Subject: Re: [Boost-users] boost::xpressive : Get thousand separator as double
From: Eric Niebler (eric_at_[hidden])

If performance matters, you might want to avoid xpressive::as. It's just
a thin wrapper over boost::lexical_cast, which may(?) do dynamic
allocation while performing conversion. Try this, which uses a wrapper
over std::atoi instead. (It's a bit sneaky in that it uses the fact that
characters in a string are guaranteed contiguous, and that atoi stops
parsing on the first non-digit.)
Disclaimer: this code is not well-tested.
struct asint_ : std::unary_function<xp::ssub_match, int>
{
    int operator()(xp::ssub_match const &s) const
    {
        return (int)std::atoi(&*s.first);
    }
};
xp::function<asint_>::type const asint = {};
int main()
{
    using namespace xp;
    placeholder<double> result;
    sregex double_ = ~after(_d) >>
        // a number with no group separators, and either a period or comma
        // for fraction separator
        (+_d)[result = asint(_)] >>
            !((set=',','.') >> (_d >> _d)[result += asint(_)/100.0]) >>
            ~before(set[_d|','|'.'])
        // A number with optional group separators
      | repeat<1,3>(_d)[result = asint(_)] >>
        (
            // ... with comma group separators and period fraction separator
            *(',' >> repeat<3>(_d)[result *= 1000, result += asint(_)]) >>
                !('.' >> (_d >> _d)[result += asint(_)/100.0]) >>
                ~before(set[_d|','|'.'])
            // ... with period group separators and comma fraction separator
          | *('.' >> repeat<3>(_d)[result *= 1000, result += asint(_)]) >>
                !(',' >> (_d >> _d)[result += asint(_)/100.0]) >>
                ~before(set[_d|','|'.'])
        );
    std::string str;
    double d = 0.0;
    smatch what;
    what.let(result = d);
    std::cout << std::fixed << std::setprecision(2);
    while (std::getline(std::cin, str))
    {
        if (regex_search(str, what, double_))
        {
            std::cout << "Double = " << d << '\n';
        }
        else
        {
            std::cout << "No match\n";
        }
    }
}
