[#transform_error]
[section transform_error]
[h1 Synopsis]
template <class P, class F>
struct transform_error;
This is a [link parser_combinator parser combinator].
[table Arguments
[[Name] [Type]]
[[`P`] [[link parser parser]]]
[[`F`] [[link metafunction_class template metafunction class] taking one argument]]
]
[h1 Description]
It parses the input with `P`. When this succeeds, the result of parsing with
`transform_error` will be the result of parsing with `P`. When it fails, `F` is
evaluated with the error `P` returned as argument. Parsing with
`transform_error` will fail and the error will be what `F` returns. Therefore,
`F` is expected to accept and return a [link reject `reject`] value.
[h1 Header]
#include <boost/metaparse/transform_error.hpp>
[h1 Expression semantics]
For any `p` parser and `f` metafunction class accepting one argument
transform_error<p, f>::apply<s, pos>
is equivalent to `p::apply<s, pos>` when `p` accepts the input. It is equivalent
to `f::apply<p::apply<s, pos>::type>` otherwise.
