BOOST库 --boost_options组件使用

系统环境Ubuntu14.04 LTS g++-4.8

1、示例代码 boost_options.cpp

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#include <boost/program_options.hpp>
namespace po = boost::program_options;

int main(int argc, char*argv[])
{
    //int level;
    po::options_description desc("Allowed options");
    desc.add_options()
        ("help", "produce help message")
        //("help,h", "produce help message")
        ("compression", po::value<int>(), "set compression level");
        //("compression", po::value<int>(&level)->default_value(1), "set compression level");

    po::variables_map vm;
    po::store(po::parse_command_line(argc, argv, desc), vm);
    po::notify(vm);

    if(vm.count("help"))
    {
        cout<<desc<<endl;
        return 1;
    }

    if(vm.count("compression"))
    {
        cout<<"compression level was set to "<<vm["compression"].as<int>()<<"."<<endl;
        //cout<<"compression level: "<<level<<endl;
    }
    else
    {
        cout<<"compression level was not set."<<endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

2、说明：BOOST库大多数组件不需要编译链接，直接在自己的源码里包含相应头文件夹即可。但少量库（如chrono、date_time、regex、program_options、thread、python等），必须编译成静态库或者动态库，并在构建时指定链接选项才能使用。

program_options需要指定库文件

$g++ -I/usr/local/inlcude -L/usr/local/lib boost_options.cpp -o boost_options -lboost_program_options

$./boost_options --help

输出以下内容：
Allowed options:
–help produce help message
–compression arg set compression level

$./boost_options --compression 100

输出以下内容：
compression level was set to 100.
