Is there anything available? What's the status of the program_options library?
The library is in CVS now, and will be part of 1.32 release. It indeed has a parser for INI-line config files, and according to
I'm wondering why this isn't handled by a boost::spirit parser?
There are several issues: 1. The parsing can be done by spirit, but program_options provide a high-level interface for describing options. 2. I did not use spirit for program_options because it's too large dependency for quite a simple task. Further, I had to learn how to use spirit. And for another reason, current version of Spirit fails almost all tests on borland, while program_options works perfectly on that compiler. Of course, nothing prevents you from writing your own INI parser with spirit, but do you need to? - Volodya
