template<typename... Aliases>

Option_t const& util::MultipleChoiceSelection< Choices >::addOption	(	Choices_t	value,
		std::string	label,
		Aliases...	aliases
	)

Adds a new option to the selector.

Template Parameters

Aliases

any number of std::string

Parameters

value	the value of the new option
label	the first label to associate to the option
aliases	additional aliases for this option

Returns

the newly created option

Exceptions

OptionAlreadyExistsError

if there is already an option with value

See also

addAlias()

An option must always have a label; aliases are instead optional. There must be no existing option with the specified value, otherwise an exception will be thrown with the label of the existing option. To add aliases to an existing option, use addAlias() instead. Currently, it is not possible to change a label after having added it.

template<typename Choices >

auto util::MultipleChoiceSelection< Choices >::addOption ( Option_t &&  option )

private

Moves the specified option into the list of registered options.

Parameters

option

the option to move

Returns

the newly added option

Exceptions

OptionAlreadyExistsError

if there is already an option with the same value or any of the labels; in that case, label() method of the exception will report the offending label of option or its name if it is the value to be duplicated
