Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Rodrigo Benenson (rodrigo_b) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: [program_options] parse_config_file documentation bug Initial Comment: No where in the documentation the expected syntax of the config_file is mentioned. I found on the code the comment http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=en&q=+file:config_file.hpp+show:Zye14269keo:YJNqZ7IaevU:1tGSWV4a4yE&sa=N&cd=4&ct=rc&cs_p=http://spirit.sourceforge.net/dl_more/program_options.zip&cs_f=boost/program_options/config_file.hpp#a0 /** Standalone parser for config files in ini-line format: Config file can not contain arguments. - '#' is comment character: it is ignored together with the rest of the line. - variable assignments are in the form name '=' value. spaces around '=' are trimmed. - Section names are given in brackets. The actuall variable name is constructed by combining current section name and variable name, with dot between. If section_name already contains dot at the end, new dot is not inserted. For example: @verbatim [gui.accessibility] visual_bell=yes @endverbatim will result in option "gui.accessibility.visual_bell" with value "yes" been returned. */ Such kind of information should be on the documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=107586&aid=1632327&group_id=7586 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
