@brief Commandline parsing, resource file parsing and database access


@section User For the user

The Configuration class will process the following steps:

Check the command-line for <B> --default=default.rc </B> (If no configuration
filename is given on the command-line use \e program_name.rc instead. (Note
that the name is retrieved from \b argv[0] and might change if you start
the program through a symbolic link with a different name)

Read the "<B>database=user:password@database:port/database</B>" entry from the file.
(For details about the syntax see Configuration::parse_database)
The retrieved entry can be overwritten by
"<B>--database=user:passwd@server:port/database</B>" from the command line. If
neither option is given no configuration data will be read from the
database. To suppress any database access use \b --no-database.

Check the command-line for <B> -C priority.rc </B>

The configuration data is now evaluated from the following sources in
the following order. Note that options from earlier source have
priority.

   - (1) Commandline options
   - (2) Options from the high prioroty configuration-file (given by \b -C or \b --config)
   - (3) Database entries
   - (4) Options from the default configuration-file (given by \b --default, defaults to \b program_name.rc)
   - (5) Options from the global configuration-file (constrctor path + \b fact++.rc)
   - (6) Environment variables

Which options are accepted is defined by the program. To get a list
of all command-line option use \b --help. This also lists all other
available options to list for exmaple the options available in the
configuration files or from the databse. In addition some default options
are available which allow to debug parsing of the options, by either printing
the options retrieval or after parsing.

Options in the configuration files must be given in the form

   - key = value

which is equivalent to the command-line option <B>--key=value</B>.

If there are sections in the configuration file like

\code

   [section1]
   key = value

\endcode

the key is transformed into <B>section1.key</B> (which would be equivalent
to <B>--section1.key</B>)

@attention
In principle it is possible that an exception is thrown before options
like \b --help are properly parsed and evaluated. In this case it is
necessary to first resolve the problem. Usually, this mean that there
is a design flaw in the program rather than a mistake of usage.

For more details on the order in which configuration is read,
check Configuration::Parse. For more details on the parsing itself
see the documentation of boost::program_options.




@section API For the programmer

The Configuration class heavily uses the
<A HREF="http://www.boost.org"><B>C++ boost library</B></A>
and makes heavy use of the
<A HREF="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/doc/html/program_options.html">
<B>boost::program_options</B></A>

The databse access is based on the
<A HREF="http://tangentsoft.net/mysql++/"><B>MySQL++ library</B></A>.

The basic idea is to have an easy to use, but powerfull setup. The setup on
all options is based on a special syntax of options_description. Here is an
example:

\code

    int opt = 0;

    po::options_description config("Section");
    config.add_options()
        ("option1",    var<string>(),                        "This is option1")
        ("option2",    var<int>(22),                         "This is option2")
        ("option3,o",  var<double>->required(),              "This option is mandatory")
        ("option4",    var<int>(&opt),                       "This is option 4")
        ("option5",    vars<string>(),                       "A list of strings")
        ("option6",    vars<string>(),                       "A list of strings")
        ("option7",    vars<string>,                         "A list of strings")
        ("option8",    var<string>()->implicit_value("val"), "Just a string")
        ("option9",    var<string>()->default_value("def"),  "Just a string")
        ("optionA",    var<string>("def"),                   "Just a string")
        ("bool",       po_bool(),                            "A special switch")
        ;

\endcode

This will setup, e.g.,  the commandline option '<B>--option1 arg</B>' (which
is identical to '<B>--option1=arg</B>'. Option 3 can also be expressed
in a short form as '<B>-o arg</B>' or '<B>-o=arg</B>'. Option 2 defaults
to 22 if no explicit value is given. Option 3 is mandatory and an exceptionb
is thrown if not specified. Option 4 will, apart from the usual access to the
option values, also store its value in the variable opt.

The used functions po_*() are defined in configuration.h and are abbreviations.
Generally speaking also other variable types are possible.

If the options are displayed, e.g. by \b --help the corresponding section will
by titled \e Section, also untitled sections are possible.

If an option can be given more than once then a std::vector<type> can be used.
Abbreviations po_ints(), po_doubles() and po_strings() are available.

There are several ways to define the behaviour of the options. In the
example above Parse will throw an exception if the "--option3" or "-o"
option is not given. "option9" will evaluate to "def" if it is not
given on the command line. The syntax of "optionA" is just an
abbreviation. "option8" will evaluate to "val" if just "--option5" but
no argument is given. Note, that these modifiers can be concatenated.

A special type po_bool() is provided which is an abbreviation of
var<bool>()->implicit_value(true)->default_value(false). In
contradiction to po_switch() this allows to set a true and
false value in the setup file.

In addition to options introduced by a minus or double minus, so called
positional options can be given on the command line. To describe these
options use

\code

    po::positional_options_description p;
    p.add("option5", 2); // The first 2 positional options
    p.add("option6", 3); // The next three positional options
    // p.add("option7", -1); // All others, if wanted

\endcode

This assigns option-keys to the positional options (arguments) in the
command-line. Note that the validity of the given commandline is checked.
Hence, this way of defining the options makes sense.

As needed options_descriptions can be grouped together

\code

    po::options_description config1("Section1");
    po::options_description config2("Section2");

    po::options_description configall;
    configall.add(config1);
    configall.add(config2);

\endcode

The member functions of Configurations allow to define for which option
source these options are valid. The member functions are:

\code

    Configuration conf;

    conf.AddOptionsCommandline(configall, true);
    conf.AddOptionsConfigfile(config1, true);
    conf.AddOptionsDatabase(config2, true);

    // To enable the mapping of the position arguments call this
    conf.SetArgumentPositions(p);

\endcode

If the second option is false, the options will not be displayed in any
\b --help directive, but are available to the user. Each of the functions
can be called more than once. If an option should be available from
all kind of inputs AddOptions() can be used which will call all
four other AddOptions() functions.

A special case are the options from environment variables. Since you might
want to use the same option-key for the command-line and the environment,
a mapping is needed (e.g. from \b PATH to \b --path). This mapping
can be implemented by a mapping function or by the build in mapping
and be initialized like this:

\code

   conf.AddEnv("path", "PATH");

\endcode

or

\code

   const string name_mapper(const string str)
   {
      return str=="PATH" ? "path" : "";
   }

   conf.SetNameMapper(name_mapper);

\endcode

Assuming all the above is done in a function calles SetupConfiguration(),
a simple program to demonstrate the power of the class could look like this:

\code

   int main(int argc, char **argv)
   {
       int opt;

       Configuration conf(argv[0]);
       SetupConfiguration(conf, opt);

       po::variables_map vm;
       try
       {
          vm = conf.Parse(argc, argv);
       }
       catch (std::exception &e)
       {
           po::multiple_occurrences *MO = dynamic_cast<po::multiple_occurrences*>(&e);
           if (MO)
               cout << "Error: " << e.what() << " of '" << MO->get_option_name() << "' option." << endl;
           else
               cout << "Error: " << e.what() << endl;
           cout << endl;

           return -1;
       }

       cout << "Opt1: " << conf.GetString("option1") << endl;
       cout << "Opt2: " << conf.GetInt("option2") << endl;
       cout << "Opt3: " << conf.GetDouble("option3") << endl;
       cout << "Opt4: " << opt << endl;

       return 0;
   }

\endcode

Another possibility to access the result is the direct approach, for example:

\code

   vector<int>    i   = vm["option2"].as<int>();
   vector<string> vec = vm["option6"].as<vector<string>>();

\endcode

Note that accessing an option which was not given will throw an exception.
Therefor its availability should first be checked in one of the following
ways:

\code

   bool has_option1 = vm.count("option1");
   bool has_option2 = conf.Has("option2");

\endcode

@section Extensions

The configuration interpreter can be easily extended to new types, for example:

\code

template<class T,class S> // Just for the output
   std::ostream &operator<<(std::ostream &out, const pair<T,S> &f)
   {
       out << f.first << "|" << f.second;
       return out;
   }

template<class T, class S> // Needed to convert the option
   std::istream &operator>>(std::istream &in,  pair<T,S> &f)
   {
       char c;
       in >> f.first;
       in >> c;
       if (c!=':')
           return in;
       in >> f.second;
       return in;
   }

typedef pair<int,int> mytype; // Type definition

void main(int argc, char **argv)
{
   po::options_description config("Configuration");
   config.add_options()
        ("mytype", var<mytype>(), "my new type")
        ;

   Configuration conf;
   conf.AddOptionsCommandline(config);
   conf.Parse(argc, argv);

   cout << conf.Get<mytype>("mytype") << endl;
}

\endcode

@section Examples

 - An example can be found in \ref argv.cc

@todo

 - Maybe we should remove the necessity to propagate argv[0] in the constructor?
 - Add an option to the constructor to switch of database/file access

//! The idea of the Parse() memeber-function is to parse the command-line,
//! the configuration files, the databse and the environment and return
//! a proper combined result.
//!
//! In details the following actions are performed in the given order:
//!
//!  - (0)  Init local variables with the list of options described by the
//!         data members.
//!  - (1)  Reset the data members fPriorityFile, fDefaultFile, fDatabase
//!  - (2)  Parse the command line
//!  - (3)  Check for \b --help* command-line options and performe
//!         corresponding action
//!  - (4)  Check for \b --print and \b --print-all and perform corresponding
//!         action
//!  - (5)  Read and parse the global configuration file, which is compiled
//!         from the path corresponding to the argument given in the
//!         constructor + "/fact++.rc", unrecognized options are always
//!         allowed. Note that in contradiction to all other options
//!         the options in this file are not checked at all. Hence,
//!         typos might stay unnoticed.
//!  - (6)  Read and parse the default configuration file, which is either
//!         given by the default name or the \b --default command-line
//!         option. The default name is compiled from the argument
//!         given to the constructor and ".rc".  If the file-name is
//!         identical to the default (no command-line option given)
//!         a missing configuration file is no error. Depending on
//!         the \b --dont-check and \b --dont-check-files options,
//!         unrecognized options in the file throw an exception or not.
//!  - (7)  Check for \b --print-default and \b --print-all and perform
//!         corresponding action
//!  - (8)  Read and parse the priority configuration file, which must be given
//!         by the \b --config or \b -C command-line option or a
//!         corresponding entry in the default-configuration file.
//!         If an option on the command-line and the in the configuration
//!         file exists, the command-line option has priority.
//!         If none is given, no priority file is read. Depending on
//!         the \b --dont-check and \b --dont-check-files options,
//!         unrecognized options in the file throw an exception or not.
//!  - (9)  Check for \b --print-config and \b --print-all and perform
//!         corresponding action
//!  - (10) Retrieve options from the database according to the
//!         options \b --database and \b --no-database. Note that
//!         options given on the command-line have highest priority.
//!         The second priority is the priority-configuration file.
//!         The options from the default configuration-file have
//!         lowest priority.
//!  - (11) Check for \b --print-database and \b --print-all and perform
//!         corresponding action
//!  - (12)  Parse the environment options.
//!  - (13) Check for \b --print-environment and \b --print-all and perform
//!         corresponding action
//!  - (14) Compile the final result. The priority of the options is (in
//!         decreasing order): command-line options, options from the
//!         priority configuration file, options from the database,
//!         options from the default configuration-file and options
//!         from the environment.
//!  - (15) Find all options which were found and flagged as unrecognized,
//!         because they are not in the user-defined list of described
//!         options, are collected and stored in the corresponding
//!         data-members.
//!  - (16) Find all options which where registered with wildcards and
//!         store the list in fWildcardOptions.
//!  - (17) Before the function returns it check for \b --print-options
//!         and \b --print-unknown and performs the corresponding actions.
//!
//!
//! @param argc,argv
//!    arguments passed to <B>main(int argc, char **argv)</B>
//!
//! @returns
//!    A reference to the list with the resulting options with their
//!    values.
//!
//! @todo
//!    - describe the exceptions
//!    - describe what happens in a more general way
//!    - print a waring when no default coonfig file is read
//!    - proper handling and error messages if files not available
