What is a god method of creating a OptionGroup? The best option I see is to asign every member of Glib::OptionEntry and then add it to the Glib::OptionGroup. Like so: Glib::OptionGroup mainGroup; Glib::OptionEntry ent; ent.set_long_name("verbose"); ent.set_short_name('V'); ent.set_description("Set Verbosity level (0, 1, 2)"); ent.set_arg_description("LEVEL"); mainGroup.add_entry(ent, verbosityLevel); and this for every entry. This is to mutch code so i use the c-style. I would like to use c++ features like std::vector and Glib::ustring instead of NULL terminated arrays. Is ther a bether way of doing it?
No, there is no better way. There is a bunch of overloaded Gio::Application::add_main_option_entry() methods that take all the necessary parameters for creating a new Glib::OptionEntry. But there are no corresponding Glib::OptionGroup methods, and no Glib::OptionEntry constructor that takes all the necessary parameters (long_name, short_name, etc.).
