Detailed Description

Base class to parse command line options for SST Simulation Configuration variables.

NOTE: This class contains only state for parsing the command line. All options will be stored in classes derived from this class. This means that we don't need to be able to serialize anything in this class.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ConfigBase() [1/2]

SST::ConfigBase::ConfigBase ( bool  suppress_print )

inlineprotected

ConfigBase constructor.

Meant to only be created by main function

ConfigBase() [2/2]

SST::ConfigBase::ConfigBase ( )

inlineprotected

Default constructor used for serialization.

After serialization, the Config object is only used to get the values of set options and it can no longer parse arguments. Given that, it will no longer print anything, so set suppress_print_ to true. None of this class needs to be serialized because it it's state is only for parsing the arguments.

Member Function Documentation

addOption()

void SST::ConfigBase::addOption ( struct option  opt, const char *  argname, const char *  desc, std::function< int(const char *arg)>  callback, std::vector< bool >  annotations, std::function< std::string(void)>  ext_help = std::function<std::string(void)>()  )

protected

Add options to the Config object.

The options will be added in the order they are in the input array, and across calls to the function.

getRunName()

std::string SST::ConfigBase::getRunName ( )

inlineprotected

Get the name of the executable being run.

This is only avaialable after parseCmdLine() is called.

Referenced by SST::SSTInfoConfig::getUsagePrelude().

parseCmdLine()

int SST::ConfigBase::parseCmdLine	(	int	argc,
		char *	argv[],
		bool	ignore_unknown = false
	)

Parse command-line arguments to update configuration values.

Returns

Returns 0 if execution should continue. Returns -1 if there was an error. Returns 1 if run command line only asked for information to be print (e.g. –help or -V, for example).
