Struct template reference

boost::xpressive::reference — reference<> is a lazy wrapper for a reference that can be used in xpressive semantic actions.

Synopsis

// In header: <boost/xpressive/xpressive_fwd.hpp>

template<typename T> 
struct reference : public proto::extends< proto::terminal< reference_wrapper< T > >::type, reference< T > >
{
  // construct/copy/destruct
  explicit reference(T &);

  // public member functions
  T & get() const;
};

Description

Here is an example of how to use reference<> to create a lazy reference to an existing object so it can be read and written in an xpressive semantic action.

using namespace boost::xpressive;
std::map<std::string, int> result;
reference<std::map<std::string, int> > result_ref(result);

// Match a word and an integer, separated by =>,
// and then stuff the result into a std::map<>
sregex pair = ( (s1= +_w) >> "=>" >> (s2= +_d) )
    [ result_ref[s1] = as<int>(s2) ];

Template Parameters

```
typename T
```
The type of the referent.

`reference` public construct/copy/destruct

```
explicit reference(T & t);
```
Store a reference to t.

Parameters:

t

Reference to object

`reference` public member functions

```
T & get() const;
```
Fetch the stored value.
