我正在使用 Boost.program_options 来解析命令行以实现 POSIX 实用程序。举个简单的例子,以cmp.

现在我想要一个额外的参数--help来显示所有参数的描述,这在这种情况下很重要。我有:

po::options_description options("Options");
options.add_options()("help", "Show this help output.")
                     (",l", "(Lowercase ell.) Write the byte number (decimal) and the differing bytes (octal) for each difference.")
                     (",s", "Write nothing for differing files; return exit status only.")

po::positional_options_description operands;
operands.add("file1", 1);//, "A pathname of the first file to be compared. If file1 is '-', the standard input shall be used.")
operands.add("file2", 1);//, "A pathname of the second file to be compared. If file2 is '-', the standard input shall be used.");

po::variables_map vm;
po::store(po::command_line_parser(argc, argv).options(options).positional(operands).run(), vm);
po::notify(vm);

if(vm.count("help"))
{
  std::cout << "cmp: compare two files\nUsage: cmp [ -l | -s ] file1 file2\n" << options;
  return 0;
}

无法显示file1file2选项的描述。我当然可以将它们添加到options,但这会添加至少两个不需要的参数[-]-file{1,2},这是我真的不想要的。我只想要这个输出--help(没有明显的硬编码):

cmp: compare two files
Usage: cmp [ -l | -s ] file1 file2
Options:
  --help                Show this help output.
  -l                    (Lowercase ell.) Write the byte number (decimal) and the differing bytes (octal) for each difference.
  -s                    Write nothing for differing files; return exit status only.
Operands:
  file1                 A pathname of the first file to be compared. If file1 is '-', the standard input shall be used.
  file2                 A pathname of the second file to be compared. If file2 is '-', the standard input shall be used.

有什么方法可以在不破坏图书馆的情况下实现这一目标?我认为这是非常基本的东西,但我在任何教程中都找不到它。

更新为了每个人的利益,我以一种希望向后兼容的方式提交了一个功能请求

这并不理想,但是如何创建一组“虚拟”程序选项,让 boost::program_options 格式化程序为您格式化其帮助文本,然后通过快速替换删除破折号?

除了帮助文本之外,然后输出该options帮助文本。

像这样的东西:

po::options_description dummy_options("Operands");
dummy_options.add_options()
    ("file1", po::value<std::string>(), "A pathname of the first file to be compared. If file1 is '-', the standard input shall be used.")
    ("file2", po::value<std::string>(), "A pathname of the second file to be compared. If file2 is '-', the standard input shall be used.")
    ;

std::stringstream s;
s << dummy_options;
std::string dummy_help_text = s.str();
boost::replace_all(dummy_help_text, "--", "");
boost::replace_all(dummy_help_text, "arg", "     ");

std::cout << dummy_help_text << std::endl;

输出如下所示:

Operands:
  file1                 A pathname of the first file to be compared. If file1
                        is '-', the standard input shall be used.
  file2                 A pathname of the second file to be compared. If file2
                        is '-', the standard input shall be used.

这并不理想,因为除其他外,列之间的间距与其他options输出的帮助输出不匹配。但是对于一些快速而肮脏的东西,基本上可以工作,它可能没问题。

无论如何,这是一个想法。

(我在 Boost.Program_Options API 中也看不到任何允许您以“正确”方式执行此操作的内容。https://stackoverflow.com/a/3621947/368896 暗示不支持这种事情,但现在已经 3 岁了。)
