c++ - boost::program_options:带有固定 token 和可变 token 的参数？

是否可以在boost::program_options中使用此类参数？

program  -p1 123 -p2 234 -p3 345 -p12 678

即是否可以动态地使用第一个标记(例如-p)和数字来指定参数名称？
我想避免这种情况:

program  -p 1 123 -p 2 234 -p 3 345 -p 12 678

最佳答案

Boost.ProgramOptions不为此提供直接支持。但是，有两种通用的解决方案，每种解决方案都有其取舍:

通配符选项。

自定义解析器。

通配符选项

如果使用--p而不是-p是可以接受的，那么可以使用通配符选项。这需要在提取过程中遍历variables_map，因为Boost.ProgramOptions不支持在重载的validate()函数中接收键和值。

#include <iostream>
#include <map>
#include <string>
#include <utility>
#include <vector>

#include <boost/algorithm/string.hpp>
#include <boost/foreach.hpp>
#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>
#include <boost/program_options.hpp>

typedef std::map<int, int> p_options_type;

/// @brief Extract options from variable map with the a key of
///        <prefix>#*.
p_options_type get_p_options(
  const boost::program_options::variables_map& vm,
  const std::string prefix)
{
  p_options_type p_options;

  const std::size_t prefix_size = prefix.size();

  boost::iterator_range<std::string::const_iterator> range;
  namespace po = boost::program_options;
  BOOST_FOREACH(const po::variables_map::value_type& pair, vm)
  {
    const std::string& key = pair.first;

    // Key is too small to contain prefix and a value, continue to next.
    if (key.size() < (1 + prefix.size())) continue;

    // Create range that partitions key into two parts.  Given a key
    // of "p12" the resulting partitions would be:
    //
    //     ,--------- key.begin           -., prefix = "p"
    //    / ,-------- result.begin        -:, post-prefix = "12"
    //   / /   ,----- key.end, result.end -'
    //  |p|1|2|
    range = boost::make_iterator_range(key.begin() + prefix_size,
                                       key.end());

    // Iterate to next key if the key:
    // - does not start with prefix
    // - contains a non-digit after prefix
    if (!boost::starts_with(key, prefix) ||
        !boost::all(range, boost::is_digit()))
      continue;

    // Create pair and insert into map.
    p_options.insert(
      std::make_pair(
        boost::lexical_cast<int>(boost::copy_range<std::string>(range)),
        pair.second.as<int>()));
  }
  return p_options;
}

int main(int ac, char* av[])
{
  namespace po = boost::program_options;
  po::options_description desc;
  desc.add_options()
    ("p*", po::value<int>())
    ;

  po::variables_map vm;
  store(po::command_line_parser(ac, av).options(desc).run(), vm);

  BOOST_FOREACH(const p_options_type::value_type& p, get_p_options(vm, "p"))
  {
    std::cout << "p" << p.first << "=" << p.second << std::endl;
  }
}

及其用法:

./a.out --p1 123 --p2 234 --p3=345 --p12=678
p1=123
p2=234
p3=345
p12=678

This approach requires iterating over the entire map to identify wildcard matches, resulting in a complexity of O(n). Additionally, it requires a modification to the desired syntax, where --p1 123 needs to be use instead of -p1 123. This limitation is the result Boost.ProgramOptions's default parser behavior, where a single hyphen is expected to be followed by a single character.

---

Custom Parser

The alternative approach is to add a custom parser to the command_line_parser. A custom parser will allow -p1 syntax, as well as other common forms, such as --p1 123 and -p1=123. There are a few behaviors that need to be handled:

• A parser will receive a single token at a time. Thus, it will receive p1 and 123 on individual invocations. It is the parsers responsibility to pair p1 to 123.
• Boost.ProgramOptions expects at least one parser to handle a token. Otherwise boost::program_options::unknown_option will be thrown.

To account for these behaviors, the custom parser will manage state and perform encoding/decoding:

• When the parser receives p1, it extracts 1, storing state in the parser. Additionally, it encodes a no operation value for p.
• When the parser receives 123, it encodes it alongside the stored state as value for p.

Thus, if the parser receives -p1 and 123, 2 values are inserted into the variables_map for p: the no operation value and 1:123.

{ "p" : [ "no operation",
          "1:123" ] }

This encoding can be transparent to the user by providing a helper function to transform the encoded p vector into a map. The result of decoding would be:

{ 1 : 123 }

Here is the example code:

      parse(tokens.front()); // Parse key.

p1 = 123
p2 = 234
p3 = 345
p12 = 678

除了是更大的解决方案之外，一个缺点是需要经过解码过程以获得期望值。不能简单地以一种有意义的方式遍历vm["p"]的结果。
