Description

Concrete variables map which store variables in real map.

This class is derived from std::map<std::string, variable_value>, so you can use all map operators to examine its content.

variables_map public construct/copy/destruct

  1. variables_map();
  2. variables_map(const abstract_variables_map * next);

variables_map public member functions

  1. const variable_value & operator[](const std::string & name) const;
  2. void clear();
  3. void notify();

variables_map private member functions

  1. virtual const variable_value & get(const std::string & name) const;

    Implementation of abstract_variables_map::get which does 'find' in *this.

variables_map friend functions

  1. BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_DECL void 
    store(const basic_parsed_options< char > & options, variables_map & xm, 
          bool utf8);

    Stores in 'm' all options that are defined in 'options'. If 'm' already has a non-defaulted value of an option, that value is not changed, even if 'options' specify some value.
