A null name means a short-only + option. A code value outside the unsigned char range means a + long-only option. + + Arg_parser normally makes it appear as if all the option arguments + were specified before all the non-option arguments for the purposes + of parsing, even if the user of your program intermixed option and + non-option arguments. If you want the arguments in the exact order + the user typed them, call `Arg_parser' with `in_order' = true. + + The argument `--' terminates all options; any following arguments are + treated as non-option arguments, even if they begin with a hyphen. + + The syntax for optional option arguments is `-<short_option><argument>' + (without whitespace), or `--<long_option>=<argument>'. +*/ + +class Arg_parser + { +public: + enum Has_arg { no, yes, maybe }; + + struct Option + { + int code; // Short option letter or code ( code != 0 ) + const char * name; // Long option name (maybe null) + Has_arg has_arg; + }; + +private: + struct Record + { + int code; + std::string argument; + Record( const int c = 0 ) : code( c ) {} + }; + + std::string error_; + std::vector< Record > data; + + bool parse_long_option( const char * const opt, const char * const arg, + const Option options[], int & argind ); + bool parse_short_option( const char * const opt, const char * const arg, + const Option options[], int & argind ); + +public: + Arg_parser( const int argc, const char * const argv[], + const Option options[], const bool in_order = false ); + + // Restricted constructor.
