I'm building a graph generator using Boost Graph and Program Options. There are, for example, two types of components C and W, each with 1 source, 1 sink and some additional parameters to specify topology in between. I'd like to be able to stitch them together in the sequence provided by the order of the command line arguments. For example: ./bin/make_graph -c4,5,1 -w3,3 -c3,1,2 Should create a graph resembling the following: C -- W -- C But: ./bin/make_graph -c4,5,1 -c3,1,2 -w3,3 Should create a graph resembling the following: C -- C -- W Using boost::program_options, I was unable to

I have the following sample code: #include <iostream> #include <boost/program_options.hpp> int main ( int ac, char *av[] ) { // Declare the supported options. boost::program_options::options_description desc("Allowed options"); desc.add_options()("help", "produce help message"); boost::program_options::variables_map vm; boost::program_options::store(boost::program_options::parse_command_line(ac, av, desc), vm); return 0; } It compiles fine using e.g. g++ test.cpp -lboost_program_options . However if I try to activate GCC bounds checking with the call g++ test.cpp -lboost_program_options -D

I'm using boost::program_options library to process command line params. I need to accept a file name via -r option, in case if it is empty (-r given without params) I need to use stdin. desc.add_options() ("replay,r", boost::program_options::value<std::string>(), "bla bla bla") In this case boost wouldn't accept -r without params and throw an exception. default_value () option does not work as well as it would make library return value even if user didn't give -r option. Any ideas how to work around? Please use the implicit_value method, e.g desc.add_options() ("replay,r", po::value<std:

If my command line is: > prog --mylist=a,b,c Can Boost's program_options be setup to see three distinct argument values for the mylist argument? I have configured program_options as: namespace po = boost::program_options; po::options_description opts("blah") opts.add_options() ("mylist", std::vector<std::string>>()->multitoken, "description"); po::variables_map vm; po::store(po::parse_command_line(argc, argv, opts), vm); po::notify(vm); When I check the value of the mylist argument, I see one value as a,b,c . I'd like to see three distinct values, split on comma. This works fine if I specify

These days I am playing with Boost program options for reading INI files. The code I have throws an exception once in the file there is a line with an unknown option. Do you know whether is possible and how to let the code below read the whole file? I want to skip the unknown options without throwing so that I can read all possible values. Thanks a lot AFG namespace pod = boost::program_options; pod::options_description options("Options"); std::string myArgValue; options.add_options() ("SECT_A.Option_A", pod::value<int>()->default_value(1), "xxx") ("SECT_B.Option_B", pod::value<std::string>(
