Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #5161: program options bug https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5161 <p> Hi all, </p> <p> When i am using program options backslashes in command line cause returned options corruption. </p> <p> Create a program option like --my "c:\test\" --my1 "dummy value" </p> <p> In this case when fetching my option you wll end up with "c:\test\" --my1 as the value </p> <p> if i modify "c:\test\" to "c:\test" everything will work as expected. </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5161 Trac 1.4.3 Vladimir Prus Fri, 04 Feb 2011 08:05:03 GMT <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5161#comment:1 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5161#comment:1</guid> <description> <p> I think this is how Windows command line generally operates. Backslash before quote makes quote an ordinary character.
