The class options_description_easy_init is supposed to provide "convenient creation syntax to option_description" but I find it's a bit less convenient than advertised. The problem is that the class isn't documented, and that's a serious problem if you take raw pointers.
I found out that a value_semantic object was being desroyed by a shared_ptr<value_semantic> dtor, even though I had passed the address of a local object.
This usage was never intended, and docs should say this.
Besides the fact that it's undocumented, shouldn't it take a shared_ptr<value_semantic> in the first place? The orginal owner miught like to keep a pointer to the object as well.
Why? Can you explain what are you trying to do?
( I'm porting Wave to boost 1.32, so I'm not writing the program_options code from scratch.
Porting to 1.32? I though it works with 1.32 already...
Even so, I found the documentation under par - wouldn't use it myself. For instance, the 'overview' section talks a lot about the value_semantic class but uses the value<T> class. )
There's no 'value<T>' class! There's value<T> *function* which produces instances of class derived from 'value_semantic<T>'. - Volodya
