Boost::ProgramOptions configuration files: an unusual request
Alright, my problem is that in my configuration file, I need to carry data that maps names to a set of permissions (represented as strings when in the file, of course). There are two basic solutions that I can think of: the one-line-per-name approach and the entire-mapping-in-one-configuration-line approach. Is it possible to do the former with ProgramOptions and if so, how? Also, what would be a good syntax for the latter?
I usually use serialization w/program options, and I find it to be a clean solution. such as exe -i cfg_file.xml where the input is a .xml serialization archive. Otherwise you may want to checkout the link below: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/program_options/howto.html#id1...
