Hello, I'm gradually porting my application to Boost, and I'm starting to use the program_options library. I'm also using the boost::unit_test library, and for some higher level unit tests its often convenient to programmatically setup some properties specific to the test before it runs. I can't figure out how to programmatically set program_options in the variable_map however. I currently wrap the boost::program_options interface with a simple Config class, so what I'd like to have is something like this: Config::setProperty(std::string &option, std::string &value); Config::setProperty(std::string &option, int value); Config::setProperty(std::string &option, bool value); But I can't even get a generic std::string implementation working. It looks like I have go through creating basic_option and basic_parsed_options objects and calling po::store(parsed_options, vm); except that instead of "std::string& option" above, I need to pass in the option_description& object, which starts to get messy. Is there an elegant way of doing this? Thanks, Josh -- Joshua ChaitinPollak Software Engineer Kiva Systems
