Steve,
I ran into the same problem. Once I thought about it, I realized I had _never_ seen a C or C++ main() function prototype defined with a const second argument.
I think I remember that one of the traditional C getopt() function variants actually munges the argument list by removing that arguments it recognizes, leaving anything else for direct processing by the program.
This is still possible if the type of the second argument is char const* argv[] as shown by the following code: char const* args[] = { "zero", "one" }; std::swap(args[0], args[1]); std::cout << args[0] << std::endl; std::cout << args[1] << std::endl; It wouldn't hurt if parse_command_line and friends had a const there, if they don't change the strings by design. -- Pedro Lamarão Desenvolvimento Intersix Technologies S.A.
