compat.argparse
#includeargparse — header-only argument parser for modern C++
#include <argparse/argparse.hpp>
mcpp add compat.argparse@3.2
Usage
From this repository's own test project — built and run by CI, not written for the website.
// Behavioral test — compat.argparse parses a command line, it does not merely
// include.
//
// argv is written by hand rather than taken from the runner, so the assertions
// are about argparse's behaviour and not about how `mcpp test` invokes a
// binary. No `import std;`: argparse.hpp is a textual header over the standard
// library.
#include <argparse/argparse.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
int main() {

How this was measured
Measured 2026-09-23 by tests/openkal/compat.py with openkal-llvm-runtime 0.15.1, llvm@22.1.8, mcpp 2026.9.21.3. The test project selects no platform dependency of its own. The badge above is a summary of the strictest measured target -- the table above states each target's own environment.
