I'm trying to learn to use program options, posted here by Vladimir Prus.
I was trying to use the variables map, and I wanted a "double" variable. It
seems validator is specialized for float, but not double.
I tried following the example of the float type:
namespace boost { namespace program_options {
template<>
void validator<double>::operator()(any& v, const vector<string>& xs)
{
check_first_occurence(v);
string s(get_single_string(xs));
try {
v = any(lexical_cast<double>(s));
}
catch(bad_lexical_cast&) {
throw validation_error("'" + s + "' doesn't look like a double value.");
}
}
}
But check_first_occurence and get_single_string are in an anonymous namespace,
and are not accessible.
Is there a workaround? Should these functions be moved to a different
namespace to make extension more convenient?
