CmdLineArgs - a free model application

If you need to forward the command line arguments your Ultimate++ application is started with to another application or especially a library which you do not control, this can be a problem. The target application or library might expect the command line arguments to be passed in a way complying with the C++ standard. Ultimate++� CommandLine() doesn�t meet this expectation in many regards.

So I created �ArgcArgv� which provides �int argc� and �char* argv[]�. These variables behave exactly as the standard requires. ArgcArgv can easily be integrated in any application. CmdLineArgs shows how.

I publish the 2 files ArgcArgv.hpp and ArgcArgv.cpp which provide the solution and the 3 files CmdLineArgs.h, CmdLineArgs.lay, and main.cpp which make up the demo application as well as CmdLineArgs.upp � zipped to create a single file - as an attachment to this mail hoping that this will be useful to somebody.

I declare the code, which is thoroughly commented, public domain. Still I would really appreciate if a possible user informed me of errors or any improvements.

P. S.:

The files have been updated. Please use the new package attached to message #8046.
