nice project. I was messing with older version until i saw the note that for gcc, newer version is available. thanks.
-
Very nice parser. May use cases need command line parsers rather than GUI ones. Respect to developer.

I settled on TCLAP after scouting for a while for a command line parser. It's simple to use, gave no warnings on gcc/msbuild under fairly strict options. I found it convenient to provide arg values by reference and I removed the traits bits to cut the boiler plate even further and shrink the amount of code to suit my taste. It speaks well of TCLAP design and implementation that I could make those changes in a very straightforward way.

Really nice, easy to use and extensible command line interface. I like the header-only-ness.

I've used this library for almost 10 years. It compiles warning-free under g++ using "-Wall -Weffc++ -pedantic -std=c++0x". It keeps parsing simple, allows for parameter ranges, and exclusive-OR argument specification.
