  • Creating a CLI in C++
    3 projects | /r/cpp | 27 Apr 2022
    I am considering using a CLI generator like this. How could I add these commands to my shell? Here, we are simply calling cpp output files (e.g. ./add -x=1 -y=2, where add is a built file). What if I wanted all my commands to be visible elsewhere and with a prefix (e.g. math add -x=1 -y=2)?
  • fire-llvm: generate command line interfaces from ordinary C++ functions/classes
    2 projects | /r/cpp | 27 Dec 2021
    I'm a big fan of fire-hpp, which lets you turn C++ functions into command line interfaces. I wanted to make my own version which also supports classes and does not require any boilerplate code. The result is fire-llvm, a clang plugin that adds a compiler pass which automagically generates fire-hpp code prior to object code generation.

When comparing fire-hpp and CLI11 you can also consider the following projects:

argparse - Argument Parser for Modern C++

jarro2783/cxxopts - Lightweight C++ command line option parser

fire-llvm - A Clang plugin for generating CLIs from unmodified C++ functions/classes.

clipp - easy to use, powerful & expressive command line argument parsing for modern C++ / single header / usage & doc generation

cmake-project-template - This project is aimed at jump-starting a C/C++ project that can build libraries, binaries and have a working unit test suite. It uses CMake build system and is deliberately completely minimal.

gflags - The gflags package contains a C++ library that implements commandline flags processing. It includes built-in support for standard types such as string and the ability to define flags in the source file in which they are used. Online documentation available at:

args - A simple header-only C++ argument parser library. Supposed to be flexible and powerful, and attempts to be compatible with the functionality of the Python standard argparse library (though not necessarily the API).

Boost.Program_options - Boost.org program_options module
