[Genparse-users] Automatically breaking lines on the Genparse help screen

[<li...@mi...>]

Hi Mike,

I want to introduce a new global definition "#break_lines" to the Genparse 
file. It takes an integer argument specifying the page width and automatically 
breaks lines on the help screen to this width. E.g. #break_lines 80 would 
automatically format all output printed by the usage() function to a width of 
80 characters.

====================================

Additionally I would like to introduce a new command line switch

s / static-headers      flag    "Keep headers of generated files static. Don't add"
                                "creation date, username, kernel version etc."

which removes those lines in the header of the generated parser files which are
frequently changing. Below is a Genparse header as it has been generated up to now
(and will continue to be generated if the command switch is not set):

/******************************************************************************
**
** mycopy4_clp.cc
**
** Sun Sep  9 11:55:55 2007
** Linux 2.6.19 (#1 Sun Jan 21 11:52:23 CET 2007) i686
** linux@mgpc (Michael Geng)
**
** Definition of command line parser class
**
** Automatically created by genparse v0.6.9
**
** See http://genparse.sourceforge.net for details and updates
**
******************************************************************************/

If you invoke genparse with -s or --static-headers then the complete header 
would look like this:

/******************************************************************************
