[Boost-users] Spirit: Assigning elements of a closure member.

Is there any standard way, in a semantic action, to assign individual 
elements of a struct that is set as a member of a closure? For example 
suppose I have:-

struct foo {
  int a, b, c;
  std::string d;
  float e;
};

And I have this as member1 in my closure, which is then attached to a rule 
that parses each of those struct member elements seperately, is there then a 
standard way within the semantic actions in my rule to assign to foo.d, say, 
without modifying the other values? It seems that my only option is to 
either write my own functors to set each member seperately, or have the 
individual elements as seperate members of my closure.

I kind of want to do something like this:
myrule = int_p[assign_a(myrule.m1.a)] >> int_p[assign_a(myrule.m1.b)];
But myrule.m1 is an actor, not an instance of foo.

Is there a way to do this with boost::bind perhaps?

I want to use closures since my rules need to be reentrant.
