[h1 Synopsis]

  template <class P, class Result, class ErrorMsg>
  struct except;

This is a [link parser_combinator parser combinator].

[table Arguments
  [[Name]       [Type]]
  [[`P`]        [[link parser parser]]]
  [[`Result`]   [[link metaprogramming_value template metaprogramming value]]]
  [[`ErrorMsg`] [[link parsing_error_message parsing error message]]]
]

[h1 Description]

`except` accepts the input when `P` rejects it and the result of parsing is the
`Result` argument. When `P` accepts the input, `except` rejects it and the
reason is `ErrorMsg`.

[h1 Header]

  #include <boost/metaparse/except.hpp>

[h1 Expression semantics]

For any `p` parser, `c` class, `msg` parsing error message, `s` compile-time
string and `pos` source position the following are equivalent

  get_result<except<p, c, msg>, s, pos>::type
  c

  get_remaining<except<p, c, msg>, s, pos>::type
  s

  get_position<except<p, c, msg>, s, pos>::type
  pos

when `p` rejects the input. The result of the parser is an error with the error
message `msg` otherwise.
