This article describes a sample parser of reg files using the Boost Spirit Parser Framework. The main aim of this article is to share the experience, and that's why here, I'll show not so much the solution for the concrete task or the usage of the concrete technology as the way the development process goes. In particular, we'll discuss why we use the curtain libraries and make one or another solution.

In this article we will try to make our algorithms working faster using the methods of low-level optimization of memory allocation in C++.
