That should be correct, might be a bug in Spirit.Classic. If you have
a complete example then please post it to the Spirit mailing list.
You should not be using Spirit.Classic though, instead use Spirit.Qi,
which is much better tested and much faster. The same code in
Spirit.Qi is:
+((+alnum)[some_callback_func] >> "->")
Or is you just want to stuff all the strings in a vector:
std::string input("a->b->c->");
std::vector result;
parse(input.begin(),input.end(),+(+alnum >> "->"),result);
result will be an array of: ["a","b","c"]
Also, if you only want the -> to be between strings and not following, use this:
(+alnum)%"->"
That will parse out strings separated by "->", but no "->" at the
beginning or the end of the list. Spirit.Qi is a lot more powerful
and runs a lot faster then Spirit.Classic, and tends to be a lot
easier to use once you learn it.
