Binary Parsing, C++23 Style
summary
Claims an embedded DSL that produces compile-time parser generation using C++23 template metaprogramming and constexpr, avoiding handwritten boilerplate or external codegen. Implementation is ~5,000 lines on GitHub (hariceratops/s2s) and uses std::expected, span/file streams and folded template pipelines to read fields, handle padding/endianness (compile-time only) and bubble errors with readable diagnostics. A minimized example compiles and works; benchmarks are provisional.
