[Getfem-users] Problem with parameters handling

[Roman Putanowicz]

Hi, 

I have a problem with setting string parameters from command line:
I have written this small test program:

#include <ftool.h>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  ftool::md_param params;
  params.add_string_param("MSG", "Foo is not Bar");
  params.add_real_param("size", 1.0);
  params.read_command_line(argc, argv);
  std::cout << params.string_value("MSG") << "\n";
  std::cout << params.real_value("size") <<  "\n";
  return 0;
};

and this is the result of running it with different command line arguments.

jinx:~/programming/c++/getfem/examples/params>./params 
Foo is not Bar
1

jinx:~/programming/c++/getfem/examples/params>./params -d size=10.11
Foo is not Bar
10.11

jinx:~/programming/c++/getfem/examples/params>./params -d size=10.11 -d
MSG='foo'
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'dal::failure_error'
  what():  Error in ftool.cc, line 166 : 
  Error reading command line line 1 : Parameter foo not found
  Abort

So as you can see it fails when trying to set string parameter.
On the other hand when using parameter file it works all right.

I will look at the source code but maybe some of you will be 
quicker in finding this bug (if this is a bug:).


Regards

Roman
