\section arg_parser__argument Argument
Argument is the leaf of argument parser.
It has the same position as setting in universal config manager.
\subsection arg_parser__argument__presets Argument Presets
\subsubsection arg_parser__argument__presets__number Number Argument
Like setting in universal config manager,
we also provide various common used argument presets.
Current'y we support following argument presets:
\subsubsection arg_parser__argument__presets__string String Argument
\li NumberArgument: The argument storing arithmetic type (except \c bool) inside. Such as <TT>-i 114514</TT> in example.
\li StringArgument: The argument storing string inside. Such as <TT>--string fuck</TT> in example.
\li SwitchArgument: The argument storing nothing. It is just a simple switch. Such as <TT>-b</TT> in example.
\subsubsection arg_parser__argument__presets__switch Switch Argument
When constructing these argument,
you need provide one from long name or short name, or both of them.
Short name is the argument starting with dash and long name starts with double dash.
You don't need add dash or double dash prefix when providing these names.
Please note only ASCII characters, which can be displayed on screen, can be used in these names.
Switch argument must be optional argument.
Optionally, you can provide description when constructing,
which will tell user how this switch does and more infomation about this switch.
And, you can add an example to tell user which value is valid.
Next, you can specify an argument to be optional.
Optional argument can be absent in command line.
Oppositely, non-optional argument must be presented in command line,
otherwise parser will return false to indicate an error.
For checking whether an optional argument is specified,
please call AbstractArgument::IsCaptured().
Last, you can optionally assign a constraint to it,
to help argument limit its value.
However SwitchArgument must be optional argument.
Because it is true if user specify it explicit it,
and will be false if user do not give this flag.
Switch argument also doesn't contain any value.
Because it is just a switch.
It can not hold any value.
SwitchArgument doesn't have constraint features,
because it doesn't store any value inside.
Thus no need to limit this.
\subsection arg_parser__argument__custom Custom Argument
In most cases, the combination use of argument presets and constraints is enough.
However, if you still are urge to create your personal argument,
please inherit AbstractArgument and implement essential class functions.
For the class functions you need to implement,
please refer to our argument presets.
\section arg_parser__argument_list Argument List
Argument list is a struct used by parser for parsing.
It is a higher wrapper of a simple list containing argument items.
We provide 2 ways to get argument list.
\li ArgumentList::CreateFromStd: Create argument list from standard C main function parameters.
\li ArgumentList::CreateFromWin32: Create argument list from Win32 functions in Windows.
You should use this function in Windows instead of ArgumentList::CreateFromStd.
Because the command line passed in standard C main function has encoding issue in Windows.
Use this function you will fetch correct argument list especially command including non-ASCII characters.
Please note the first argument in given command line will be stripped.
Because in most cases it point to the executable self,
and should not be seen as the part of argument list.
\section arg_parser__option_context Option Context
Please note any unknow argument will let the parser return false.
This is different with other argument parsers.
In other common argument parsers,
they will collect all unknow argument ad positional argument,
they will collect all unknow argument as positional argument,
or just simply ignore them.
OptionContext also will not add \c -h or \c --help switch automatically.
This is also differnent with other parsers.
You should manually add it.
However, OptionContext provide a universal help print function.
However, OptionContext provide a universal help print function, OptionContext::Help.
You can directly call it to output help text if you needed (fail to parse or user order help).
