The ACE library (http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html) has a ACE_Arg_Shifter class for this. But using this huge library just for command line processing would be overkill. -- Peter van Merkerk peter.van.merkerk(at)dse.nl [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated.

I seem to remember one called getpot (no typo!), boost also had something cooking in that direction. cheers Uli -- Questions ? see C++-FAQ Lite: http://parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/ first !

It seems that GNU getopt does have some C++ support: http://www.fnal.gov/docs/products/gcc/libg++/libg++_39.html But libg++ has not been supported for years. I don't think it builds with current gcc either. [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated. First time posters: Do this! ] Back to top E.

Quote: can anybody recommend a good open-source library for command args processing in C++? something like getopt, but in C++. Check out the GB_CommandLine class at my site. There are also a certain number of predefined options in the Options directory. The basic principle is simple: GB_CommandLine is a singleton. The options are all static instances of a class derived from GB_Option, whose constructor enrols them with GB_CommandLine. After being fed the argc, argv parameters, the options in the command line have been set and stripped from the list of parameters; what remains looks like an std::vector< std::string > with the non-option parameters, and is a good candidate for providing the iterators necessary for my MultipleFileInputStream. -- James Kanze GABI Software mailto:kanze (AT) gabi-soft (DOT) fr Conseils en informatique orientée objet/ http://www.gabi-soft.fr Beratung in objektorientierter Datenverarbeitung 11 rue de Rambouillet, 78460 Chevreuse, France, +33 (0)1 30 23 45 16 [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated.

GNU Gengetopt 2.0 That generates C code, though I wonder whether it really matters. Note that the licence is GPL rather than LGPL, and given the FSF claims the GPL applies to Bison output They make the opposite claim, unless you have an old version of bison. (I do not know when bision 1.24, the last version to which your statement applies, was released, but I am fairly sure it was before the creation of the current bison cvs tree, which was created in 1996 or 1997.) http://www.gnu.org/manual/bison/html_node/Conditions.html#Conditions Quote: I expect they would say the same about this program's output.
