I think it's the library. But in any case, I plan to remove the 'implicit' flag in 1.33. Why do you want it? What about:

desc.add_options() ("debug", bool_option(), "enable debugging")

? - Volodya

Why do I wanted? No special reason, I was learning to use the library and got stuck on that one. The code didn't do what the documentation said it should do.

Ok.

I wasn't aware of the bool_option.

Actually, it's called 'bool_switch', sorry for the typo.

Will that let me do something like myprogram --debug

Yes, exactly this.

or will I have to do something like myprogram --debug=1 ?

And this won't be allowed. - Volodya
