class Parameters

This class stores a set of parameters. Each parameter is identified by a unique string (the key) and a value of some given value type. Parameter sets can be nested at arbitrary depths.

A parameter may be either int, double, string or boolean valued.

Parameters may be added as follows:

Parameters p(“my_parameters”); p.add(“relative_tolerance”, 1e-15); p.add(“absolute_tolerance”, 1e-15); p.add(“gmres_restart”, 30); p.add(“monitor_convergence”, false);

Parameters may be changed as follows:

p[“gmres_restart”] = 50;

Parameter values may be retrieved as follows:

int gmres_restart = p[“gmres_restart”];

Parameter sets may be nested as follows:

Parameters q(“nested_parameters”); p.add(q);

Nested parameters may then be accessed by

p(“nested_parameters”)[”...”]

Parameters may be nested at arbitrary depths.

Parameters may be parsed from the command-line as follows:

p.parse(argc, argv);

Note: spaces in parameter keys are not allowed (to simplify usage from command-line).
