[AGENT++] Best way to configure Agent++?

[Mr. AWD]

I see…

Well that mean that I will have to write some kind of parser for the agent that I use. Would there be a benefit to add such feature to the agent++ once it is done? 

Right now the plan is to have a file with all the necessary items in there, which will be read at the startup of the agent. After reading everything will be checked and wrong fields will be thrown out of it. Then the file will be rewritten with a new content. The parser will most like be written as a class object that will take care of all details.

My guess is that the most of the init code from the main.cpp will be moved to the parser and read from the file. Is there anything that would make sense to add to better fit to the agent++?

Hi Fedja,

currently, there is no "standard" way. I have thought about an XML
config format, but due to lack of resources (time) there is still no
implementation available. One of the problems that exists with
XML is the overhead for the parser. My objective is to have the XML
configuration ready this year (4th quarter).

So you will have to choose your way...

Best regards,
Frank
