I’m using boost spirit to create a URI parser.

I get a syntax error for the following when I use the grammar straight off from RFC 2396.

server        =   [[userinfo >> ch_p('@')] hostport] ;

And when I change the rule and compile it, then the syntax error goes away but I get the following error. I’ve enclosed Grammar.h for reference

Thanks,

Reena
