libargparse is a command line argument parser library in C++
The ArgParse class allows you to specify names of options that you
want parsed, along with a usage message for them. Options come in
four flavors: flag, int, float, and string. Flags don't take
arguments, but the other kinds do. For an option that takes an
argument, it can be specified with an equals sign, with a colon, or by
putting it in the next element of argv. ("--foo=stuff",
"--foo:stuff", or "--foo stuff", respectively)
The flavors that take arguments also come in array flavors. With an
array, you specify a pointer to a vector of the basic type, instead of
just a pointer to a basic type. This allows the option to appear more
than once, and the new values are appended to the array. Optionally,
you can also specify a separator character, so that multiple array
elements can be parsed up from a single instance of the option.
Options can start with either a single dash or a double dash, but see
allowOneCharOptionsToBeCombined() for more information.
as well as new features (performance, cleanup of large IDL's and i18n, new
API for environment vars, improved error reporting, among others).

Bugs fixed in 1.7.1:
* Honor `ansi2knr' for files built in subdirectories, or using per-targets
flags.
* Aclocal should now recognize macro names containing parentheses, e.g.
AC_DEFUN([AC_LANG_PREPROC(Fortran 90)], [...]).
* Erase *.sum and *.log files created by DejaGnu, during `make distclean'.
(Debian Bug#153697)
* Install Python files even if they were built. (PR/369)
* Have stamp-vti dependent upon configure instead of configure.ac, as the
version might not be defined in the latter. (PR/358)
* Reorder arguments passed to a couple of commands, so things works
when POSIXLY_CORRECT=1.
* Fix a regex that can cause Perl to segfault on large input.
(Debian Bug#162583)
* Fix distribution of packages that have some sources defined conditionally,
as in the `Conditional compilation using Automake conditionals' example
of the manual.
* Fix spurious test suite failures on IRIX.
* Don't report a required variable as undefined if it has been
defined conditionally for the "right" conditions.
* Fix cleaning of the /tmp subdirectory used by `make distcheck', in case
`make distcheck' fails.
* Fix distribution of included Makefile fragment, so we don't create
spurious directories in the distribution. (PR/366)
* Don't complain that a target lacks `.$(EXEEXT)' when it has it.
that 16.1.f version has different distfiles for 1.5.x and 1.6.
MD5s checked against ftp site to make sure they matched, then distinfo

the version of the gettext library needed by a package. The system libintl
is considered to be equivalent to "gettext-lib-0.10.35nb1". Add a few
additional bits to fool newer configure scripts into accepting the system
libintl if GETTEXT_REQD == 0.10.35nb1.
* We can't use the funky SETENV construct because it breaks some of the
code related to computing package sizes. Use a different way to remove
unwanted environment variables from the shell environment before calling
BSD make.
Introduce USE_PTL2 so that PTL2 can still be used as an alternative (e.g.
for debugging).
Only include ptl2/buildlink2.mk if USE_PTL2 is set and no native threads
are available.
Bump PKGREVISIONS.
Changes since 3.79.1 are:
Version 3.80
* A new feature exists: order-only prerequisites. These prerequisites
affect the order in which targets are built, but they do not impact
the rebuild/no-rebuild decision of their dependents. That is to say,
they allow you to require target B be built before target A, without
requiring that target A will always be rebuilt if target B is updated.
Patch for this feature provided by Greg McGary <greg@mcgary.org>.
* For compatibility with SysV make, GNU make now supports the peculiar
syntax $$@, $$(@D), and $$(@F) in the prerequisites list of a rule.
This syntax is only valid within explicit and static pattern rules: it
cannot be used in implicit (suffix or pattern) rules. Edouard G. Parmelan
<egp@free.fr> provided a patch implementing this feature; however, I
decided to implement it in a different way.
* The argument to the "ifdef" conditional is now expanded before it's
tested, so it can be a constructed variable name.
Similarly, the arguments to "export" (when not used in a variable
definition context) and "unexport" are also now expanded.
* A new function is defined: $(value ...). The argument to this
function is the _name_ of a variable. The result of the function is
the value of the variable, without having been expanded.
* A new function is defined: $(eval ...). The arguments to this
function should expand to makefile commands, which will then be
evaluated as if they had appeared in the makefile. In combination
with define/endef multiline variable definitions this is an extremely
powerful capability. The $(value ...) function is also sometimes
useful here.
* A new built-in variable is defined, $(MAKEFILE_LIST). It contains a
list of each makefile GNU make has read, or started to read, in the
order in which they were encountered. So, the last filename in the
list when a makefile is just being read (before any includes) is the
name of the current makefile.
* A new built-in variable is defined: $(.VARIABLES). When it is
expanded it returns a complete list of variable names defined by all
makefiles at that moment.
* A new command-line option is defined, -B or --always-make. If
specified GNU make will consider all targets out-of-date even if they
would otherwise not be.
* The arguments to $(call ...) functions were being stored in $1, $2,
etc. as recursive variables, even though they are fully expanded
before assignment. This means that escaped dollar signs ($$ etc.)
were not behaving properly. Now the arguments are stored as simple
variables. This may mean that if you added extra escaping to your
$(call ...) function arguments you will need to undo it now.
* The variable invoked by $(call ...) can now be recursive: unlike other
variables it can reference itself and this will not produce an error
when it is used as the first argument to $(call ...) (but only then).
* New pseudo-target .LOW_RESOLUTION_TIME, superseding the configure
option --disable-nsec-timestamps. You might need this if your build
process depends on tools like "cp -p" preserving time stamps, since
"cp -p" (right now) doesn't preserve the subsecond portion of a time
stamp.
* Updated translations for French, Galician, German, Japanese, Korean,
and Russian. New translations for Croatian, Danish, Hebrew, and
Turkish.
* Updated internationalization support to Gettext 0.11.5.
GNU make now uses Gettext's "external" feature, and does not include
any internationalization code itself. Configure will search your
system for an existing implementation of GNU Gettext (only GNU Gettext
is acceptable) and use it if it exists. If not, NLS will be disabled.
See ABOUT-NLS for more information.
* Updated to autoconf 2.54 and automake 1.7. Users should not be impacted.

Librsync is a library for calculating and applying network deltas,
with an interface designed to ease integration into diverse network
applications. Librsync encapsulates the core algorithms of the rsync
protocol, which help with efficient calculation of the differences
between two files. The rsync algorithm is different from most
differencing algorithms because it does not require the presence of
the two files to calculate the delta. Instead, it requires a set of
checksums of each block of one file, which together form a signature
for that file. Blocks at any point in the other file which have the
same checksum are likely to be identical, and whatever remains is the
difference.
Changes are:
Opening the Find dialog no longer toggles a breakpoint.
Make mouse wheel work (again) in source, variables, and watch windows.
When a pointer to a struct is expanded the struct is also expanded.
Improved toolbar and application icons.
* Provide nanosleep(2) and usleep(3) wrappers.
* Make sure sigprocmask syscalls are used in pth_system.
* "Fix" FD_SET handling in the select(2) wrapper so that
mismatches between pth FD_SETSIZE and user program
FD_SETSIZE don't cause problems.
* Update poll(2) wrapper to be more poll(2) like - in
particular never return EINVAL for bad file descriptors
Thanks to Matthias Drochner for this.
* Improve error handling in connect(2) wrapper so that we
don't confuse the scheduler. This fixes pkg/17944 from
Christian Biere (ChristianBiere at gmx dot de)
* Introduce autoconf handling of the value of FD_SETSIZE
used by pth. If we have to hard code a value we might
as well make it easy to change and make the inclusion
of pth.h or pthread.h by a program that re-defines
FD_SETSIZE an error.
Inspired by pkg/17944.
* Fix a compiler warning that I introduced a little while
ago.
* Disable --enable-syscall-hard for non-NetBSD platforms
and for pre-1.6/m68k. Make a note of the PRs that need
fixing. This closes pkg/18236 from Klaus Heinz (k dot
heinz dot sep dot zwei at onlinehome dot de)
The FD_SETSIZE problems would be handled better if pth was changed
to use poll(2), and not select(2), internally.

*** IMPORTANT NEWS FOR ALL AUTHORS OF TEXINFO MANUALS ***
As of version 4.2, Texinfo has a new command @copying to define the
copyright and copying permissions for a manual. It's important to
switch to using it as soon as possible (as in your next release),
because the historical method of doing copyright permissions using
@ifinfo failed to output copyright information in the HTML (or XML)
formats. The manual has detailed explanations and examples. For
convenience, here's a url to one of the relevant sections:
http://texinfo.org/manual/Document-Permissions.html
4.2 (1 April 2002)
* Language:
. new command @copying to define copying permissions. See above.
. new conditionals @ifplaintext, @ifnotplaintext for the plain text
(--no-headers) output format.
. new command @\ to produce literal \ inside @math, since \ by itself
no longer works.
* makeinfo:
. emit accesskey attributes for keyboard shortcuts to menu items.
. @{even,every,odd}{footing,header} are ignored by makeinfo now, so
they no longer need to be enclosed in @iftex.
* texinfo.tex:
. bug fix for pdf-format table of contents.
* info:
. bug fixes for -R (--raw-escapes).
. --help shows short option names.
* Distribution:
. the doc.c, funs.h, and key.c files in info/ are no longer generated
at make time, to appease Automake's make distcheck.
. gettext 0.11.1, autoconf 2.53, automake 1.6 (with install-info kludge).
4.1 (4 March 2002)
* Language:
. new commands @verbatim and @verb for printing verbatim inserts.
. new command @verbatiminclude for verbatim include of files.
. new environment @documentdescription for defining the HTML description.
. new command @afivepaper for the A5 paper size.
* makeinfo:
. supports xml and docbook output.
. supports HTML splitting by node, which is now the default.
. new option --split-size to control maximum size of split info files.
* info:
. user-specified key bindings supported.
. ANSI escape sequences (as produced by groff) removed from man output
by default; use --raw-escapes to let them through if your terminal
supports them.
* texinfo.tex:
. @math implies @tex, so all the usual plain TeX math is supported.
. smaller fonts for @smallexample, in all page sizes.
. improvements in the PDF support.
* texi2dvi:
. new option -o to explicitly specify output filename.
* Distribution:
. switch to GNU Free Documentation License (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/).
. update to GNU gettext 0.11, autoconf 2.52, and automake 1.5.
. Danish, Swedish, and Hebrew message translations.
- remove bogus pthread requirement
- handle recursive other_cflags, other_libs
- strip all "system directories" in C_INCLUDE_PATH out of
pkg-config output to make gcc 3.2 happy
- some win32 fixes
- couple other minor things
* Autoconf 2.54 is required.
* `aclocal' and `automake' will no longer warn about obsolete
configure macros. This is done by `autoconf -Wobsolete'.
* AM_CONFIG_HEADER, AM_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS and
AM_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ_NEEDS_SYS_IOCTL are obsolete (although still
supported). You should use AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, AC_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS,
and AC_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ instead. `autoupdate' can upgrade
`configure.ac' for you.
* Support for per-program and per-library `_CPPFLAGS'.
* New `ctags' target (builds CTAGS files).
* Support for -Wmumble and -Wno-mumble, where mumble is a warning category
(see `automake --help' or the manual for a list of them).
* Honor the WARNINGS environment variable.
* Omit the call to depcomp when using gcc3: call the compiler directly.
* A new option, std-options, tests that programs support --help and --version
when `make installcheck' is run. This is enabled by --gnits.
* Texinfo rules now support the `ps' and `pdf' targets.
* Info files are now created in the build directory, not the source directory.
* info_TEXINFOS supports files in subdirectories (this requires Texinfo 4.1
or greater).
* `make distcheck' will enforce DESTDIR support by attempting
a DESTDIR install.
* `+=' can be used in conditionals, even if the augmented variable
was defined for another condition.
* Makefile fragments (inserted with `include') are always distributed.
* Use Autoconf's --trace interface to inspect configure.ac and get
a more accurate view of it.
* Add support for extending aclocal's default macro search path
using a `dirlist' file within the aclocal directory.
* automake --output-dir is deprecated.
* The part of the distcheck target that checks whether uninstall actually
removes all installed files has been moved in a separate target,
distuninstallcheck, so it can be overridden easily.
* Many bug fixes.
Changes since 1.4.1 include:
- New XML output option, so test results can be loaded into a database.
- Support for the KFAIL/KPASS (known failures). This is mostly oriented
towards GDB testing.
- New tutorial chapter.
- Test case builds with either libstdc++-v3 (as used by gcc-3.0.x) or the
older v2.(as used by gcc-2.95.x)
Add some missing environment variables needed by the GNUstep build system
Include GNUstep binary directories in PATH
Include some missing header files in buildlink list
Bump PKGREVISION
=== Release 2.1, July 10, 2002
Change to handle RCS branch tags (so this tools can work with
RCS (vs CVS) repositories, too!) RCS branch tags are those
with an even number of "."s.
=== Release 2.2, July 18, 2002
You can now choose the Perforce filetype you'd like to have ALL of
your text files imported with. As long as it's "text" or "ktext" :-).
See the "$TEXTTYPE" configuration item.
For "developers": Added a new test/getgood script to grab the test
comparision files which have changed with a "runtest -gengood". Less
tedium.
Made the test/phone.gif,v a binary (-kb) RCS file, so we really test
that.
Fixed a bug in dochanges, wherupin the command to create a symlink to
the RCS archives was being created in copy mode, provided the copy did
not fail. Reported by John Wong (jw at unicom.com.au).
Added a new config item "DEADSTATE", for saying what RCS state value
means "deleted" in Perforce. It defaults correctly for CVS, so if
you're converting real CVS, you can just leave this as-it.
=== Release 2.3.1, July 30, 2002
Now always run p4d with an explicit p4d -r, in case the user's
environment has a P4ROOT set.
genmetadata now reports both the CVS file archive path and the
converted file path as it processes each file. This makes it easier to
tell what RCS archive file caused a problem if the file cannot be
parsed properly.
The scripts now use the more modern tie()/untie() database interface,
instead of the older dbmopen()/dbmclose() interface. The scripts
assume the presence of the DB_File (Berkeley DB 1.x) module. This
means that you are no longer left to the whim of the dbm support
compiled into your perl. Certain dbm implementations, notable that in
recent Solaris, caused problems. If you don't have DB_File support for
your perl, you'll need to find the tie() statements in the bin/*
scripts, and modify them to use some dbm package that you do have on
your system.
$P4_DEPOT can now be set to something that doesn't start with
"//depot/", and things will work properly (a new depot specification
will be created in the converted database).
Added README notes about conversions that merge into an existing
depot.
=== Release 2.3.2, September 3, 2002
Add $DEPOT config item, allowing RCS archives to appear as
$P4ROOT/$DEPOT/$CVS_MODULE; I.e., with $DEPOT set to "depot/IMPORT",
the RCS archive files will end up under
"depot/IMPORT/<modulename>/<filepath>"; With $DEPOT set to "depot",
they will be, simply, "depot/<modulename>/<filepath>". This makes it
easier to make later merges of subsequently imported changes easier.
Changed the database open code to allow setting the size of hash
buckets (allows large conversions without running out of space for
hash table pages).
Handle label names with '#' or '@' by substituting "_hash_" and/or
"_atsym_" into the converted label name.
(Thanks to Marc Tooley of Perforce Support for supplying these
imporvements).
- added the 'memory reduction' patch from Baruch Even. This patch
greatly reduces the memory footprint of CVSps against a large
repository by using dynamically allocated buffers, and by using
a tree to hold "common" strings (to avoid having a thousand copies
of the string "1.1"). This patch also adds a new option '-t' which
displays some memory usage statistics at the top.
- added the 00-strip-revision.patch from Steven Tweedie which fixes
a parsing problem when there are locked files in the repository
- added the 'Tweedie Tweenie' patch from Steven Tweedie (01-stable-tree)
which fixes a bug where interspersed commits could cause unstable
tree behavior. This would happen especially when multiple users commit
at the same time to different parts of a large tree over a slow link.
- added the --norc option (based on a suggestion by Soren S. Jorvang)
to handle cases where people have bad stuff in their .cvsrc which makes
cvsps fail. I could have added the '-f' unconditionally to the command
line for cvs when run under cvsps, but somehow that seemed dangerous.
Changes:
* Support for AM_INIT_GETTEXT([external])
* Bug fixes, including:
- Fix Automake's own `make install' so it works even if `ln' doesn't.
- nobase_ programs and scripts honor --program-transform correctly.
- Erase configure.lineno during `make distclean'.
- Erase YACC and LEX outputs during `make maintainer-clean'.
* Major changes in Autoconf 2.54 -*- outline -*-
** Executables
- autoreconf no longer changes the version of the gettext/po/intl
support files. It now adds the files the correspond to the
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION declared in configure.ac.
Warning: It now relies on the 'autopoint' program, which is part
of GNU gettext 0.11.4 and newer.
Please note that you need to have a GNU gettext version that
corresponds at least to the AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION declared
in configure.ac. You can upgrade to newer GNU gettext versions,
though, without needing to change configure.ac.
- The -I DIR or --include=DIR option now appends DIR to the include path
instead of prepending; this is for consistency with other GNU tools.
The new -B DIR or --prepend-include=DIR option has the old behavior.
** Macros
- AC_OUTPUT
Now handles all the gory details about LIBOBJS and LTLIBOBJS.
Please, remove lines such as
# This is necessary so that .o files in LIBOBJS are also
# built via the ANSI2KNR-filtering rules.
LIBOBJS=`echo $LIBOBJS|sed 's/\.o /\$U.o /g;s/\.o$/\$U.o/'`
and read the `AC_LIBOBJ vs LIBOBJS' section. Do not define U in
your Makefiles either.
- AC_CONFIG_LINKS now makes copies if it can't make links.
- AC_FUNC_FNMATCH now tests only for POSIX compatibility, reverting to
Autoconf 2.13 behavior. The new macro AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU also
tests for GNU extensions to fnmatch, and replaces fnmatch if needed.
- AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED no longer fails when cross-compiling.
- AC_PROG_CC_STDC is integrated into AC_PROG_CC.
- AC_PROG_F77 default search no longer includes cf77 and cfg77.
- New macros
AC_C_BACKSLASH_A, AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR, AC_GNU_SOURCE,
AC_PROG_EGREP, AC_PROG_FGREP, AC_REPLACE_FNMATCH,
AC_FUNC_FNMATCH_GNU, AC_FUNC_REALLOC, AC_TYPE_MBSTATE_T.
- AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG
looks for getloadavg.c in the CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR.
- AC_FUNC_MALLOC
Now defines HAVE_MALLOC to 0 if `malloc' does not work, and asks
for an AC_LIBOBJ replacement.
** Bug fixes
- Spurious complaints from `m4_bmatch' about invalid regular
expressions are suppressed.
- Empty top_builddirs are properly handled.
- AC_CHECK_MEMBER works correctly when the member is an aggregate.
- AC_PATH_PROG
Now colon in the optional path arguments are properly handled.
** Improved portability
- Both Autoconf the package, and the scripts it produces, should run
more reliably with Zsh. Bear in mind it is the default Bourne shell
on Darwin.
- Autoconf and the scripts it produces no longer assume the existence of
the obsolescent commands egrep and fgrep.
** Documentation
- Limitations of Make
More of them.
- GNATS
The GNATS base has moved to
http://bugs.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=autoconf
** Misc.
- config.log
Now contains the list of ouput variables and files (AC_SUBST,
AC_SUBST_FILES).
