[Boost-users] [program_options] crashes when calling po::store

14 Dec 2006

      [Note: I already posted this on -devel. The used CVS version of Boost is 
now about one week old.]

I have the following program:

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/program_options.hpp>

namespace po = boost::program_options;

int main(char argc,char** argv)
{
    using std::string;

    // Kommandozeile parsen
    po::options_description desc("Allowed options");
    desc.add_options()
      ("help,H", "print help message")
    ;

    po::variables_map vm;
    po::store(po::parse_command_line(argc, argv, desc), vm)  ;
    po::notify(vm);

    if (vm.count("help")) {
        std::cout << desc << "\n";
        return 1;
    }
}

Results when building with 1.33.1 headers and linking against 1.33.1 libs:

$ cc -c -o separator2.o -g -Wall -Wno-deprecated -pipe -O  -I.
-I/home/jmueller/software/boost/include separator2.cpp
$ cc -lboost_program_options-gcc-d -L/home/jmueller/software/boost/lib
-o separator2  separator2.o
$ ./separator2
$ ./separator2 --help
Allowed options:
    -H [ --help ]         print help message

Has anyone an idea what's going wrong here? If you need further info,
please ask.
