Boost.Parameter is not suited well for run time parameter composition. Perhaps, what you're looking for is better achieved with init_from_stream or init_from_settings. _______________________________________________
Andrey - Thanks for the response. Let me start with mentioning that I have initially found this library useful. The trivial logging has satisfied many of my first usage patterns. However, I am finding it very difficult to follow the documentation. For example, the tutorial section is not complete enough to fabricate a working example. Specifically, the lack of header definitions has become mind numbing. If there was some macro include boost/log/log.hpp or something when you are starting out ... it would be very helpful. For a specific illustration, "Setting up sinks" calls a utility named init_log_to_file. It took me way too long to figure out which include file had this. I want to follow along in the tutorial and actually *try* the examples myself. Better yet, the documentation is generated via boostbook, utilize the feature to pull code examples directly from real working code. (see spirit docs for examples) This approach makes it easy for the user to follow along the tutorial and also ensures that your code examples are indeed correct and without flaw. The tutorials can all be compiled and checked just like regressions. And now for my latest documentation hiccup: init_from_stream and init_from_settings both look promising. I pull up the docs and take a look at each. I follow the basic_settings link. I poke around some more..... and now I'm getting frustrated again. Where do I find list of possible settings? Why isn't there a link in the docs to give me a hint of where to go? Thanks! I am looking forward to fully reviewing your library. michael -- ---------------------------------- Michael Caisse Object Modeling Designs www.objectmodelingdesigns.com
