As such it's a replacement for getopt(). It has 9increased flexibility, including built-in support for C++ types like 10string, and the ability to define flags in the source file in which 11they're used. 12 13Local Modifications: None 14 15 16How to update platform configuration files: 17The gen/ directory contains pre-generated configuration header files. 18Historically, all operating systems and architectures have generated 19similar configurations except for Windows. This is why there's only 20posix and win directories below gen/. 21When rolling gflags to a newer version, it's a good idea to check if 22new configuration files needs to be generated as well. 23Do this by running ./configure in the newly checked out version of 24gflags. Then diff the generated files with the ones below gen/. 25If you notice a diff, update the files with the updated ones. 26If you suspect platform dependend changes other than Windows, you'll 27have to checkout gflags on the other platforms as well and run 28./configure there too. 29
