Hi Abel,

This sounds like interesting work!  Exceptions in TMP?  Wow.

I've also done some compile-time parsing, though not of strings, but of types (specifically, of template expressions).  I'd be interested to see if our approaches are similar; I'll take a look.

My code is at
https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/metagraph/boost/metagraph/angly
It basically constructs a DFA and runs it at compile-time

If you don't hear back on this thread, you should write to the moderators at boost-owner@ the same domain in order to get sandbox access.  

Info is here:
http://www.boost.org/community/sandbox.html
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/BoostSubversion
Although, your code doesn't really need to be in the sandbox to get reviewed.

Cheers,
Gordon
