I'm lost with trying to use the (unreleased) program_options lib. I have no problem to use with just command line, but I'd like to have both command line and config file.
Here's what I tried: try { options_description desc("Allowed options"); desc.add_options() ("help", "", "produce help message") ("esNodB,e", parameter<double> ("value", &esnodB), "Es/No(dB)") ("maxBursts,m", parameter<int> ("value", &maxBursts), "stop after #bursts") ("maxErrors,M", parameter<int> ("value", &maxErrors), "stop after #errors") ; options_and_arguments opts = parse_command_line(argc, argv, desc); variables_map vm; store(opts, vm, desc); ifstream ifs("TestUWP.cfg"); options_and_arguments opts2 = parse_config_file(ifs, desc); variables_map cfg_file_vm; store(opts2, cfg_file_vm, desc); vm.next(&cfg_file_vm); if (vm.count("help")) { std::clog << desc << "\n"; return 1; } } catch(std::exception& e) { std::cerr << "error: " << e.what() << "\n"; return 1; } I get this message: error: config file options should have required parameter I tried various variations, and also referred to the multiple_sources example, but I still can't find out what's wrong. Any clues?
