Introduction of Argtable3

Argtable3 is an open source ANSI C library that parses GNU-style command-line options with the getopt library. It simplifies command-line parsing by defining a declarative-style API that you can use to specify what your command-line syntax looks like. Argtable3 will automatically generate consistent error handling logic and textual descriptions of the command line syntax, which are essential but tedious to implement for a robust CLI program.

Quick Start

You can embed the amalgamation source files in your projects, add Argtable3 as a dependency in the vcpkg manifest, install Argtable3 as a system-wide CMake package, or build the library from release archives.

Embed Amalgamation Source Files

We no longer provide the amalgamation source files (argtable3.c and argtable3.h) in the repository. You can get the amalgamation distribution either from the release page (argtable-<version>-amalgamation.(zip|tar.gz)), or generate the distribution yourself by using the generator under the tools directory:

  1. Navigate to the tools directory.
  2. Run ./build dist, which will generate the distribution under the <ROOT>/dist directory.

Add argtable3.c and argtable3.h from the amalgamation distribution to your projects. This is the simplest and recommended way to use Argtable3: it not only removes the hassle of building the library, but also allows compilers to do better inter-procedure optimization.

Install for a Single Project with vcpkg Manifest

vcpkg is an open source C/C++ package manager based on CMake, and it supports certain stable releases of Argtable3. To add the library to your CMake project, it's recommended to add vcpkg as a submodule to your project repo and use it to manage project dependencies. All libraries installed in this way can only be consumed by the project and won't impact other projects in the system.

If your project is under D:/projects/demo and the vcpkg submodule is under D:/projects/demo/deps/vcpkg, first you need to add Argtable3 to the manifest, D:/projects/demo/vcpkg.json:

{
    "name": "demo",
    "version": "0.0.1",
    "dependencies": [
        {
            "name": "argtable3",
            "version>=": "3.2.1"
        }
    ],
    "builtin-baseline": "92b42c4c680defe94f1665a847d04ded890f372e"
}

To add Argtable3 to your CMake scripts, you need to integrate the local vcpkg to CMake by setting the CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE variable. You also need to link to the static VC runtime (/MT or /MTd) if you want to use the static library version of Argtable3:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.18)

set(CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/deps/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
  CACHE STRING "Vcpkg toolchain file")

project(versionstest)

add_executable(main main.cpp)

find_package(Argtable3 CONFIG REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE argtable3::argtable3)

if(VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET STREQUAL "x64-windows-static")
  set_property(TARGET main PROPERTY MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY "MultiThreaded$<$<CONFIG:Debug>:Debug>")
endif()

Now you can run cmake to install Argtable3, configure and generate build scripts, and build the project:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-windows-static
$ cmake --build .

Install for All Projects with vcpkg

If you want to make Argtable3 available for all projects in the system, you can clone vcpkg to any directory and install packages there. Assuming vcpkg has been cloned in D:/dev/vcpkg and the directory has been added to PATH, you can install the static library version of Argtable3 in D:/dev/vcpkg/installed:

$ vcpkg install argtable3:x64-windows-static

Since each developer may clone vcpkg in a different place, it may not be appropriate to specify the CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE variable in CMakeLists.txt. Therefore, you should remove setting the CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE variable in the CMakeLists.txt example above, and set the variable in the command line:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-windows-static -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=D:/dev/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
$ cmake --build .

Build from Release Archives or Source

If none of the methods above suits your needs, or if you want to help developing Argtable3, you can always build from archives on the release page or from the repository.

  • If you use GCC (Linux, MacOSX, MinGW, Cygwin), run:

    $ mkdir build
    $ cd build
    $ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
    $ make
    $ make test

    Makefile-based generators in CMake only support one configuration at a time, so you need to specify CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to Debug, Release, MinSizeRel, or RelWithDebInfo. To build multiple configurations, you need to create a build directory for each configuraiton.

    Since v3.2.1, CMake scripts will check BUILD_SHARED_LIBS and build either the static library or the dynamic library at a time. BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is OFF by default, so if you want to build the dynamic library, you have to set BUILD_SHARED_LIBS to ON explicitly:

    $ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON ..

    To cleanup, run make clean or remove the build directory:

    $ rm -rf build
  • If you use Microsoft Visual C++ compiler, run:

    $ mkdir build
    $ cd build
    $ cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" ..
    $ cmake --build . --config Debug
    $ ctest -C Debug

    You can also use Visual Studio 2017 IDE to open the generated solution. To cleanup, just remove the build directory.

To build a tagged version, go to the project root directory, and use the Makefile in the project root folder to check out the specified version:

$ make taglist
Available TAGs:
v3.1.1.432a160
$ make co TAG=v3.1.1.432a160
$ cd .tags/v3.1.1.432a160
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ make test

You will find the shared library (or Windows DLL), static library, and the amalgamation distribution under the build directory.

Documentation

To learn how to use the Argtable3 API, you can see the documentation on the web site, study examples in the examples directory, or even check the unit tests in the tests directory.

To build a local copy of the documentation, you need to install the following tools:

  • Sphinx: A documentation generator based on the reStructuredText markup format.
  • Read the Docs Sphinx Theme: A Sphinx theme designed to look modern and be mobile-friendly.
  • Breathe: A bridge between the Sphinx and Doxygen documentation systems.
  • Doxygen: A documentation generator for C/C++ sources.

Go to the docs directory and run the doxygen command to generate Doxygen XML output, which will be saved in the docs/xml directory:

$ doxygen

Run the make batch script and you will see the documentation in the docs/_build/html directory.

$ make html

Unit Tests

Argtable3 is a BSD-licensed open source library, so you can modify the library anyway you want. However, before committing your code to your own repository or the Argtable3 official repository, please make sure your changes won't cause any compiler warning and can pass the unit tests included in the distribution.

To build and test each configuration (Debug, Release, MinSizeRel, RelWithDebInfo), you can run CMake and CTest on all supported platforms:

$ mkdir build_debug && cd build_debug
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
$ cmake --build . --config Debug
$ ctest -C Debug

$ cd .. && mkdir build_release && cd build_release
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
$ cmake --build . --config Release
$ ctest -C Release

$ cd .. && mkdir build_minsizerel && cd build_minsizerel
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel ..
$ cmake --build . --config MinSizeRel
$ ctest -C MinSizeRel

$ cd .. && mkdir build_relwithdebinfo && cd build_relwithdebinfo
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ..
$ cmake --build . --config RelWithDebInfo
$ ctest -C RelWithDebInfo

If you see the following screenshot, you know that some unit tests are broken:

$ make test

Memory Issue Detection with ASan and Valgrind

In order to prevent common memory issues in C, such as memory leak and buffer overflow, we should use ASan (AddressSanitizer) and Valgrind to detect as many memory-related problems as possible before committing our code.

To use ASan, we need to add -fsanitize=address to the CFLAGS variable when we run cmake to build the Debug version. We should use the Debug version because CMake will add -g to CFLAGS and prevent optimizing the code, so we can see accurate file names and line numbers in ASan error messages. After building the code, set the CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE variable to 1 to output error messages when we run unit tests:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ CFLAGS="-fsanitize=address" cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
$ make
$ CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE=1 make test
Running tests...

4/4 Test #4: test_amalgamation ................   Passed    3.29 sec

100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 4

Total Test time (real) =  13.12 sec

To use Valgrind, just use valgrind to run the unit test programs:

$ valgrind ./tests/test_src
