With reference to boost 1.59 and program options.

The following test passes on boost 1.53, but fails on boost 1.59.

I need to able to handle.

     --arg1 10     and

     --arg1=10

boost 1.59 now fails on '--arg1 10', with test below with option value being empty.

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>
#include <boost/foreach.hpp>
#include <boost/program_options.hpp>

using namespace std;
namespace po = boost::program_options;

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE( BaseTestSuite )

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( test_program_options_implicit_value )
{
   cout << "Base:: ...test_program_options_implicit_value\n";

   // Declare the supported options.
   po::options_description desc("Allowed options");
   desc.add_options()
       ("help", "produce help message")
       ("arg1", po::value<string>()->implicit_value( string("") ), "optional arg1 description") ;

   {
      char* argv[] = {
            const_cast<char*>("test_program_options_implicit_value"),
            const_cast<char*>("--help"),
            const_cast<char*>("--arg1")
      };

      po::variables_map vm;
      po::store(po::parse_command_line(3, argv, desc), vm); 
      po::notify(vm);                                        

      BOOST_CHECK_MESSAGE(vm.count("help"), "Expected help");
      BOOST_CHECK_MESSAGE(vm.count("arg1"), "Expected arg1");
      BOOST_CHECK_MESSAGE(vm["arg1"].as<string>() == "", "Expected arg1 to be empty");
   }
   { 

      // ****** This fails on boost 1.59 bit passes in boost 1.53 *******

      char* argv[] = {
             const_cast<char*>("test_program_options_implicit_value"),
             const_cast<char*>("--arg1"),
             const_cast<char*>("10")
       };

       po::variables_map vm;
       po::store(po::command_line_parser(3, argv, desc), vm);
       po::notify(vm);

       BOOST_CHECK_MESSAGE(vm.count("arg1"), "Expected arg1");
       BOOST_CHECK_MESSAGE(vm["arg1"].as<string>() == "10",
       "Expected arg1 with value of 10 but found '" << vm["arg1"].as<string>() << "'");
   }
   {
      char* argv[] = {
             const_cast<char*>("test_program_options_implicit_value"),
             const_cast<char*>("--arg1=11")
       };

       po::variables_map vm;
       po::store(po::parse_command_line(2, argv, desc), vm);
       po::notify(vm);

       BOOST_CHECK_MESSAGE(vm.count("arg1"), "Expected arg1");
       BOOST_CHECK_MESSAGE(vm["arg1"].as<string>() == "11",
          "Expected arg1 with value of 11 but found " << vm["arg1"].as<string>());
   }
}

Ta,

   Avi
