Subject: New parameter: "-k value", to specify divisor for algorithms *best*.
X-Git-Tag: exp_20120216~26
X-Git-Url: https://bilbo.iut-bm.univ-fcomte.fr/and/gitweb/loba.git/commitdiff_plain/43bc22b6612b96aae16aa8f955edfbfe83dab39b?hp=03905d3412f2a4f915f4a1a1564b87ef7adff11a

New parameter: "-k value", to specify divisor for algorithms *best*.

Define and use opt::loba_best_divisor instead of opt::option_x to
specify the divisor for algorithms besteffort and 2besteffort.

The command line parameter "-k" is used to change its value.

 * Remove usage of opt::option_x in loba_besteffort.cpp and loba_2besteffort.cpp
-   Either simply remove it, or change it to a real option.
+   Use -k instead (done).  Remove hack marked "FIXME" in opt::parse_args().
 
 * Support heterogeneous platforms?
    Not sure yet.
