Hello, I am using Ubuntu 8.10 with g++ 4.3.2 and boost 1.37.0 I have two issues I have run into with program_options. 1. Minor. When using program options to read option into a short or unsigned short g++ gives me a warning of: /opt/boost/1.37.0/include/boost-1_37/boost/any.hpp: In member function ‘void boost::program_options::typed_value::notify(const boost::any&) const [with T = short unsigned int, charT = char]’ 2. I have a need to pass configuration into a plugin for another package. When using multiple plugins that are compiled with the program_options I run into a problem that the second plugin loaded is unable to use program_options to parse the configuration file and dies with an error of: boost::bad_any_cast: failed conversion using boost::any_cast Any assistance anyone can provide on these 2 matters? -- Regards, Mikhail Veygman
