In any case I strongly suggest to consider abandoning the Spirit.Classic tree parsers and switching to Spirit V2.1 (Boost SVN trunk). This is an interface breaking change, but overall and in the long run preferable. The Spirit.Classic tree code is known to be slow and buggy and I doubt it will be fixed. Spirit 2.1 is much faster, more stable and generally easier to use.

I know, I saw the announcement of V2 on the Website, but the
documentation only is about the classic Spirit, so I used the old one.

( http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/libs/spirit/index.html
automatically redirects to the classic documentation )

Once there is a documentation I will certainly consider switching to V2.

But even classic is preferrable to flex/bison trouble with C++ ;)

All the Best,
