Sounds interesting. Would this let you specify the program options as
either
commandline flags or as in XML input file?
That's my plan. I've got something working but it's somewhat of a hack. I
used the response file example that's included with program_options and
an internal library to parse the XML. Using this I build a vector of
strings that I then pass to the command_line_parser. So, yes, with this
scheme you can override config file settings on the command
line.
And, I think that
boost.serialize has XML as one of it's formats, would you
be able to use that as your XML parser?
I haven't looked at boost::serialize. I'll try to do that soon.
