Hi,

well, as far as I understood proto, its for building Domain Specific Languages(DSL). For Parsing and Grammars there is already a project in boost, spirit, they build up on proto with spirit2 to implement a DSL for a parser/grammar framework.

So as I don't know your needs, proto can help you a lot, maybe spirit has already done some work for you.

regards,

Jens Weller
