It was intially inspired by the user +friendly CLAP libary. The difference is that this library is templatized, so the +argument class is type independent. Type independence avoids +identical-except-for-type objects, such as IntArg, FloatArg, and StringArg. +While the library is not strictly compliant with the GNU or POSIX standards, it +is close. + +TCLAP is written in ANSI C++ and is meant to be compatible with any +standards-compliant C++ compiler. It is known to work on Linux, MacOS X, +Windows, and Solaris platforms. The library is implemented entirely in header +files making it easy to use and distribute with other software. It is licensed +under the MIT License for worry free distribution. + +TCLAP is now a mature, stable, and feature rich package. Unless I get really +bored, it probably won't see much further development aside from bug fixes and +compatibility updates. Please don't let any apparent project inactivity +discourage you from using the software! |
