  • CLI11 is making all the other options libraries look bad, does anyone have a comparison from experience?

    I love CLI11! It has been pretty easy all the way through. Used to use lyra before but since I wanted to have subgroups in Tolc I had to switch. Great job on CLI11 if the author is in the chat :)

    I'm working on a project called Tolc that is generating bindings from C++ to other languages. When creating bindings to a class MyClass, it needs to be defined before any code using that class (for example a function that returns an instance of it). Therefore I needed to know in which order to define things. Honestly I just had so much fun solving this problem (using some C++20 and features) that I wrote a post so sum it all up:

    Hi everyone!

    Some friends and I were unhappy with how much work it was to use C++ from other languages. We were working in the optimizations industry and often had to prototype with python. Eventually, we created a tool to make it easier for C++ to talk to python (by generating pybind11). Later, javascript via WebAssembly was added as well. It's now at a point where it's very easy to just create a C++ library and use it from any of those languages without change. We're planning on slowly adding more languages as needed/requested. The next on the list are Swift and Kotlin.

    It does not require any change to your existing public interface, but simply reads it and creates the bindings off of that. It should also work on Linux (Debian), MacOS, and Windows (Visual Studio). Here's a small demo if you'd like to test:

    https://github.com/Tolc-Software/tolc-demo

    And here are the repositories with the source code:

    https://github.com/Tolc-Software/tolc - The executable

    https://github.com/Tolc-Software/frontend.py - The python bindings generator

    https://github.com/Tolc-Software/frontend.wasm - The WebAssembly bindings generator

    https://github.com/Tolc-Software/Parser - The C++ parser

    It is dual licensed with AGPL and, if someone wants, a commercial license as well.

    Would be cool if someone finds it useful!
