使用 Google gflags 简化命令行参数处理

（本文章仅适用于C++程序）
写服务程序时，如果需要提供命令行参数。传统的方法是手工解析argv参数，或者使用getopt函数。两种方法都比较费劲。使用Google gflags可以大大简化命令行参数处理。

安装gflag

从官方地址http://code.google.com/p/google-gflags/下载gflags并安装。比如我下载的是1.5版本。

[yichi@yichi tmp]$ wget http://google-gflags.googlecode.com/files/gflags-1.5.tar.gz

[yichi@yichi tmp]$ tar zxvf gflags-1.5.tar.gz

[yichi@yichi tmp]$ cd gflags

[yichi@yichi gflags-1.5]$ ./configure –prefix=$HOME/google-library

[yichi@yichi gflags-1.5]$ make j=4 & make install

使用gflags

编译示例程序

[yichi@yichi gflags-sample]$ g++ -o gflags-sample main.cc -I $HOME/google-library/include -L $HOME/google-library/lib -lgflags

运行示例程序

带参数运行

[yichi@yichi gflags-sample]$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/google-library/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./gflags-sample

Server module id:

Run as daemon: 1

HTTP listen port: 80

HTTPS listen port: 443

带参数运行，使用等号赋值

[yichi@yichi gflags-sample]$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/google-library/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./gflags-sample -module_id="server_007" -daemon=true -http_port=8080 -https_port=4443

Server module id: server_007

Run as daemon: 1

HTTP listen port: 8080

HTTPS listen port: 4443

带参数运行，使用空格分割参数和值

[yichi@yichi gflags-sample]$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/google-library/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./gflags-sample -module_id "server_007" -daemon true -http_port 8080 -https_port 4443

Server module id: server_007

Run as daemon: 1

HTTP listen port: 8080

HTTPS listen port: 4443
