I assume, that you used a yacc grammar for parsing your file. Please
excuse, that I can't really help you with yacc, but I cannot resist to
take your example as a demonstration of a statement, which I just made
here a week ago: the integration of semantic code in LL-parsers is a
very intuitive task. Your example could be implemented by the
TextTransformer as follows:


A[aptr a] ::=


"A" {_ a =new A(); _}
"{"
B[a->_b]
"}"




B[bptr b] ::=


"B" {_ b =new B(); _}
"{"
"text" "=" STRING
{_
// the text is the first sub-expression of STRING
b->text = new char[State.length(1) + 1];
strcpy(b->text, State.str(1).c_str());
_}
"}"


( To make it more general, you could use a factory, which delivers an
adequate class pointer to a class name. )
