Hi,

I have two questions re: the boost command line options library:

1) I am compiling a dynamic library that links to the boost command line options library as a shared library.  When I try to unload the dynamic library, I find that it isn’t properly unloaded and the boost library seems to be causing the issue.  I did find that things were helped somewhat when I linked to the boost static libraries.  However, it still feels unstable.  Are there any particular things I should know about in this context in terms of how my makefile should be linking to boost?  Or are there other things I should look at.

2)  When using program options, I am getting the following error.  For some reason this seemed to work with the dynamic libraries (or it may be a coincidence).  Am I required to implement the << and >> operators?  It had been compiling previously and stopped.  After googling this issue there seems to be a lot of confusion.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

desc.add_options()

where dsp_type is this:

struct dsp_type {
dsp_type() {}
dsp_type(std::string const& val):
value(val)
{ }

std::string value;
};

and I have a validator defined as this:

void validate(boost::any& v,
              std::vector<std::string> const& values,
              dsp_type* /* target_type */,
              int)
{
  using namespace boost::program_options;
  //namespace po = boost::program_options;

  // Make sure no previous assignment to 'v' was made.
  validators::check_first_occurrence(v);

  // Extract the first string from 'values'. If there is more than
  // one string, it's an error, and exception will be thrown.
  std::string const& s = validators::get_single_string(values);

  if (s == "ladspa" || s == "audioweaver" || s == "gstreamer" || s == "lv2")  {
    v = boost::any(dsp_type(s));
  } else {
    throw validation_error(validation_error::invalid_option_value);
  }
}
