Detailed Description

A convenient holder for the command line arguments, with helper methods for checking whether an option has been given or getting the value(s) corresponding to a given option.

Options are considered to be any argument starting with a '-' followed by a non-numeric character, in order to distinguish between options and negative numbers. Each option may have zero or more values following it on the command line. Examples:

  • -option1 on
  • –my_param value
  • –verbose
  • -numbers 1 8 -4.5
  • –models model1 model2

The cxxtest harness will fill in the member variables when a test is started. They can then be read by PETSc when it is initialised, and by other code as required.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ CommandLineArguments()

CommandLineArguments::CommandLineArguments ( )
private

Default constructor. Should never be called directly, call CommandLineArguments::Instance() instead.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetBoolCorrespondingToOption()

bool CommandLineArguments::GetBoolCorrespondingToOption ( const std::string &  rOption)

Read bools from the command line. This accepts 0 or 1, and also true/True/TRUE and false/False/FALSE.

Parameters
rOptionThe option name as a string.
Returns
Whether the option was set to true or false.

Definition at line 209 of file CommandLineArguments.cpp.

References EXCEPTION, and GetStringCorrespondingToOption().

◆ GetDoubleCorrespondingToOption()

double CommandLineArguments::GetDoubleCorrespondingToOption ( const std::string &  rOption,
int  valueNumber = 1 
)
Returns
the double for a given option.

This uses GetValueCorrespondingToOption and converts the char* to a double.

Parameters
rOptionthe option name as a string.
valueNumberthe number of the argument following the option definition (defaults to 1, for 1st argument).

Definition at line 91 of file CommandLineArguments.cpp.

◆ GetDoublesCorrespondingToOption()

std::vector< double > CommandLineArguments::GetDoublesCorrespondingToOption ( const std::string &  rOption)
Returns
a collection of doubles for a given option.

This uses GetDoubleCorrespondingToOption repeatedly.

Parameters
rOptionthe option name as a string.

Definition at line 176 of file CommandLineArguments.cpp.

References GetDoubleCorrespondingToOption(), and GetNumberOfArgumentsForOption().

◆ GetIndexForArgument()

int CommandLineArguments::GetIndexForArgument ( std::string  rOption)
private
Returns
the index for the given argument. Returns -1 if the argument is not found.
Parameters
rOptionthe argument name as a string.
Returns
the position of the argument in the list (indexed from 1)

◆ GetIntCorrespondingToOption()

int CommandLineArguments::GetIntCorrespondingToOption ( const std::string &  rOption,
int  valueNumber = 1 
)
Returns
the int for a given option.

This uses GetValueCorrespondingToOption and converts the char* to an int.

Parameters
rOptionthe option name as a string.
valueNumberthe number of the argument following the option definition (defaults to 1, for 1st argument).

◆ GetIntsCorrespondingToOption()

std::vector< int > CommandLineArguments::GetIntsCorrespondingToOption ( const std::string &  rOption)
Returns
a collection of ints for a given option.

This uses GetIntCorrespondingToOption repeatedly.

Parameters
rOptionthe option name as a string.

Definition at line 198 of file CommandLineArguments.cpp.

References GetIntCorrespondingToOption(), and GetNumberOfArgumentsForOption().

◆ GetNumberOfArgumentsForOption()

int CommandLineArguments::GetNumberOfArgumentsForOption ( const std::string &  rOption,
bool  throwIfNone = false 
)
Returns
the number of arguments for a given option. Throws an Exception if the option does not have any following arguments, or the option does not exist. So you can use OptionExists() to avoid Exceptions in your code when using the other public methods.
Parameters
rOptionthe option name as a string.
throwIfNoneWhether to give an exception if there are no arguments for this rOption (defaults to false).
Returns
the number of arguments following this option.

◆ GetStringCorrespondingToOption()

std::string CommandLineArguments::GetStringCorrespondingToOption ( const std::string &  rOption,
int  valueNumber = 1 
)
Returns
the string for a given option.

This uses GetValueCorrespondingToOption and converts the char* to a std::string.

Parameters
rOptionthe option name as a string.
valueNumberthe number of the argument following the option definition (defaults to 1, for 1st argument).

◆ GetStringsCorrespondingToOption()

std::vector< std::string > CommandLineArguments::GetStringsCorrespondingToOption ( const std::string &  rOption)
Returns
a collection of strings for a given option (useful for inputting a list of files for example).

This uses GetStringCorrespondingToOption repeatedly.

Parameters
rOptionthe option name as a string.

Definition at line 165 of file CommandLineArguments.cpp.

References GetNumberOfArgumentsForOption(), and GetStringCorrespondingToOption().

◆ GetUnsignedCorrespondingToOption()

unsigned CommandLineArguments::GetUnsignedCorrespondingToOption ( const std::string &  rOption,
int  valueNumber = 1 
)
Returns
the unsigned for a given option.

This uses GetValueCorrespondingToOption and converts the char* to an unsigned. Throws an exception if the option converts to a negative integer.

Parameters
rOptionthe option name as a string.
valueNumberthe number of the argument following the option definition (defaults to 1, for 1st argument).

◆ GetUnsignedsCorrespondingToOption()

std::vector< unsigned > CommandLineArguments::GetUnsignedsCorrespondingToOption ( const std::string &  rOption)
Returns
a collection of unsigneds for a given option.

This uses GetUnsignedCorrespondingToOption repeatedly.

Parameters
rOptionthe option name as a string.

Definition at line 187 of file CommandLineArguments.cpp.

References GetNumberOfArgumentsForOption(), and GetUnsignedCorrespondingToOption().

◆ GetValueCorrespondingToOption()

char * CommandLineArguments::GetValueCorrespondingToOption ( const std::string &  rOption,
int  valueNumber = 1 
)
Returns
the value for a given option, i.e. the argument after the option name in the list of command line arguments. For example, if the following arguments were given ./heart/build/debug/TestMyClassRunner -timestep 0.04 Then calling CommandLineArguments::Instance()->GetValueCorrespondingToOption("-timestep"); will return 0.04 (as a char*). Use atoi or atof to convert the char* to an int or a double(float) respectively, or call one of our convenience methods for common types.
Parameters
rOptionthe option name as a string.
valueNumberthe number of the argument following the option definition (defaults to 1, for 1st argument).
