program_options

The module program_options is a direct fork of the Boost.Program_options library (Boost V1.70.0). In order to be included as an HPX module, the Boost.Program_options library has been moved to the namespace hpx::program_options. We have also replaced all Boost facilities the library depends on with either the equivalent facilities from the standard library or from HPX. As a result, the HPX program_options module is fully interface compatible with Boost.Program_options (sans the hpx namespace and the #include <hpx/modules/program_options.hpp> changes that need to be applied to all code relying on this library).

All credit goes to Vladimir Prus, the author of the excellent Boost.Program_options library. All bugs have been introduced by us.

See the API reference of the module for more details.
