Attached.  This is the output:

$ g++ -o test test.cc -lboost_program_options
$ ./test --all
all-source-chroots
$ ./test --all-chroots
all-chroots
$ ./test --all-sessions
all-sessions
$ ./test --all-source-chroots
all-source-chroots

so you can clearly see that --all is actually being treated by
boost_program_options as being --all-source-chroots.


Regards,
Roger
