[boost] Re: [program_options] multi-line description patch

6 Dec 2004

      Looks like there is not much interest in my patch!?

In case someone is interested here is new verseion with line length added
as a parameter to options_description ctor.

BTW: on Win32 getting the line length of the current console is as easy as:

    HANDLE console = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);

    if (console != NULL)
    {
      CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO buffer_info;

      if (GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(console, &buffer_info))
      {
        line_length = buffer_info.dwSize.X;
      }

      CloseHandle(console);
    }
