Lexy: A DSL Library For C++ Parsing - Jonathan Müller - ACCU 2024
---
lexy is a C++ parsing library; it's essentially syntax sugar for a handwritten recursive descent parser, where you have full control over alternatives and backtracking. It supports Unicode as well as binary inputs, has good error messages on invalid input with automatic error recovery, and is able to store the result in arbitrary data structures or as a lossless parse tree. This talk gives an overview on how to use lexy, how it works, and why it is designed the way it is. I'll also share various template meta programming tricks, talk about designing embedded DSLs in C++, and discuss shortcomings of C++'s iterator model and benefits of sender/receiver style continuations.

The ACCU Conference is the annual conference of the ACCU membership, but is open to any and all who wish to attend. The tagline for the ACCU is 'Professionalism in Programming', which captures the whole spectrum of programming languages, tools, techniques and processes involved in advancing our craft. While there remains a core of C and C++ - with many members participating in respective ISO standards bodies - the conference, like the organisation, embraces other language ecosystems and you should expect to see sessions on C#, D, F#, Go, Javascript, Haskell, Java, Kotlin, Lisp, Python, Ruby, Rust, Swift and more.The ACCU Conference is a conference by programmers for programmers about programming.
Discounted rates for members.
