Re: [Boost-users] program_options requires non-const argv

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. I'm guessing program_options is therefore tacitly assuming the second argument is non-const also. Merrill
