Re: [Boost-users] [program_options] Parsing config files

I stand corrected. It works! Was a stuck-ness in a static library of ours. I cleaned and rebuilt that and now it works. Sorry for any confusion... On Thu, Aug 8, 2013 at 2:02 PM, Michael Powell wrote:

Works like a champ!

Last question I think: when it comes to prioritizing options preference, I'd like to prefer command line over configuration file: in other words, give the end-user an opportunity to override the configuration file on the command line.

So, to do this, first parse the configuration file? Then parse the command line? Or vice versa?

Doesn't seem to matter which order I put them in. The configuration file always wins. I'd rather it was the command line that wins.

Interesting, and somewhat expected, that when I specify a mutually exclusive set of options, the process runs and parses and responds to the options as expected.

Anyone?

Thank ye...

How about for non-value type options: i.e. the key just exists.

For instance, "--some-time-out 1000" works well. However, what about for "--simple-flag" ?

So far I seem to be getting parse errors...

This bit me too. IIRC, 'simple-flag=' with no value.
