I'm using gflags in c++ for parsing of command line parameters. I would like to have a command line flag that accepts a list of parameters. For example param
in the example below.
./myprog --param 0 1 2 3
How can I access a list of integers associated with this parameter?
gflags not supported array output, its just skipping unknown data, so you can choose:
Choice 1, parse args manually before gFlags,but add param to gflags - for no error parsing, for example:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <vector>
#include <gflags/gflags.h>
DEFINE_string(param, "string", "string");
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
vector<int> param;
for (int i = 0; i < argc; i++)
{
if (!strcmp(argv[i], "--param"))
{
for (++i; i < argc; i++)
{
if (!isdigit(argv[i][0]))
break;
param.push_back(atoi(argv[i]));
}
}
}
gflags::ParseCommandLineFlags(&argc, &argv, false);
return 0;
}
Choice 2:
Modify your input command line for example to : --param 0,1,2,3
and receive param as string in gFlags, split string by ',' and convert to array of integer.
