nested regex objects, and |
| [@http://boost.org/people/dave_abrahams.htm Dave Abrahams] for his suggestions |
| regarding the regex domain-specific embedded language. Noel Belcourt helped |
| porting xpressive to the Metrowerks CodeWarrior compiler. Markus |
| Sch'''ö'''pflin helped to track down a bug on HP Tru64, and Steven |
| Watanabe suggested the fix. |
| |
| Special thanks are due to David Jenkins who contributed both ideas, code and |
| documentation for xpressive's semantic actions, symbol tables and attributes. |
| Xpressive's ternary search trie implementation is David's, as is the number |
| parser example in [^libs/xpressive/example/numbers.cpp] and the documentation |
| for symbol tables and attributes. |
| |
| Finally, I would like to thank [@http://boost.org/people/thomas_witt.html Thomas Witt] |
| for acting as xpressive's review manager. |
