I am pleased to announce the latest and greatest release of cpp-argparse. This new version is 1.0.0, which means that it contains all the features that I intended it to have.
What is it?
Just to recap, cpp-argparse is a reimplementation of the Python’s
argparse module. It is
a header-only, single-include library with no external dependencies. It just
uses STL and requires C++17. It is released under MIT license
What are the new features?
Comparing to the previous version that I announced on this blog (0.8.3), this one adds the following:
- support for mutually exclusive groups
- detection of errors during string to type (e.g. to int) conversion
- support for multiple optional argument names
The above are nice additions, but I think the most important is the…
Tutorial
The latest version sports a tutorial, which gently introduces the library and its features, showing the usage on many examples.
What else?
Not much. The library now contains all that I intended it to, so apart from a bug fix here and there (hopefully the number of bugs is minimal) I do not plan major development.
Could the code be improved? Sure, but I think at the moment the functionality is more important and it’s there.
So, enjoy parsing your command-line args!
