In case of error, 'error' returns a non-empty error message. 'options' is an array of 'struct Option' terminated by an element containing a code which is zero. A null long_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 of options with an optional argument is '-' (without whitespace), or '--='. The syntax of options with an empty argument is '- ""', '-- ""', or '--=""'. */ class Arg_parser { public: enum Has_arg { no, yes, maybe, yme }; // yme = yes but maybe empty struct Option { int code; // Short option letter or code ( code != 0 ) const char * long_name; // Long option name (maybe null) Has_arg has_arg; }; private: struct Record { int code; std::string parsed_name; std::string argument; explicit Record( const unsigned char c ) : code( c ), parsed_name( "-" ) { parsed_name += c; } Record( const int c, const char * const long_name ) : code( c ), parsed_name( "--" ) { parsed_name += long_name; } explicit Record( const char * const arg ) : code( 0 ), argument( arg ) {} }; const std::string empty_arg; 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.
