It seems to handle standard parsing quite well. 34 * [The Lean Mean C++ Option Parser]: One header file is great, but the syntax is atrocious, in my opinion.

35 * [TCLAP]: The not-quite-standard command line parsing causes common shortcuts to fail. It also seems to be poorly supported, with only minimal bugfixes accepted. Header only, but in quite a few files. Has not managed to get enough support to move to GitHub yet. No subcommands. Produces wrapped values. 35 * [TCLAP]: The not-quite-standard command line parsing causes common shortcuts to fail. It also seems to be poorly supported, with only minimal bugfixes accepted.

36 * [Cxxopts]: C++11, single file, and nice CMake support, but requires regex, therefore GCC 4.8 (CentOS 7 default) does not work. Syntax closely based on Boost PO, so not ideal but familiar. 36 * [Cxxopts]: C++11, single file, and nice CMake support, but requires regex, therefore GCC 4.8 (CentOS 7 default) does not work.

Too fragile and specialized. 37 +* [DocOpt]: Completely different approach to program options in C++11, you write the docs and the interface is generated. Too fragile and specialized.
  38 +* [GFlags]: The Google Commandline Flags library. Uses macros heavily, and is limited in scope, missing things like subcommands. It provides a simple syntax and supports config files/env vars.
