program_options::command_line_style::case_insensitive doesn't work

Reported by: Roie Marianer <roie.marianer@…> Owned by: Sascha Ochsenknecht
Milestone: Boost 1.42.0 Component: program_options
Version: Boost 1.40.0 Severity: Problem

Description

It seems the case_insensitive option has been disabled since 2005. If it isn't coming back, perhaps it should be removed or commented out of the interface, as its existence there is misleading. At the very least, a "this doesn't work" comment should exist in cmdline.hpp

Volodya, any special reason why this was removed/disabled?

Cheers, Sascha

Sascha,

I don't recall intentionally removing this functionality. It probably has slipped while I was refactoring code.

I reactivate the case insensitive code. Two additional style flags added: short_case_insensitive and long_case_insensitive (the existing case_insensitive flags is the combination of both).

I'm going to add some more tests, but solution is already on trunk.
