program_options: wrong option name in error message on linux

Reported by: Michael Bachmann <bachmann@…> Owned by: Vladimir Prus
Milestone: To Be Determined Component: program_options
Version: Boost 1.55.0 Severity: Problem
Keywords: program_options error message option name Cc:

Description

To reproduce (bug occurs only on Linux):

  • compile the attached code sample
  • call the executable as follows 
    ./wrong_option_name_in_error_message --enable-debug --enable-debug

OK: On Windows (Visual Studio 12 2013) the option name '--enable-debug' is contained as expected in the error message: 

option '--enable-debug' cannot be specified more than once

BUG: On Linux (gcc 4.7.2) only the last part of the option name '--enable-debug' (=> '--debug') is contained in the error message: 

option '--debug' cannot be specified more than once

@Vladimir: Please close this Ticket.

The issue occurs with boost 1.55 and has been resolved in a later version of boost (tested with boost 1.57).
