Hi all,
I'd very much like to change BrAppOptionManager quite a lot, so that
it may be used with BrMainModule and TestMainModule. What I propose to
do, is to change the interface from
BrAppOptionManager(Int_t major, Int_t minor,
const Char_t* versionStr,
const Char_t* helpStr
void ProcessCommandLine(Int_t argc, Char_t** argv)
to
BrAppOptionManager()
static BrAppOptionManager* Instance()
void SetVersion(Int_t major, Int_t minor,
const Char_t* versionStr)
void SetHelp(const Char_t* versionStr)
void SetCommandLine()
Bool_t ProcessCommandLine()
and not use exceptions. So if you had before
try {
1 BrAppOptionManager* oM = new BrAppOptionManager(0,1,"Hello", "World")
2 ... Add options
3 om->ProcessCommandLine(argc, argv)
...
} catch (BrException* e) {
...
}
you would now have
1 BrAppOptionManager* oM = BrAppOptionManager::Instance();
2 oM->SetCommandLine(argc, argv);
3 oM->SetVersion(0,1,"Hello");
4 oM->SetHelp("World");
5 ... Add options
6 if (!oM->ProcessCommandLine())
7 return 1;
You might, say "Oh, that's 4 more lines then before!" but, the point
is that you can move the first two line into TestMainModule, and have
a copy of line 1 along with lines 3 to 7 in a configuration script
like Config.C!!! Now that is neat isn't it.
I thought I should give you some time to react, since I believe a
whole bunch of you is using the option manager, so I will not update
the changes until mid-next week, conditional on no serious objections
ofcourse.
Yours,
Christian -----------------------------------------------------------
