Description
The current implementation uses std::ostream in detail::print_parser() and std::stringstream in parser.call() for error reporing. For static linked executables this brings in the whole locale mashinary of STL. Something not always desirable. I suggest replacing it or at least make it customizable whether to use iostreams or not.
I have made two examples with such a parser using printf() for error reporting:
lit('{') > int_ > lit(',') > int_ > lit('}')
Boost Spirit X3 results in a 154 KiB executable and Boost Parser in 218 KiB with error reporting removed in parser.hpp and 963 KiB with error reporting included.
Both compiled with GCC 15.1 for MinGW-W64 using -O2 -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -s -static -Wl,--gc-sections. LTO makes hardly any difference here.
