Re: [Boost-users] program_options error class

In the latest implementation of boost (1.34), the error class in boost::program_options is defined as a subclass of std::logic_error. This is, however, not stated in the documentation. In the documentation the class error is described as if it has no superclass from which it inherits.

This is documentation issue, I think. Docbook/BoostBook toolchain does not show base classes in some cases.

In my programs, can I safely rely on the fact that error inherits from std::logic_error, and so comfortably use the what() function to extract the error messages? Might this change in later implementations?

I don't plan any such change in a foreseeable future. - Volodya
