Boost "Application" concept?
Hello, I know Boost has within its repo the elements of bits that comprise a typical application; i.e. program options, for starters, etc. However, I was curious, is there a library in the Boost repo that wraps it all up in a prescribed format? Or a handle of recipes? Things I would expect to find include the program options, ability to run, with some arguments, etc. Not an exhaustive set of expectations, to be sure. Thanks for the feedback! Cheers, Michael W Powell

Such a library (or library idea) was proposed in the past and if I remember correctly the discussion lead to, instead of having one library to bind them, provide all missing parts as separate libraries (which is why it looks like most parts are now ready) and let the user chose which parts to use. I don't remember if there was an end-goal to have a library doing the summation of the libraries, but you can look for the discussions in the mailing list archives with this keyword: "Boost.Application" Joël
